Trieste is a pretty safe city. It is small, cozy and quiet so rarely you will hear about serious crimes. The most unfortunate thing happened to me was when my umbrella was stolen during the rainy season:)

I have been living here for two years as a student and I must say that overall I felt very safe. Never experienced any catcall even. I live far from the city centre but I have always felt safe walking home alone in the dark.
