It's too popular a tourist destination. I don't think it's not safe here, because there are police and quite a lot of people. But you should keep an eye on your belongings very carefully. I would choose to live not in the city itself, but at some short distance from it to feel safer
Posted: June 8, 2025Venice is a safe and pleasant city, we have some problems with pickpockets but we just have to be careful, the homeless are there but they stay in their own homes and almost always don't bother people.
Posted: May 29, 2025I was there for a few days on a girls trip. i felt really safe, whole day and even while coming back at night. I bet being in a group made me feel a lot more at ease but overall venice is giving calm, nice vibe.
Posted: May 11, 2025Catcalling and states are unfortunately all too common. That said, nothing serious has ever happened to me and I’ve always felt fairly safe. If you’re a solo traveller, please be aware of men and remain in public and well lit areas.
Posted: May 4, 2025I am not sure how to start this, I really like the city I live in, safety can be tricky you are never sure when could it happen to you too. I always make sure to be careful, watching my hand bag, checking everything and who is around me and nothing ever bad happened to me. At most just mean people and very very homophobic
Posted: April 29, 2025In my opinion it's considerably safe, especially the island. Even at night I don't feel uncomfortable walking home late and alone. Fortunately, I haven't experienced anything worse than catcalling. 🩷🩷

I absolutely loved Venice, it’s like an amazing maze everywhere! I got asked on dates whilest at dinner with my family multiple times, but overall it’s very expensive but I felt save, it’s beautiful and it’s worth going.
Posted: June 2, 2025Being in a group made me feel more safe and comfortable in a different country. It’s just so much fun to spend time with your friends but not in a basic, every day way. And if u get lost, at least u are together.
