Is Rome Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

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.

Family travel

Generally speaking it is a safe place, although I've heard that there are many pickpockets. I recommend avoiding the tourist attraction for example instead of waiting to see the Trevi fountain go to the underground fountain. Also for me it is a must to visit the art galleries like Galleria Borghese, Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Moderna e Contemporanea, Galleria Doria Pamphilj, Galleria Colonna. For food I recommend going to Trastevere it is really amazing. But also please visit AMALFI MADRE that is Via dei Gracchi, it has amazing food and the people working there are really nice and if you want a good panino, right across Amalfi Madre is a place called Panino Divino the food there was heavenly.

Solo travel

Overall i felt very safe during daytime specially in touristic zones. I would recomend to try to avoid the underground in the evening and at night specially as a solo female traveller. I would also not recomend to walk around the central train station (Roma termini) on your own during nightime.

Last year I did an Erasmus in Florence, Italy I had already been to Rome but i loved it so much that i wanted to spend another few days there I was my first solo trip I booked a bed in a hostel And there i met girls and we spent a evening together drinkinh wine and eating pasta 🍝 We didn‘t have the same political opinions but it still was a great evening haha !

I went to Rome on a solo day trip and I had so much fun! Definitely would go again and stay for longer because I couldn’t see everything in one day. Things weren’t too expensive if you know where to go. Gelato was delicious.

i did feel safe but not too much food was very yummy a lot of people too crowded sometimes but its ok i think i'll go back when i have the time or chance,bought a lot of souvenirs and gifts for friends

Rome is not such a safe city, however in the center of the city there's often police or military so this can help feel safer. But it is really important to keep your eyes open all the time and especially in public transports keep your distance from strangers! In the external areas/suburbs it really depends on the area, some are quite safe other dangerous.

I'd say it's pretty safe. I had one occurence in the crowded metro, where some man was eyeing my bag which was unpleasant, however, luckily nothing happened. Other than that people were really nice and friendly so I didn't feel unsafe or threatened. I'd stay away from metro and Termini during night though.
