Bolzano is generally a safe and calm city. Like anywhere, it has busier areas and quieter ones, but overall it feels comfortable and well organized. I usually feel at ease getting around during the day and in the evening, especially in the city center. After midnight there’s no public transport, so things get very quiet.

It depends in what area you are, near the train station, at the Talvera and near the cinema Cineplexx it’s pretty bad, but in the old town or also more quieter areas like residential districts it‘s more or less very safe

I would say that generally speaking Bolzano is a safe city. But despite the first impression of quietness and safety, it is starting to get more risky and dangerous to be a woman moving around the city alone in the dark and home burglaries are becoming a thing. But the city is still a small one and till you move in the center it is definitely one of the safest one in Italy.

Bolzano is a small safe city and it’s also well connected. There’s nothing to worry much and at night I’ve mostly felt safe with minimal concerns like encountering someone drunk or mentally unstable (but that’s rare from my experience)

It is overall a safe city during the day. At night it also feels safe for most parts, but caution should be exefcised as in all cities. A disadvantage is that the city becomes quiet early in the night so some people may feel uneasy walking alone. Caution should be exercised around the train station area. Also, if travelling by bike, make sure to lock it, etc, as they are essily stolen.
