It was beautiful in Rome but you have to be careful with your belongings. Food was delicious and I loved Italian cuisine. You must see the Colosseum, the Trevi Fountain, especially at night, the Pantheon, St. Peter’s Basilica, and the Roman Forum. They are all worth visiting.

I was in Rome on a language course I’ve met a lot of great people. I felt pretty safe there even at night. I’ve heard a lot about pickpockets but thankfully I didn’t had the chance to meet them haha and so did my friends so in my opinion it’s not that common but ofc you need to watch your stuff. The city is very walkable everything is near each other so from one attraction you can walk to another and if not you need to take a bus but busses have their own schedules there so I hope you won’t...

After travelling all around Italy for almost a year I decided to see Rome. I got absolutely disappointed. To me it's the least Italian city I've ever been to, a huge amusement park for tourists. Those magnificent monuments and churches don't impress after you've lived in Florence and Palermo, overpriced everything and crowds are not justified by anything. I would not recommend staying there for more than 2 days. I didn't get pickpocketed or scammed because of previous experiences that taught me...

Amazing city!!! I loved it ! Book the coliseum for early in the morning and then the other visits for later (Forum and Pal..) so you'll enjoy them with plenty of time. Go to the restroom in each place you visit because there are no public bathrooms. Book the Vatican museum for early morning ..there is a lot to see and enjoy, not only the sixteen chapel. Walk the city.. it will surprise you

I can recommend visiting Rome at the end of February. The weather is already around 15 degrees in the afternoon, so it is very pleasant to do the sightseeing. You have to book in advance the visit at the Colosseum, Villa Borghese and Musei Vaticani. You also have to book the restaurant Rifugio Romano! For the rest, improvise.:)
Posted: March 18, 2026Experienced: January, 2026I absolutely loved Rome! There is obviously so much history and so much culture to explore. It can be very touristy, but it is so worth it for the experience of actually being in the Coliseum or the Roman Forum.
Posted: February 12, 2026Beautiful city with so many amazing historical sites. Very crowded in many places but it’s pretty safe. You have to ask the locals for good restaurants, otherwise it’ll be shitty carbonara all the way

I had heard so many good things about Italy beforehand so my expectations were very high. It was little bit of a letdown for me. It was pretty but not that pretty, the streets were messy and it was extremely hot. We had an amazing and cheap hotel though and some of the attractions were beautiful!

Travelled with fam and friends. Stayed centrally but also spent some time in Trastevere. The city is like one big archeological site. Looking forward to visiting again in the future with just the fam.

By choosing the right areas, Rome is very safe. You can go alone without worries, especially in the Rome city center, Rome west, and Rome north areas. If traveling alone, I would avoid Rome east and all areas near the GRA.
Posted: August 1, 2026Roma is a safe city when you visit it the day. There is a lot of people and it's quite touristic. Be careful when you go next to the station Termini with your luggage :) I didn't experience Roma by night but I'm pretty sure that the central zone is safe but you have to be very careful if you are next to Termini station.
Posted: July 20, 2026you have to be careful with pickpockets especially on public transport, at night I advise girls to avoid walking around alone. Especially near the stations (Termini and Tiburtina) I advise not to stop for too long and avoid little crowded places, despite the police I always feel unsafe

I even was able to use public transpor alone at 4 a.m. after the club. I felt safe and had alot fun in the city. The people were kind and helpful. I miss their helpful energy. Will definitely go again
Posted: June 12, 2026Kinda unsafe, I got sexually harassed by creep in the street, he was jerking off on me while walking and i just freaked out and couldn’t do anything, I was freeze. I told him I’m gonna call police but he didn’t give a shit and just continue doing his disgusting stuff

Rome generally felt safe to me. I walk home a lot at night and mostly it's worked out well, just that some parts of the city can be surprisingly dark. Beware of pickpockets in touristic areas during the day and in the termini area risk of getting robbed when walking home after going out.

It's Gaia from Italy, Naples but currently living in Rome. I am an extremely curious person, always in search of new experiences to fully enjoy this life. I like to take long walks around the city or in green areas.
