I loved exploring Rome at night!

    Rome is very safe at night and a lot of people are always out and about. Hard to think of a more evocative city at night under the flood lights.

    Had a teenage girl try to snatch my phone. It’s not a cartel neighborhood, but it’s also not “very safe”.

    It's far from very safe.

    Depends on what you’re comparing it to.

    I suppose if you compare it to any American city Rome is extremely safe.

    Also probably safer than British cities

    Any American city? Hardly. I’m from Boston and have been to Rome over a dozen times. Boston is foolishly safe. I’ve found the same about Rome.

    You do realize the rest of the world, including 'poor places' like Peru think the US is dangerous because of our gun problem, right?

    The fact that Italy is viewed as dangerous by Europeans because of its pickpocketing problem speaks volumes about the bullshit Americans have been conditioned to accept as normal.

    That's a shitty comparison. San franciso is extremely safe if you compare it to Mogadishu by that logic.

    San Francisco has extremely low rates of violent/gun crime compared to most American cities.

    Lol what, I was in Rome a week ago and it was full of police driving around, tourists having night walks and the city stayed busy until the morning hours.

    It’s extremely dangerous. Rome is full of pickpockets, all it takes is turning the wrong corner and you’ll suddenly find yourself with nothing.

    I repeat: be very, very careful during the night.

    But pickpockets … we’re not talking about violence, right ?

    They look for the path of least resistance. Keep your valuables in a crossbody in front of you and you’ll be perfectly fine.

    Dude I saw more pickpocketing during the day than at night, but as long as your valuables are hidden and well secured, you're ok. Also pickpocketing doesn't make the city "dangerous".
