Is Rome Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Family travel

Rome is definitely a pearl of history. There is a lot of delicious food there. If you like good coffee, then look for specialty coffee on the map of any city. I drank in the Roman “Faro” (name of coffee place). I liked everything. Every corner of the city is like a piece of architecture, but at the same time watch your wallets. I will say about my experience this way... Rome once and... that's enough) I know that many will disagree with me, but I liked the colorful Naples and cozy Bari more.

During my trip to Rome i felt safe I'd say. Never really thought too much about it, because the people were so nice and friendly. I only had one unpleasant occurence in the crowded metro, so I'd stay away from it during night and be extra careful with my belongings and surroundings. Other than that, everything else felt safe enough. Once you get a hold of how metro and Termini station work, it can be really handy. Rome is a walkable place, so you won't need transportation all the time which I liked. Keep in mind that Rome is on the expensive side though. You will spend some good money there. Locals are always ready to help, which I liked the most during my trip!

Solo travel

Loved Rome so much! I booked spontaneously and went with an accom near the train station which was great. I personally felt safe in the area and loved how walkable Rome as a city was. As there were always tourists even at night I felt safe on the streets. Of course there were alot of reminders to be careful about pickpockets so I just had a money belt and kept my phone in my Uniqlo bag and felt fine! Would recommend for a solo female and to stay central near the town/main attractions.

Generally speaking it is a safe place, although I've heard that there are many pickpockets. I recommend avoiding the tourist attraction for example instead of waiting to see the Trevi fountain go to the underground fountain. Also for me it is a must to visit the art galleries like Galleria Borghese, Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Moderna e Contemporanea, Galleria Doria Pamphilj, Galleria Colonna. For food I recommend going to Trastevere it is really amazing. But also please visit AMALFI MADRE that is Via dei Gracchi, it has amazing food and the people working there are really nice and if you want a good panino, right across Amalfi Madre is a place called Panino Divino the food there was heavenly.

Solo travel

Overall i felt very safe during daytime specially in touristic zones. I would recomend to try to avoid the underground in the evening and at night specially as a solo female traveller. I would also not recomend to walk around the central train station (Roma termini) on your own during nightime.

Solo travel

Last year I did an Erasmus in Florence, Italy I had already been to Rome but i loved it so much that i wanted to spend another few days there I was my first solo trip I booked a bed in a hostel And there i met girls and we spent a evening together drinkinh wine and eating pasta 🍝 We didn‘t have the same political opinions but it still was a great evening haha !

Considering that Rome is an enormous city, safety really depends on where you're staying. The center of the city is fairly safe for women (as any place can be), some periferic neighborhoods can be more dangerous. If you're alone, I would advise to take a LIME (electric bike service) to be safer.

It depends on the area that you are in, some areas are a bit risky than the others, overall we are in the capital so it's not that much risky but there are a lot of different people and especially at night everything is possible. I always prefer to be with someone.
