Areas with comparable safety profiles for solo female travelers
Consistently rated as one of Rome's safest neighborhoods. The streets are wider and better lit than the historic center. It's more residential and less chaotic, with good restaurants but fewer bars and nightlife options. Popular with families and older travelers.
The most central and safe option if you prioritize convenience over authenticity. Constant activity and police presence. Everything costs more here, especially near Piazza Navona. If you value easy access to major sites and don't mind tourist crowds, this works well.
Popular with people traveling alone because there's always something happening and it's easy to meet others. The constant activity makes walking home at night feel safer than quieter neighborhoods. The cobblestones can be rough on your feet after a long day.
