Is Pisa Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Couple travel

The museums and torres are wonderful and there is a high selection of bars and cafes which aren't too expensive and fairly reasonably priced. However, most of the entertainment is based on history so there is not loads for party-lovers

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...

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.

Pisa is a historic town, I didn't experience any other activities apart from looking at the Pisa tower and eating at nearby restaurants. I also visited other cities like Venice during the same trip which offered much more like glass making workshops, gandola rides etc. Also, I got mugged there as someone stole my wallet from by bagpack eventhough it was on my back all the time, till this day I fail to understand how they did it!

I made a quick stop for one night in Pisa while I was on my way to Genova and I loved it. The city is not so big so I easily managed to see most of it in one day. There’s a lot of tourists and people in the street so is pretty safe, but obviously I was always keeping an eye around me. The ticket to visit all the monuments and museums costs €27 and you can use it the hole day, it’s a nice activity for women who travels solo. I stayed in Safe Stay Hostel, staff is super nice and kind, and the...

I felt safe. Pisa is overall one of the most safe towns I visited alone. Local food is great and it is not very expensive. People are polite and helpful. Streets are clean. The airport is very close to the city centre.

The museum and the Duomo in the cathedral square are charming. I also really liked the botanical gardens. But besides that, I didn't find much to do there. It's definitely worth a visit, I felt very safe there. I recommend staying in Florence and taking a day trip to Pisa.

I have been living in Pisa for three years now, and I would say it is generally a safe city. Nothing has ever happened to me personally, so I feel comfortable living here. However, near the train station and Piazza Garibaldi, it can feel less safe, especially at night when you are alone. But overall, I would say it is similar to many other cities in that sense.

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...

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.
