Until now I have not been feeling unsafe walking after dark in streets or in crowded areas but sometimes I have heard that some sexual harassment and rubbing happened in some areas. For example l heard that areas like milan barier and aurora are less safe.

From my POV, Turin is quite a safe city during the day. Around the city center and in many neighborhoods such as Crocetta or San Donato, I would say it is safe at night as well. However, there are some parts of the city that is better to avoid like any city. I’ve heard stories of robbery, sexual harassment, and aggressions during the day/night especially in the Barriera di Milano neighborhood. This starts from Corso Giulio Cesare. Some say Aurora neighborhood is also to avoid, but it really depends from street to street. It is known to be a place where you may see addicts regroup, especially close to the Dora river. Porta Palazzo is also in Aurora, but while it might seem a bit dangerous, the area has improved dramatically in the last few years. I’ve been living around Piazza della Repubblica for years now and I feel safe, it’s just a multicultural environment: nothing new to experienced travelers.

it depends on where you are. I was only in the city in busy areas, so I felt really safe. just be aware that Italians are more social and loud and contact friendly, so they may start talking to you, but I haven't experienced it to be bad intended

The city is mostly filled with students. It's safe to travel, I didn't have any unpleasant experience. I lived there for an year. But, there are certain places where illegal immigrants are high, and the safety is very less. You need to be super cautious about your belongings. There are chances you might get robbed. It's very unlikely to happen. But, better safe than never.

I don't consider it the safest city. There are areas right outside the centre that feel very spooky to me. Nothing ever happened to me, I only had weird encounters while going back home in the night, like kinda creepy people, but they were mostly minding their business. However, in some areas of the city, actual crimes take place and are reported on the news.

I’ve been here for only 4 months now, however I fell much safer here than back in Russia. I haven’t experienced any sexually related crimes and hope not to. Even though I have my fair amount of panic while walking in the dark, but I don’t feel like I might be a target of aggression. Although in some neighborhoods like Milan Barrier it is very dangerous to be outside in the dark time of the day. But I don’t go there and mostly hang out in more crowded and safer neighborhoods.

it is generally safe, but you must be careful around porta nuova based on what i heard there are many pickpocket cases happening around there. also stay away from barreria di milano as well as aurora. those places are a bit far from the center and not safe at all especially after dark it’s a no go.

Generally I feel safe in Turin. It depends of course on in which part of the city we find yourself and at which period of the day. There are some places I prefer to avoid at night, as in each city. But in general I don’t think Turin is a dangerous city to live in

Is Turin worth visiting?

Travel rating

4 /5

I felt very safe in Turin. During the day, it’s easy to walk around and explore and even at night I felt comfortable especially in busy areas. Some must-see spots are the Mole Antonelliana, the Egyptian Museum, and Piazza Castello. Turin is pretty affordable compared to other major Italian cities. I stayed at Hotel Nizza, which is located in a great central area, close to major attractions and the train station. The hotel was clean, comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the room was perfect for a short stay. It was a budget-friendly option, making it a good choice for anyone looking to explore the city without spending too much on accommodation.
