How safe is Turin?

Safety at night:Safe

Turin is generally safe to wander at night. It's a city that holds a friendly atmosphere, thanks to its low crime rate. It's recommended to keep vigilant in crowded areas, as pickpocket incidents have been reported. But, typically, streets are well-lit and there's usually a good police presence in more populated spots. While those areas are quite safe, it's best to avoid any secluded or poorly-lit areas at night as a solo traveler. Always remember to trust your intuition and stay within public areas while exploring the beauty of Turin.

Public transportation:Safe

Public transportation in Turin is generally safe for solo female travelers. Being a major city, Turin has a well-established and efficient system of buses, trams, and a metro line. It is regularly used by locals as well as tourists, and day times are especially secure with heavy footfall. Night times are slightly less crowded and may warrant some caution, mostly because of occasional instances of petty theft. However, violent crimes are rare. Always remain alert and mindful of your belongings.

Street harassment:Low

Turin exhibits a generally safe and respectful environment. Street harassment does occur, but it is relatively infrequent. Women can typically journey through the city, enjoying its incredible art, culture, and cuisine without experiencing unwelcome attention or disrespectful behavior. However, it is always essential to remain vigilant, aware of one’s surroundings, and adopt safety precautions – key for travel anywhere.

Petty crimes:Low

Turin is generally a very safe city to visit, even for women traveling alone. Petty crimes such as pickpocketing or bag-snatching do occur, especially in crowded areas or on public transportation, but they are not very common. Many locals and visitors alike feel very safe walking around both day and night. However, like any big city, being aware of your surroundings and keeping your belongings close to you can help prevent becoming a victim of such crimes.

Turin has been welcoming me and my dog Almond with warmth hugs! Greeted by the sunset on our arrival day and meeting lovely new friends/sisters in the city. The city is definitely beyooond dog friendly and its coming from us who lives in Berlin that is also considered dog friendly city! Food has been amazing and people has been really kind and heart-warming.

Turin is awesome! One of the more affordable cities to visit, with a super creative vibe. There’s tons of live music, jazz, and open mic nights! Also the food is great. Typical for the area, bagna cauda is a must try!!

It was really relaxing and I had so much with my friends. I went there for only 2 days but even that was enough to see the well known places. The food was amazing and delicious also you can go anywhere by foot plus the subway is too easy to use.

From my POV, Turin is quite a safe city during the day. Around the city center and in many neighborhoods such as Crocetta or San Donato, I would say it is safe at night as well. However, there are some parts of the city that is better to avoid like any city. I’ve heard stories of robbery, sexual harassment, and aggressions during the day/night especially in the Barriera di Milano neighborhood. This starts from Corso Giulio Cesare. Some say Aurora neighborhood is also to avoid, but it really depends from street to street. It is known to be a place where you may see addicts regroup, especially close to the Dora river. Porta Palazzo is also in Aurora, but while it might seem a bit dangerous, the area has improved dramatically in the last few years. I’ve been living around Piazza della Repubblica for years now and I feel safe, it’s just a multicultural environment: nothing new to experienced travelers.

it depends on where you are. I was only in the city in busy areas, so I felt really safe. just be aware that Italians are more social and loud and contact friendly, so they may start talking to you, but I haven't experienced it to be bad intended
