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.

The city is definitely beyooond dog friendly and its coming from us who lives in Berlin that is also considered dog friendly city!

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 is safe during day but there are some parts of the town you should be careful. A predominantly immigrant population lives in these regions. But the city center is gorgeous. If you want to travel torino, I higly recommend to stay around city center. Also you should know that public transportation is ended after midnight and starts at 5 a.m

My evaluation mostly applies to the city centre and residential areas, which are perfectly safe to enjoy even alone, even after dark. Steer clear of the outskirts tho, especially Barriera di Milano, there's nothing to see there anyways
