Is Rome Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Solo travel

I felt surprisingly safe! I carried a backpack in metro and in all touristic areas and didn't encounter any problem. The food in Italy is less than ideal, in my humble opinion 😄 i have eaten better ice cream and pasta in my own country than in Italy. If you are a picky eater like me, i suggest keeping to Supermarket food. I stayed in the Mosaic Hostel, which is 10 minutes away from metro Termini. Be aware, Rome has high city tax 🥲 i payed 15 euro (for 3 nights).

Solo travel

Rome is my favorite trip so far. It was the most beautiful city, the people were very friendly and it had plenty of nature and history for lovers of travelling. It was such a beautiful experience, and of course the food was the best!

I felt super safe in Rome (good areas). Hard to meet solo travellers but maybe because I wasn’t in the right mindset at the time to be honest. The city is very lively there is always a lot to do! I absolutely adored my time.

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.

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.

I mean, it’s a big city, you cannot expect it to be 100% safe. But for the most part, at daytime you don’t really risk anything. What I would suggest is that if you want to go out at night be sure not to be alone, just for safety.

There are a lot of pickpockets, especially at termini, be safe there and just keep your eyes on your purse But I think that’s it Guys here are aware about boundaries and personal space, so usually if they see that you’re not interested, they will leave you alone
