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.

I felt very safe in Turin. During the day, it’s easy to walk around and explore and even at night I felt comfortable especially in busy areas. Some must-see spots are the Mole Antonelliana, the Egyptian Museum, and Piazza Castello. Turin is pretty affordable compared to other major Italian cities. I stayed at Hotel Nizza, which is located in a great central area, close to major attractions and the train station. The hotel was clean, comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the room was perfect for a short stay. It was a budget-friendly option, making it a good choice for anyone looking to explore the city without spending too much on accommodation.

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.

It depends a lot on the neighborhood you're in. I think the safest zones are in the ovest side (like Crocetta, borgo san paolo, pozzo strada), and the worst are on the Nord, from Porta Palazzo on (like Aurora, Milan Barrier). San Salvario is a zone where you can have fun with friends, but I don't recommend walking alone at night in all the streets...

Depends on the zone it can be a little bit scary. If you are a women, nights can be a little bit scary when walking alone, but unfortunately I believe is a universal feeling, it happens in most of the countries.

Hi, I’m Abi, I have two daughters and I am a solo mum. I work in jewellery manufacturing but in my free time I like to practice aerial hoop and gymnastics for fun. When I am in my short bursts without the children I am interested in solo travel to explore the world just one day at a time. I have been learning Italian and once I’ve conquered that I hope to learn more languages!

About Me

Happy to meet up for a coffee, to explore the non-touristiy places, see the beautiful and the ugly side of a city and have some meaningful conversations. I like galleries and street art. I try not to take myself too serious and to make this world a better place as often as I can.
