How safe is Verona?

the center of verona is often crowded and controlled by the carabinieri who pass by at all hours. Aan area that I would avoid in the evening is definitely the train station area. The veronetta area where the university clubs are located is quite quiet but better for group outings.

Verona is a quite safe city although it has, like every city, its ups and downs. I personally feel safe navigating it, although there is occasional cat calling and in certain areas you have to be more cautious (like for example venti settembre street, the porta nuova train station and the porta vescovo train station).

It’s safe because it’s a small town. You can walk alone through the streets and feel safe because there is always someone. Also public transports are safe. Of course some neighbourhoods are better than others but I’m happy to show you around.

Verona is quite safe, of course there are some areas that is better to avoid after dark like the bus station and the train station as there are a lot of homeless people and drug sellers going around, but I happened to be forced to stay in those areas one night to wait for a flixbus and beside having anxiety for could have happened, actually nothing happened and no one talked to me. Sometimes there is police around to check the area. Inside the city on the other hand I always feel safe.

It’s a pretty safe city if we’re talking about mugging or attacks, which happen more often to men. However as a woman I do worry about sexual harassment, from the usual catcalling or stares that happen every day, to the more rare touching. Precautions I take are: avoid being alone after dark, try to avoid “revealing” clothing, never accept rides or drinks from strangers.

Verona is not that safe, especially if you travel in the station’s area or around Porta Vescovo/via venti settembre. There are a lot of people that might cat-call you or assoult you. Please be safe if you have to walk around these places and try to get someone to walk around with you.

I’ve been living in verona for over 2 years and honestly I’ve never experienced any dangerous or even uncomfortable situations. I’d be rather careful when it comes to walking alone at night especially in the area of Borgo Roma.

It’s a small city and the center is really nice and safe, the only problem is that public transportation stops at 00:30. Other areas further from the center are less safe but less frequented.In summer the public transport continue until 2 a.m.

90% of the territory is safe for women, except for a couple of areas: Porta Vescovo and Borgo Roma (you are not going to be assaulted, but there is a risk of being robbed). You can easily move around on foot, even late at night. Generally speaking, the inhabitants mind their own business; it is mostly a quiet community. :)

Is Verona worth visiting?

Travel rating

4.2 /5

based on 7 experiences from female travelers

Group travel

I visited Verona 2 years ago for a school project. I stayed there for 4 nights and during my stay I felt very safe. The food and the water was quite expensive (in Greece is cheaper) but its was good. We had great time there visiting museums, and Romeo and Juliet house. It was kinda difficult to find open place to eat in afternoon or at evening but I suppose that’s how it’s works in Italy

About Me

Hi girlzzz Rebecca here :) I started to make foreign friends since a was a teen working and studing on the coast in England, carrying on the business in Bali and Ibiza recently. Currently they are my closest people, even if I can’t see them at any time I’m a native European, 75% Italian and 25% viking Growing up in the outskirts of Milan and have been living in Veron for years now (with a tiny roman break ) Sooo Veron is definitely my fav place to live in , so romantic and so ancient, like a fairytale and a strategic point to see a lot of cities around. Btw I’m a wild soul more than a “traveler”, for me go deep down in peoples local tradition is part of that specific vibe and I wanna know more and more about world and inabithants , so I’m really interested in a. EXCHANGE hosting. I don’t wanna bore u anymoreeeee
