Is Rome Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Family travel

We all absolutely loved Rome! We were unsure going into it because of how much negatives you see about Rome, but we had the best time. We felt safe, the food was great, and the weather in February was amazing. We all do extensive research and made sure to avoid tourist traps, so maybe that’s why we had the best time!

It was a very nice experience but I did not feel safe and secure to walk alone at night. Maybe in the center yes but not in other areas. I enjoyes visitig different places and found beautiful parks around.

I went to Rome by train. Stayed at my boyfriend's. We went to the city centre for a drink, saw the Colosseum. It was very hot and full of tourists. At least there are fountains to fill the bottle of water

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.

Rome is generally quite safe during the day, but it's very common to be catcalled or harassed during the night, so preferably always stay with a friend or two. To avoid centocelle or ex-mattatoio area at night.

I spent a few months in Rome, and maybe I was lucky to not experience anything bad happening there. Other than stares from men and some cat calls I didn’t experience any problems. And no matter the stares I wasn’t afraid, no one ever tried to do anything. Pit pocketing is a big thing in Rome in the big metro or bus stations but most people call out when they notice a pick pocketer so that was also okay. I never had anything stolen. And I know they say Termini is the most unsafe place, and it is pretty bad but at least there are cops 24/7. The metro stop Vittorio Emanuele is even scarier
