I feel very safe. I walked all day but the rain hunted me. I didn't stay anywhere cause I had only one day. The food was amazing. I saw Piazza Maggiore, Two Towers, a historical library, and the Basilica of San Domenico.
Posted: March 20, 2024Experienced: January, 2024I felt quite safe in Bologna both day and night. I went to a concert and other concert goers were very approachable and kind. We ended up having a really great experience and even went on to the afterparty. The venue security (Arena Puccini) did a great job. Bologna has no shortage of good food and the transport system was easy to navigate - except at night, when we took cabs. It was my third solo trip and it was unforgettable because of the friendships made :)
Posted: December 1, 2023Experienced: May, 2023I don't recommend visiting this city at any price! People do not clean their pet pees on the street and l put my shoes on one of them... terrible! Because the Unibo accepts so many students, there is always lack of room in this city. B&B canceled my booking out of the blue and l did not know what to do. People were not kind of nice in my experience and just wanted to Rip you off as soon as they get that you are a tourist. Just don't go there...

Posted: July 9, 2023Bologna is ideal city for a short city break. It is really lively thanks to many young people studying here. City centre is small and you can see it in a day or two maximum but it is really nice just to stroll around
Posted: June 18, 2023I was in Bologna last week and I absolutely fell in love with it! I recommend going up the Asinelli Tower. The climb is exhausting (~500 steps) but the view is amazing. I also went on a free walking tour, which was really nice. They have amazing food there too, especially the handmade pasta, which you can find everywhere. I visited Bari, Naples, Rome, Florence, Bologna, and Venice in the past few weeks and Bologna was my favorite, right after Bari.

Bologna is a city full of students and young people. Everyday and all night long the city is alive, with an important nitghtlife. For this reason in the street there are many bars and people. It's easy to feel safe and confident.

i think as the other city it depend on the zone you will leave or go; bt of course as being a woman I have never, unfortunately, feel safe anywhere, I often have my red pepper spray. But in bologna sud I have never had problems. In the north yes it’s pretty unsafe walking alone in the dark

Bologna is a wonderful place to spend a long weekend. With its beautiful landscapes and characteristic porticoes, it is a city extremely easy to travel on foot. All the different neighborhoods offer their typical beauties: the city centre with the main Basilica, the University area with cafes and bookshops, the zone nearby the Cineteca (one of the most famous Italian movie centre) and the green and peaceful Giardini Margherita, where having a chat while eating an ice cream is a lovely way to spend a coazy afternoon.

I’ve been living in Bologna my whole life, I’m 24 years old right now and I can luckily say that nothing has ever happened to me. Obviously I try to avoid going solo at night in certain areas of the town outside the center (pilastro, bolognina, and san donato are some of the worst). But a part from that you can easily go solo around the city during the day and also at night. But keep your eyes open at night, you never know 👀
