We went to Naples with my friends from high school, a group of 6 girls. We had an awesome time, everybody kept saying to us not to rent close to the train station but after all there was the cheapest option and the one we could afford. We only stayed for 3-4 days so I don't have Many reccomendations but we had discovered a bar near our place that we spend every night, the people were warm and even if we didn't spoke the language somehow we were able to communicate 💜 I would totally recommend ☺️

Hi girls !! I spent a month near Naples and had the opportunity to visit the city several times. I always felt safe there, but I never experienced the nightlife. Don't bother going to the vintage market in Ercolano, it's just a street with a few thrift shops. Don't miss the historic center, where prices are the cheapest for food and gift shops, and you must also visit the Spanish Quarter!
Posted: March 7, 2025Experienced: January, 2025It is a beautiful city especially. The trip is so much better when you add Sorento or Positano to the route. I was fine traveling with my friends. But some of my friends had some unfortunate incidents in the city so I suggest you to be very careful. But there is a lot to see and a lot to eat. Probably the best pizza I’ve ever eaten in Italy. You’ll have a great time as long as you’re careful.

I felt safe because I was not alone. There are many things to see such as the sea, Vesuvius, Pompeii, many churches, wonderful squares and also beautiful sights. For those who love nightlife there are many bars and discos. Our budget was 500€ per one for 1 week, there are many accomodations on booking.it It is well served by public transport, the food is very good but not very cheap( make the booking before to go on a restaurant or pizzeria if you don't want do a very long line)
Posted: January 13, 2025I liked Naples, I was at a great hotel with a lot of travelers. The only time when I didn't feel safe us when I heard that another woman staying at my hotel was strangled by a robber trying to rob her purse until her male friend came and the robber took off. Nothing happened to me or her except for shock but it made me feel less safe there, especially at night.
Posted: July 23, 2024Experienced: August, 2021The city is a mess, you either love it or hate it. It has the same vibe as Brazil. Didn’t really feel safe although nothing bad happened. The attractions were amazing. Pompeii, Herculaneum, Vesuvius, catacombs, st. Elmo… and they have big discounts for <25
Posted: July 13, 2024Even though Naples is considered rough and a bit dangerous because of robberies, my boyfriend and I have never had any problems. I used to go to Naples a lot when I was a teenager and nothing ever happened. The Campanian cuisine is one of the best in Italy and the city is so characteristic that there's no such thing like it anywhere else in the world. We had lots of fun choosing street food; the streets in town are full of little display cabinets of typical food. Not to mention pizza! This is the capital of pizza and we think Di Matteo is the best pizzeria in Naples (a reminder in case you wished to visit this amazing city)
Posted: July 6, 2024Experienced: January, 2024City is not your typical European city. Lot of cat calling, can be very dangerous at night. I was with a friend and we did not feel safe walking when the sun came down even if we were 2. Having done a lot of solo travelling, I would be very cautious if I need to go back to Naples.
Posted: June 27, 2024Their are still going rumours over Naples, that says this City would be a dangerous place, but I didn't experienced this. Instead I had a fun time on a vivid and colourful place, with bright sunshine the whole May. Sights here are interesting, people are friendly, food and hostels are cheap - best conditions, when you need something that fits into your pocket. You have only to deal with the loud and crazy traffic and the point, that not so many here speaking well English - but for me the trip was worth it!

I think Naples has a bad reputation outside of Italy, because of safety reasons, but I felt safe all the time as a solo traveler. People in Naples are one of a kind, in a good way. Most of the time I walked, a lot of attractions are really close to each other. The food was excellent and really affordable in Naples. I only tried street food in there, like the cuoppo fritto and portafoglio. They were amazing and cheap.

I lived in Naples for at least 5 years; if you're in the company of men, nothing should happen, but if you're with women, you need to be a little cautious when going out at night. During the day, it's not dangerous; you just need to be careful when going to more populated or otherwise famous areas, because of pickpockets who might put their hands in your jacket pockets or backpacks. I always recommend not being alone; if you're alone during the day, nothing happens, but in the evening, you have to be very careful.
Posted: April 23, 2025i live in Naples and it's pretty safe if you know how to have confidence walking down the streets. Basically it's like "don't let the others give the impression of being a tourist", and it implies even in my own city.

I like to have walks around cities but especially in the nature, I like to party but also to enjoy chill moments to relax. I like to go camping and hiking. I love to read, make collages and other arts & crafts stuff, possibly with a glass of wine or a beer. I always end up talking about politics and social injustices. I tried to learn how to play guitar twice with no success, but I loooove music and I always look for events with live sessions. I also love to watch movies or go to concerts and theater. ACAB. Ah! Please give me all your tips on solo travelling, this is the next level I want to unblock!!!

Helloo, I am 25 years old, come from Germany and have just completed my Master's degree. I studied ‘Sustainable Mobility and Cycling Planning’ and my work is about making transport in our cities more sustainable - which is a real challenge! I love walking through cities, looking at architecture, reading (especially novels and fantasy) and swimming. I like to cook and bake - sometimes with a glass of wine or gin ;-) I like dancing, especially salsa, and going out for a drink. I am an open person, animal lover and like to meet new people.
