✅ Is Rome Safe for Tourists?
- Yes, Rome is considered safe for tourists.
- Violent crime is extremely rare in tourist areas.
- The main risk is petty theft, like pickpocketing, especially in crowded spots.
👛 1. Watch Out for Pickpockets
- Most common in the metro, buses, major attractions (Colosseum, Vatican), and Termini Station
- They often work in teams, especially near crowded entrances and exits
- Keep your bag in front of you, zip it closed, and avoid distractions
🧠 2. Be Aware of Common Scams
- Friendship bracelet scam – someone ties a bracelet on you and demands payment
- Fake petitions or clipboard people – often used to distract you
- “Dropped ring” scam – someone pretends to find a ring and offers to sell it
- Just say no and walk away politely but firmly
🧳 3. Stay Alert at Termini Station
- Rome’s central train station is safe but chaotic
- Keep valuables hidden, and be extra aware at ATMs or when navigating escalators
- Watch your luggage closely — even for a few seconds of distraction
🚇 4. Use Public Transport Safely
- Avoid flashing phones or wallets in crowded metro cars
- Be cautious boarding buses, especially during rush hour
- Late-night travel is generally safe, but ride with others if possible
