How safe is Venice?

Venice is a safe city, because of tourism the authorities keep it very safe. You may see some socially marginalized people in the area next to mestre station but overall you can feel safe moving around at night alone as a woman

venice is a very safe city. Not having cars it makes me feel much more safer compared to other cities. I often walk alone even in the night and I almost always felt safe. Anyway you need to pay attention to your belongings, there could be thieves stealing stuff around!

Venice is very turistic and very safe. If you go outside of the island, like Mestre the safety is much worse, totally not raccomand it but in the island you can walk around alone also in the dark and no problem!

Venice is pretty safe except the pickpockets. But if you stay on the mainland (Mestre or Marghera) it is better to be aware all the time. Mestre is one of the most dangerous cities in Italy. i recommend to keep you money and personal stuff very close to yourself.

Solo travel

I loved my stay alone in Venice. I stayed there for 3 nights. The first day, I visited the whole main island on foot going to Punta della Dogana, then crossing Punta dell’Academia I went to Piazza San Marco, then Ponte di Rialto to reach the Jewish quarter. Very very nice. The second day, I went to visit the islands of Murano and Burano. I went to restaurants solo every day and ate really well. I recommend going to small traditional restaurants that are located in alleys.

Venice is a beautiful place; the people are very kind and pleasant. Not to mention, the food is amazing. You can do everything on foot, but the transportation is also safe. It's a very busy city with a lot of people at the same time.
