Is Milan Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Couple travel

Milan is an ideal destination for a short city break. The food is delicious, with plenty of great Italian restaurants and cafés. The city is often seen as progressive and supportive of gender equality. However, for a stay longer than a few days, there are not many major tourist attractions compared with some other Italian cities, so it is best suited for a short city break of 2–3 days.

The cuisine was amazing and I definitely want to travel again to Italy once again...From my experience Milan is a very walkable city and you rarely need to take public transport. I went to Milan mid January, so there weren't that many people. I was able to safely solo travel around the city both at day and night time. I was quite scared to walk alone at night because I heard not so great experiences from past travelers, but since it wasn't summer season the streets were empty at night.

I enjoyed this beautiful city. I recommend the Cathedral and Victor Manuel. You can also visit the cemetery. If you visit Mc Donalds opposite the cathedral, you can see the whole Duomo. Recommendation: visit the city after the Olympic Games.

This was a very great experience Milano is a really pretty and amazing city just be careful on your phone , one of my friends was stolen. You have many activities and it's not really difficult to find one's way ! Don't Hesitate

We arrived in Milan on a Friday morning. We bought the transport tickets for like 15€ each, which was useful for three days, exactly the amount of time we spent there. The city is beautiful and walkable, there are cafés and restaurants om every corner. But if you're travelling there, I would advise you to plan the trip for an additional city nearby (like Como), because as beautiful as Milan is, there is not much to see.

Before visiting, I'd read that Milan was not the highlight of most people's Italy trips, but my friend and I loved it. Getting around using the metro was easy, and we saw quite a lot in a couple days while working through jet lag. We took care in selecting restaurants and ended up with great food, including a visit to Bar Luce. Went vintage/resale shopping, saw an opera, visited the cathedral, went to Sforza castle museum, and some small painted churches we happened upon. We stayed near Milano...

Solo travel

I visited Italy’s treasures Rome’s ancient ruins, Venice’s canals, Sicily’s charm, Milan’s fashion, and Lake Como’s beauty. Each city felt unique, making the trip truly unforgettable.i felt safe the people were so nice I’m definitely going back

Family travel

I kind of felt safe, because I also knew that people pick pocket in Italy a lot. I recommend going to see the old mall, it’s very beautiful but pricey shops. I also recommend going to the train Station, because outside there is a fun competition of rollerskating. Transportations was kind of hard, I recommend getting an uber if you are far away from your hotel/Airbnb. Otherwise it was a great place to visit I totally recommend visiting Milano, Italia. You can also find lots more fun stuff to do...

A very beautiful city, with an atmosphere of something ancient, mysterious, very beautiful ancient architecture, there is a lot to see, very tasty food but quite expensive, although there are also cheap cafes,there are 24-hour shops, they have very tasty cookies, sandwiches and tea haha, in general it is an ideal place for those who love old architecture and museums!

Solo travel

It was first time travelling alone, i came here in the morning. While walking i find out that there going Prada fashion show. I went to Duomo, Galleria, Park and so on. A lot of time i spent for researching the history of places.

Milan is a city that gives you a lot of opportunities in terms of experiences and work wise but generally speaking in the last years safety is becoming an issue. I would riccone d to go out with other people especially late during the night

Is not that safe, during the day is ok, normally in every area nin the centre and around the centre, but in the night you have to take care of yourself in every area, just because you can meet some random man, not because all areas are unsafe

TBH it’s not unsafe during the day, sometimes it quite unsafe at night but overall I would say Milan is safe and convenient to travel around, people here are very respectful and avoid doing harm to travellers.

i really do not feel safe walking alone anywhere as a young woman. many times i noticed i was being followed, and often men make disgusting comments. even though i said this, it happens all over the world and i would not say its the most dangerous city

always check on your things, especially on subways and popular areas. be extra careful. Milan isn’t safe at all as a city, they always hjt when you next expect it. Never let your guard down around those areas!

Milan is becoming increasingly dangerous. Certainly, there are worse cities and, above all, more dangerous areas than others, but you still need to be careful. Don't be alone, especially at night, and always keep your bags attached on the subway or in crowded places.
