Is Rome Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Group travel

Rome was the first place I visited during a month long school trip to Italy, and I’m not sure it was just me getting used to not being home, but it was by far the most unsafe I truly felt the entire time. On my second day there my purse was stolen out of the bottom of my bum bag that i was wearing underneath my coat. all in all i probably wouldn’t go back here as i’ve seen all the attractions now, which are very lovely. The hotel i stayed in was great, very spacious and good food.

Solo travel

I would recommend booking things ahead if you want to enter the attractions, Vatican museums are a must if you are in Rome!! Also, if you are traveling low budget but still want to eat good Italian food, I recommend going to restaurants that are far from the main attractions.

Group travel

We were a group of 6 girls. Rome is a city like an open Museum, we were wondering all day, visiting museums and entering churches. It was a beautiful experience, a lot of walking but totally worth it. We were there only for 4 days so we didn't have the chance to see everything but we saw a lot of things. It has night life and everyone was super fun and friendly. We were staying outside of the city to a camping because we didn't found anything affordable close so it was a little bit difficult in that way but all in all we had a perfect time 💜 totally recommend ☺️

Solo travel

travelling solo in Rome felt safer than other large cities such as Milan or Naples. As long as you are aware of pick-pockets you shouldn’t face any problems, besides the usual cat-calling that you experience everywhere.

Group travel

Is it safe? Yes, but watch out for pickpockets in crowded areas, scams (like “free” bracelets), and be cautious at night, especially around Termini Station. Things to do •Colosseum & Roman Forum – Ancient history must-see. •Vatican City – St. Peter’s, Sistine Chapel, Vatican Museums. •Trevi Fountain – Toss a coin for good luck. •Pantheon – Iconic Roman temple. •Piazza Navona – Lively square with fountains. •Trastevere – Charming streets & nightlife. •Villa Borghese – Beautiful park & gallery.

Solo travel

I felt surprisingly safe! I carried a backpack in metro and in all touristic areas and didn't encounter any problem. The food in Italy is less than ideal, in my humble opinion 😄 i have eaten better ice cream and pasta in my own country than in Italy. If you are a picky eater like me, i suggest keeping to Supermarket food. I stayed in the Mosaic Hostel, which is 10 minutes away from metro Termini. Be aware, Rome has high city tax 🥲 i payed 15 euro (for 3 nights).

Solo travel

Rome is my favorite trip so far. It was the most beautiful city, the people were very friendly and it had plenty of nature and history for lovers of travelling. It was such a beautiful experience, and of course the food was the best!

Solo travel

I felt super safe in Rome (good areas). Hard to meet solo travellers but maybe because I wasn’t in the right mindset at the time to be honest. The city is very lively there is always a lot to do! I absolutely adored my time.

Family travel

My trip to Rome was amazing! Me and my family spent 6 days in Rome visiting the highlights and I must say I felt like I lived there before, like I belong there. Felt home! I visited too many places to remember them all now but everything, the museums, the churches, the farmers market, the streets, the nature, the architecture... All beautiful and special! Did you know there's a pyramid in Rome? I just saw one and couldn't believe my eyes. On my next trip to Rome I will definitely get inside to explore and learn it's history, also I suggest that you go really early to the most famous places like church St. Peter in Vatican, the Colosseum or the Pantheon because the lines are long and it can take time to get in. Also, a good solution is to buy online the tickets so that you don't wait that long in line. Hope it helps see you :)

Unfortunately, this was by far my least favorite vacation location. Everything was too expensive, the food was subpar & inauthentic, and the city was somewhat filthy… The actual historic sites were truly breathtaking, and definitely worth the visit. Personally, I have zero desire to return, but if I went to keep other travelers company, I’d prefer to stay anywhere in Italy outside the city & just pop in when we visit attractions.

To be honest nothing ever happened to me but ı realy dont find this place safe safe. I came from very safe town ın turkey and I always walked safely at night but after there Rome is a big city for me and there is man just randomly screaming and fliritng with you at night. You need to Look touf

Rome is pretty chill overall, although the petty theft is unreal. Esp in areas that are see more traffic by tourists, being robbed is more likely than not. You need to keep your belongings close and eyes open, but I would say it's pretty equal to other major eu cities like Barcelona or Paris
