Is Rome Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Family travel

My trip to Rome was amazing! Me and my family spent 6 days in Rome visiting the highlights and I must say I felt like I lived there before, like I belong there. Felt home! I visited too many places to remember them all now but everything, the museums, the churches, the farmers market, the streets, the nature, the architecture... All beautiful and special! Did you know there's a pyramid in Rome? I just saw one and couldn't believe my eyes. On my next trip to Rome I will definitely get inside to explore and learn it's history, also I suggest that you go really early to the most famous places like church St. Peter in Vatican, the Colosseum or the Pantheon because the lines are long and it can take time to get in. Also, a good solution is to buy online the tickets so that you don't wait that long in line. Hope it helps see you :)

Unfortunately, this was by far my least favorite vacation location. Everything was too expensive, the food was subpar & inauthentic, and the city was somewhat filthy… The actual historic sites were truly breathtaking, and definitely worth the visit. Personally, I have zero desire to return, but if I went to keep other travelers company, I’d prefer to stay anywhere in Italy outside the city & just pop in when we visit attractions.

I recently visited Rome, and it was an incredible experience ✨I felt safe throughout my trip, even when exploring the city late in the evening. For the must-see attractions, I highly recommend the Colosseum, Vatican City, and the Pantheon, and many more… each of them offers a unique glimpse into Rome’s rich history through the lens of it’s breathtaking views. What I may recommend is to skip the superrrr long waits at tourist traps like overcrowded cafes near tourist attractions. Instead, I’d go and enjoy a sip of coffee or gelato in a less touristy neighborhoods like .. Trastevere (?). Food lovers should definitely try carbonara, which is my ultimate fave. Budget-wise, well I’m always looking for the lowest price, so daily i spent around €35-50 (including accommodation with meals) and some entrance fees. I didn’t know about travel ladies back then 😅 I stayed in a cozy place near Piazza Navona, which I loved for its central location and lively atmosphere. Getting around was easy, cause most places are walkable. I took a bus only to bring me to the airport and back, that’s all. Generally for those, who don’t like walking, no worries, everything is affordable. I did historical sights in the morning, breakfast at the BnB, for dinner I went out on the days I didn’t pay much for the attractions. Be ready for a lot of enjoyable walking 🚶‍♀️🚶‍♀️🚶‍♀️ Rome exceeded my expectations, and I can’t wait to return! ✨

Solo travel

My experience in Rome was great. I took some walking tours there using th GuruWalk app and met some solo travelers there as well. I stayed in a hostel, "Destination Rome". It was pretty good, clean, and in a nice location in 10 mins from the central train station. I would recommend buying tickets for the bus from the airport in advance, it's cheaper than the train.

Solo travel

I have been to Rome more then once, but the last time I went by myself for the first time. I felt quite safe in the crowded streets of this iconic city, but I did get catcalled sometimes and one should keep their belongings close. Rome is known for its Piazzas and Fountains, as well as the Colosseum and the Vatican (among other things). I especially love art galleries and museums, so I would recommend the Museo di Roma but also the IKONO Roma. Otherwise you should be aware that this is a very crowded city where a lot of tourists pass through each day, so if you for example want to get close to the Trevi Fountain maybe go in the morning. When you have the opportnuity, visit Rome between December and March, as it is less crowded then. Also enjoy the food, I especially love the new invention of ice cream in sweet bread.:)

Group travel

during my time in rome this summer i mostly felt safe because i wasnt alone but rather with few of my friends and we did not really spend time in unsafe areas, mostly just somewhere around in the coty centre and the experience was really nice,

Group travel

Rome feels relatively safe, but pickpocketing is common in crowded areas, so stay alert on public transport, around Termini Station, and major attractions like the Colosseum or Vatican. Stick to well-lit areas at night and avoid overly isolated spots. During a week in Rome, highlights include the Colosseum, Roman Forum, and Palatine Hill for ancient history lovers. The Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel, and St. Peter’s Basilica are must-visits for art and religious history. Costs for a week depend on your style of travel. Budget travelers can manage €600–€900 with hostels and cheap eats. Rome offers excellent food, history, and vibrant streets, making it a memorable destination.

Solo travel

Felt very safe, of course there were stares as being a woman comes with, but kept my head up and no one bothered me unless I spoke to them. Such a beautiful time to go because of all the Christmas markets and lights up everywhere, and I also really enjoyed the people I met at the hostels I stayed at.

Group travel

I recommend you to book some experience in advance because there are many many people in there. Also, is good to just walk around the city for move yourself from a place to another. The city is just beautiful. You can feel quite safe but anyway pay attention, there are many tourists 🤷🏻‍♀️

Family travel

We had a great family time. We went to Vatican City, which was a great experience for my mom. We needed to rent a car, so it was really safe and comfy for us since we heard the train wasn't that safe. Best decision ever—we were able to travel to other places in Italy.

Rome but basically all big Italian cities are not really safe right now, too many male people don't have enough brain to know when doing something is not okay. If you stay with a friend, everything is okay, no worries

It really depends on who you go out with and where . Roma nord is pretty rich and safe with lots of security etc.. In the south of rome there are people with less money so some people consider it more dangerous Stuff like drugs and crime in general is everywhere in the city, just like in every city, it's simply fancier the closer you get to the centre. Honestly the security in rome is pretty average, not the best but also not the worst. Definitely better then Milano.
