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.

Tap water:Safe

Tap water in Turin is generally safe to drink. The country has strict water regulations in place, ensuring the water is treated and purified. However, the taste can vary, sometimes leaving a slight chlorine taste due to the treatment process. If that bothers you, consider using a filter or purchasing bottled water instead. It is also common in many cafes for the tap water to be served for free.

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!!

Solo travel experience

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.

About Me

Hey, I’m Kevser an international student currently living in Italy. I recently obtained my bachelor’s and doing a course on IOS development. I’m a little quirky, sarcastic and full of surprises-even for myself-I’d love to show you around in Naples or see it with you as I’m not a local as well. Let’s grab a couple of beers and have a lightweight chat shall we? I’ll travel around Italy looking for friends along the way, piacere.
