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.

Solo travel

Turin is worth a visit for a the weekend and also has some good places for food. You can easily get around by foot as the main attractions are all in the center. Better to buy the entry tickets for museuns in advance as some exhibitions are easily sold out. Also make reservations for restaurants, especially if you do not travel alone as most tables are booked in advance.

There is lots of interesting museums in Turin, you should definitely visit the royal museum and Egypt museum, if you have time the cinema museum is a nice addition and depending on the exhibitions could be really interesting. Don't go more north than Dora river thos its not safe, especially during the night

I feel safe in Turin. I was with Freire and we enjoy a few nights out. There’s no pickpocket as Rome or other big cities. The food was great and so cheap! You just try all kinds of pizza. Also for a cinema lover you must go to the Molle Antonella is heaven!

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.

Turin is overall safe. There are some areas that may feel uncomfortable but, since I start living here (2016) it never happen nothing to me. Although it’s better to ride a bike and be careful by nighttime. It’s important to check your personal stuff when there are crowds (expecially the beautiful open market in porta palazzo). That is due to the growing gentrification and racial politics that make for some categories hard to survive.

I think that overall Turin is a safe city but the people in every city are the problem. I don't want to go out alone at night in Turin anyway. Expecially if you go maybe in Friday or Saturday night alone or with your friends in a place where there are "strange" person
