How safe is Turin?

It’s really safe, I really don’t think you should be worried at all! Even at night you can feel really safe in the city center and in the neighbourhood close by. Public transport is ok even if I advice you to use a bike because it s more convenient

Turin is safe in mostly all areas, except for some streets as Corso Giulio Cesare and Via Nizza (porta nuova train station) where I wouldn’t recommend to walk alone at night. Just like major cities, you will want to be careful with pick pickers on public transport

Turin is a big city and there are neighbourhoods where I don’t feel safe walking alone in the night. However, I think that, despite the perception of unsafety, the actual risk of being physically in danger is quite low.

Safeness of Turin, as well as every other city, depends on the area. I would describe it at pretty safe, but there are for sure some phenomena creating some areas more vulnerable than others. I have never been either assaulted nor robbed, and since I live here I did not come to hear something happening to the people close to me.

Lovely city that depicts the true beauty of Italy. It’s full of activities to do while not being very touristy. Also, it’s one of the ideal places to live in for students. If you ever pass by Northern italy, torino is a must

Turin is a quiet city, but level of saefty depends on the neighborhood. At night walk alone or take a bus is safer in areas with more people, or in city centre. Nothern part of the city (Barriera di Milano, Aurora, Borgo Dora, Lucento, Vallette and others but especially first twos) is unsafe area day and night because of petty crime and drug traffic

There are a few areas and bus lines that are known to be risky (to my knowledge Barriera di Milano, and from personal experience line 71 by the train station Porta Nuova where I had my phone stolen). There is a quite a bit of bike thefts, but no more than any other metropolitan city. Overall, it's quite a safe place.

Turin is mostly a safe city, even if depends on the areas. Some districts may be a bit less safe especially after 10 pm, so I always suggest to pay attention even to my friends who have been always living here. Overall I feel quite safe when I go around alone.

Very much depends on the area. I find central areas very safe and have no problem being outside at night alone. However, other parts, especial eastern Turin, are not very safe and I would not walk there at night alone.

It depends on the neighborhoods: the area in which I live is pretty unsafe at night, catcalling is frequent even during the day and I would suggest not walking alone. I was also pickpocketed twice and it is not uncommon being harassed while waiting for public transportation.

Turin has been welcoming me and my dog Almond with warmth hugs! Greeted by the sunset on our arrival day and meeting lovely new friends/sisters in the city. The city is definitely beyooond dog friendly and its coming from us who lives in Berlin that is also considered dog friendly city! Food has been amazing and people has been really kind and heart-warming.

Turin is awesome! One of the more affordable cities to visit, with a super creative vibe. There’s tons of live music, jazz, and open mic nights! Also the food is great. Typical for the area, bagna cauda is a must try!!
