Is Bergamo Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Beautiful city! Probably one of my favorite towns in Italy. I felt it was mostly safe during the day (I would say at night near the station and in some alleys it’s kind of the same everywhere in Italy, I would avoid them), especially during christmas time the atmosphere was so cozy and peaceful. The little Christmas markets were perfect, not overfilled like the ones in big cities, and the local food was amazing! I had polenta with some other dishes, and seriously I can’t get enough of Veneto cuisines😭🤍 Would definitely recommend! During the wintertime espwcial Christmas if you’re looking for a not too overcrowded, overpriced place with very comforting atmosphere and sweet people.

I went there in fall on a group trip and we went to bergamo Alta I think it is called, but I was the most beautiful place I have ever been 🩷 the locals are very sweet and the food is absolutely amazing 🤩

As someone with an American accent, I was not very well liked here, as to be expected in small town Italy. My partner and I got an excessive amount of stares and comments everywhere we went, mostly for the way we dressed or our body hair, etc. It is more of a place for an Italian tourist, not really an American or non-Italian for that matter.

There are weird people around and especially in the train and bus station at night is full of homelesses and drunk people. The good side is that lately they increased police level but obviously is better to stay far from there and prefer the city center or città Alta at night

Bergamo is a safe city in general especially in the morning you won’t face any problems but you have to be careful at night especially real careful near the station it is not safe at all during the night and a bit creepy in the morning! Città Alta and other parts in the middle are ok.
