Are the streets of Rome safe at night?

While particular areas have a negative reputation, the risk of violent crimes is very low. The majority of crime in Rome is petty crime such as pickpocketing, scams or theft. Even at night, Rome's a hub of social activity, and night buses get you home safely after you enjoy Rome's nightlife.

Taxis are a great resource in Rome. While not cheap, they are excellent to get from the airport to your hotel easily, fantastic to get home safely at night and a great way to get around if you have small kids or mobility issues.

The best way to get around Rome is on foot. And because many of the best attractions are clustered together in traffic-free zones, walking makes the most sense. However, some places, like Vatican City, are pretty far from the central historic district, necessitating the use of the metro or a taxi.

The metro is generally safe at any time you use it. However, it's important to keep in mind that Rome is a very touristic city and that leads to pickpocketing. You should take some general precautions to avoid this wherever you are, like being a little more aware of your surroundings.

Rome: Anywhere in “central” Rome is safe. Prati is known to be the safest area of Rome, and it is residential to many affluent Roman families. Hotels and apartments near the Vatican, Pantheon, Campo de' Fiori, and Piazza Navona are in ideal, safe locations as well.

From a safety perspective, in short, you should avoid being out alone near the Termini station area at night. You should also avoid attempts from strangers who talk at you as you walk by. This might happen in the areas around the colosseum.

Practice common sense precautions (don't cut through a large park after dusk, walk in well-lit places where there are other people out and about, etc.) Trevi Fountain at night will be fine, albeit as MomCat noted, crowded. I like to go a 6 am on a Sunday, that's when it seems to be the quietest there.

Always beware of pickpockets, especially when travelling on buses, metros and public transport, but also when in line for something and when shopping in crowded places. Some bus lines are especially famous for the high number of robberies that happen there every day. For example, the 64 line is one of them.
