Is Turin safe for solo female travelers?

Turin generally boasts of a relatively safe environment for solo female travelers. Though it is always wise to exert caution and adhere to basic safety procedures, instances of serious criminal activities are unusual. It is a wonderfully modern city with a rich history and friendly locals. Just ensure to avoid deserted places late at night and be aware of your surroundings.

Loved Turin, loved the castle and the gardens easily one of the most interesting places I have ever visited. The transport was easy to figure out and the people are nice. Alba, a small town not far from it is absolutely gorgeous, full of vineyards and good wine (Borolo).

Group travel

I went to Turin with my sister for two days, we came by BlaBlaCar (carpooling) and came back by night bus (be careful, the buses station for night are NOT at the train station, we nearly missed our bus because we made the mistake, we had to run for our lives to get to the correct location, we ran for 15 minutes to get there cause buses late at night are not punctual so we could not get a bus to get to our night bus) We slept at a kind of hotel with shared bathroom, it was quite safe and well...

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.

Very safe city in the center, however, there are a few districts needs to be avoided. Aurora and Milan Barriera are the most dangerous neighborhoods. However, Parco del Valentino and some parts of San Salvario are also dangerous at night.

Safe and peaceful during the day, but do keep an eye out in areas like Barriera Di Milano, Aurora, Porto Palazzo and Porto Nuova late at night. When visiting local markets like Porto Palazzo, make sure to be mindful of your belongings as you go.

It’s like a normal big city. The re are places with more criminality but unless you go there on purpose you can stay easy. Difficult places: Barriera di Milano, Aurora, Borgo Vittoria, Porta Palazzo (evening ok and cute but not too late), and of course the train stations (there is always people and it’s not so frequent criminality but it’s a suggestion for all cities)
