Brescia, like all cities in the world, has some safer areas and others less so. The train station is a moderately safe area during the day, but not at night or in the evening you have to be with another person because there are drunk people.another area to avoid 100% during the evening and night is via Milano, if it is necessary to go there I recommend accompanied by several male people the means of transport are modern and safe even for those traveling alone. I always use the buses for everything, but not late at night. verbal harassment unfortunately also happens in Brescia during the day.

It’s safe as any big city can be: it definitely could be better, although on the other hand it isn’t extremely dangerous. it is also fairly safe to walk around alone, even at night, especially cause pretty often it’s packed
