Is Bari safe for solo female travelers?

Group travel

It was beautiful. So the food was fantastic. Locals were friendly and if we ask about diretions there was always someone who helped us. But for real google is enough and you do not need any other platform.

Couple travel

Family travel

I was in Bari for one day. And I didn't swim in the sea because it was cold. I felt safe. I rented a cool apartment on booking.com and was delighted with the host.

It is quite safe as a city, but there can be some issues with local criminality in some squares, particularly overnight. It's better to avoid places such as San Pio and Enziteto, and Libertà and Corso Italia in the city center.

I often experience catcalling when going out alone or with female friends. Usually doesn’t go more than that. Very late in the night it can be dangerous to be alone, I fear drunk men. But in crowded places it’s usually not a problem. The police is always around on weekends or crowded evenings. Anyway I always feel like not bringing very expensive stuff around if I’m going/ coming back alone from a place to where I live. Often when parking there are annoying people asking for money to ‘control...

I would describe bari as a fairly safe city but it depends on where you're walking. Around the center it's pretty safe except for the station and neighboring areas. Clearly the further you move away from the center the more unsafe it becomes
