How safe is Venice?

Venice is not only gorgeous, at night I felt very safe walking back to my appartment on my own (I lived here for half a year so had quite some walks). The city is known for this safety feeling, even in the narrower steeets at the city center. Besides, I have never seen this many other women on a solo trip in a city.

Venice is a very safe city, but as a woman, you always need to be careful and look around to avoid problems. In any case, walking around at night, even alone, is safe and peaceful. The only problem in the city is pickpockets, who have decreased in recent years, but in crowded places it's always good to be cautious.

Venice is a safe city, there’s no much violence or crime. It’s not much dangerous to walk around even at late night. You may want to avoid the station bus and its surroundings if you are alone at night.

I'm new in town, and the first thing I've noticed is that there are a lot of immigrants who tend to be dangerous, so always watch out, girls. Overall, it is safe in public places!

I’d say that Venice island is quite safe. There’s many pickpockets especially in very touristic areas but apart from that, it’s generally quite safe. I wouldn’t recommend visiting Venezia Mestre alone after dark, especially the area close to the train station, since there have been a few people robbed or threatened.

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.

I think the most important thing to be careful is mosquitoes. Especially if you are going to travel in the summer you must take care of yourself about that. Also, there is no night life in Venice and I feel a bit unsafe after 10 pm even in the summer night. But overall; people, view, and architecture were mesmerizing. And you should definitely see the Murano and/or Burano islands
