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.

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. Highly recommended!!! https://secure.booking.com/app_link/myreservations.en.html?stid=325542&bn=4697326006&aid=332731 I didn't have time to do a lot, but I'll tell you what was in my plans: 1.

Family travel

I have a family house in Conversano, went to Bari, Polignano al Mare, Monopoli, Matera, Alberobello. Really nice spot to swim in Polignano, Matera was great, loads of films shot there. Downside is it's all gotten really touristy, so busier and more expensive. Amazing gelato at L'Incontro in Conversano. But it is also where the most men have eyed me up, asked me inappropriate things.

Solo travel

I just got back from a solo trip to Bari, and I didn't have a single unpleasant experience, everyone was very helpful and friendly. I walked around the city at night too, and I felt very safe.

I just simply fell in love with this city. Many people don’t stay here long, because they use it as a stop for their trip around Puglia. But let me tell you, I felt so at home. And although Bari is known as a rather dangerous city I never felt unsafe, I often walked home alone in the middle of the night (I stayed in the city center, just fyi)I could probably write a full food guide, but you must try Frulez, and Panzerotti & Focaccia at Magda. And so many cute vintage shops, Piattini...

Our stay in Bari is pretty short as we expect to take the ferry soon to Greece but it was overall a good experience :) The beach was nice, the people were welcoming and the coffee great ! I really appreciated the surroundings also.

Solo travel

Discovering the area of Puglia was a great experience. Extremely recommended for solo travellers. Food is amazing and people are exceptional. I think my trip was 50% tourist and 50% local. It was one of the best experiences in Italy.

I was in Bari with my daughter and I felt safe. The old town of Bari is very beautiful, though small. Overall, it's not an exceptionally charming city, but it's quite decent and definitely a great starting point. We stayed in a district located between the station and the old town, and everything was fine there. As is tradition in Italy, the areas directly around the station are the least pleasant.

Bari is pretty safe. People are polite and help you if needed. Maybe only the railway station is a bit unsafe for the presence of homeless and immigrants but generally they argue with each other and not with tourists. I only reccommand a bit of more attentions in that area. But don't panic anyway!

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

Overall it’s safe but you have to be always careful , in public transportation I have noticed some harassment ( verbal ) , also one time an old guy tried to invite me to meet , these stuff happen everywhere really so being careful is a must

I always felt very safe in Bari. The city is know to be dangerous on some guides on the internet, but after living there for 8 months, I never experienced any danger. Walking home alone at night never felt like a problem for me. I stayed in the city center, just fyi
