I can recommend visiting Rome at the end of February. The weather is already around 15 degrees in the afternoon, so it is very pleasant to do the sightseeing. You have to book in advance the visit at the Colosseum, Villa Borghese and Musei Vaticani. You also have to book the restaurant Rifugio Romano! For the rest, improvise.:)

I absolutely loved Rome! There is obviously so much history and so much culture to explore. It can be very touristy, but it is so worth it for the experience of actually being in the Coliseum or the Roman Forum.

Beautiful city with so many amazing historical sites. Very crowded in many places but it’s pretty safe. You have to ask the locals for good restaurants, otherwise it’ll be shitty carbonara all the way

I had heard so many good things about Italy beforehand so my expectations were very high. It was little bit of a letdown for me. It was pretty but not that pretty, the streets were messy and it was extremely hot. We had an amazing and cheap hotel though and some of the attractions were beautiful!

Rome generally felt safe to me. I walk home a lot at night and mostly it's worked out well, just that some parts of the city can be surprisingly dark. Beware of pickpockets in touristic areas during the day and in the termini area risk of getting robbed when walking home after going out.
Posted: April 23, 2026Rome is a safe city overall but very crowded. Make sure to have your phone and wallets always secured. There are a lot of pickpockets around (especially in public transport like the subway). Avoid Termini station and San Lorenzo area at night by yourself.
Posted: April 1, 2026Depends on the neighbourhoods, especially Termini, but Rome is generally safe, in the center, in the subway and inside the buses you need to be careful about pickpockets. During the day is normally safe.

There can be petty crime like pickpockets on metro but in general I feel very safe and never had any issues! I love Rome. The buses and all public transport has never made me feel unsafe. I also work late nights and go home alone at 4am and no issues of feeling unsafe
