Is Messina safe for solo female travelers?

Messina can be considered a generally safe city for solo female travelers. Existing crime is usually low-level and non-violent, primarily including pickpocketing and purse snatching. Nevertheless, it is always important to take basic safety precautions, such as avoiding deserted areas late at night and being aware of personal belongings at all times. Many locals speak English which can help in any situation. Just like everywhere else, it's always best to adhere to the rule of thumb of 'staying alert and aware'.

Work&Travel in Messina. Animal care in the hills of Messina was amazing! Had a small room with a kitchen. The hosts made everyday lunch for me too. Never ate soooo good in my life before! Would do it every time again!

Messina is a very large city, there is not much crime and you can walk around safely, although I advise you to always keep your eyes open. It is a quite peaceful place and I recommend visiting it.

Messina is quite a peaceful, managable and not pricey in Sicily. I can see that people in here are so friendly, joyful and very supportive. I have been here for 2 years but all of my experiences are all good!
