Is Rome safe for solo female travelers?

Rome is generally a safe city for solo female travelers. Street crime such as pickpocketing and bag snatchings can occur, particularly in tourist areas, so it's essential to stay vigilant and keep your belongings secure. Public transportation and tourist sites can be crowded, which may attract petty thieves. While walking around, stick to well-populated areas, especially at night. Like any other city globally, it requires a general level of caution, but overall, Rome’s friendly and warm atmosphere makes it comfortable for solo female travelers.

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!

The best place in Europę for me!! Beautiful old town, Coloseum, i felt everything from the past. Except that i love this food and people who are very funny and talkative. I also was in the club and had a great time !!

not that safe, but don’t sacrifice your life! be a little careful & in groups (2 or 3 is also fine). most of the “dangerous subjects” here are addicts, in case of approach be very clear and don’t fear, but watch out and in case of danger run or scream. the centre of the town is most safe at night. termini is not as dangerous as one might think

Not much safe, expecially on public transport is not rare to hear about aggressions and also baby gangs are to be watched out from. You can walk in the streets at night, but being EXTREMELY cautious, because there are always dark people around, better to be in 2 or a group 👍🏻

Pretty safe, but if you’re travelling alone, have a fake ring to discourage random men from approaching you. Most italian men are respectful, it’s the others to be careful of. People will come up to you asking for direction, trying to tell you things - it could be a scam or a pickpocket (especially young girls).

Hey you! So I’m originally Dutch but I’ve lived all over the latin-speaking world. After seeing a bunch of places I’ve noticed that in the end its the people you meet that make the travel worth it. (Yes i know how much of a cliche that sounded like) So if you need a place to stay i might be abled to help you. Lemme know
