Yes, Venice is a safe city to explore if you're travelling alone. Whether you're young, old, male or a female solo traveller, in Venice you'll never feel unsafe. The crime rate is low and even moving around on foot in the evening shouldn't concern you. This doesn't mean that you shouldn't take the usual precautions.

Yes, it is very safe to visit Venice in February 2026, though "safety" in Venice is more about navigating environmental conditions and crowds rather than crime. The city has extremely low violent crime rates, and the primary concerns for tourists are petty pickpocketing in high-traffic areas like the Rialto Bridge or St. Mark's Square. Environmental safety involves Acqua Alta (high tide flooding); while the MOSE barrier system now successfully protects the city from major floods, some minor puddling can still occur in low-lying areas during exceptionally high tides. February is also the peak of the Venice Carnival (Carnevale), meaning the city is incredibly crowded. Travelers should be mindful of the physical safety of walking on narrow, slick bridges and the "overcrowding" at major transport hubs. The city remains one of the safest destinations in Europe for solo travelers and families, provided you stay aware of your surroundings in the dense crowds and follow the local "Venezia Unica" guidelines for sustainable tourism.
