Rome - Post Report Question and Answers

Do you feel that it is safe to walk, run or hike outside? Are there areas where bike riding is possible? What is the availability and safety of outdoor space for exercising? Are these easily accessible?

Yes. Absolutely safe where we lived (parioli) any time of night. There was definitely petty crime, especially in heavy tourist areas, but nothing unexpected for a major city. - Sep 2025


Totally safe for most housing areas. I've walked home in the dusk/dark through Villa Borghese and it's lit up well enough/has enough people that it's not an issue. Many locals use the electric bikes and scooters (Dott, Lime, Bird, etc...). - Aug 2024
