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.

Solo travel

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.

Group travel

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

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
