Is Pisa safe for solo female travelers?

Solo travel

I went in Pisa in April 2025 for an ERASMUS exchange. I felt safe in Pisa, even at night. I would recommend to people visiting Pisa to visit la piazza delle vettovaglie at night, especially on Saturday’s because there is a lot of local here and they were very kind to me. I also recommend you to go on the street foods shops next to the liceo carducci, the food is delicious.

It was quite safe but there were people trying to stop you on the road to make you buy something and if you don't look ahead and walk away they kinda bother you. Other than that it's generally safe as long as you stay on the main roads, until midnight I as a solo traveller felt quite safe although most of the restaurants close by 9-10 so it's a bit too quiet and if you don't like it it may come off as eerie

Went to Pisa to see a long distance friend of mine, i had already been there with my family when i was younger, i remember the main place (where the leaning tower is) was really busy with tourists and the bars near there were expensive, but if you stay for the night and go to the city center (10 min walk from the tower) you will find lots of shops, ice cream bars, etc. There are many many university students from all over italy and they usually all meet up in these bars. I felt safe with my friends both during the day and night, some creepy drunk men at very late night but just dont go near them… overall tho a very beautiful city!!

I found it to be a moderately safe city. The city was quite clean and well-maintained. Having a coffee in front of the tower was a delightful experience. It's a smaller city, easy to navigate. Overall, I enjoyed my time there.

I always walk alone, also at night and also drunk, never had any problems. It can happen that someone stops you to talk to you, but it never happened to me when alone. Still, remember that we're in Italy and not in some Scandinavian village :)

Pisa is a small university town, I feel pretty safe but I grew up here and I know it as my pockets so this is just my experience. Mostly there’s young people/students and tourists. Some squares can feel a little bit unsafe I think mostly because of drunk men but I think overall nothing compared to a big city.

Pisa is overall a safe city. The public transportation is safe (both busses and trains), my only ever unsafe experience was a few months ago on a train when two guys started taking pictures of me, I reported them and the conductor made them leave. I would advise you to be careful during late hours around the train stations (especially stazione centrale), just for safety (it's regarded as the worst neighborhood but it's not that bad tbh). Also, look out for pickpockets!!! Especially near the train station San Rossore, there are a few women who will always try to get in the elevators or will bring umbrellas to create chaos and grab whatever they can from your purses. Aside from that Pisa is overall a pretty safe city, I'm a 20yo girl and I never had any problem. There is no transport during the night but you can rent bicycles, scooters and Pisa is pretty small so you can literally walk anywhere.

Overall Pisa is not a dangerous city. It’s lived mostly by university students and young people, so it’s quite calm and you can walk at night alone without worrying that much, but of course you always have to be a little bit careful especially in places like the train station.

Pisa is not that dangerous but there are some areas that need a little more attention. In the city center you should be safe, near the train station maybe a girl shouldn't walk alone. In the daylight I think it's safe everywhere, maybe some areas just a bit of catcalling but nothing serious.
