Rome, Italy
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.
A residential neighborhood near Vatican City. Wide tree-lined streets, upscale shops, and good restaurants. It's cleaner and quieter than the historic center. Being close to St. Peter's Basilica means you can visit the Vatican early before the crowds arrive. This is where Romans actually live, not just where tourists stay.

Areas with comparable safety profiles for solo female travelers
Steps from the Colosseum but maintains a local, neighborhood feel. It's safe and stylish with good restaurants and vintage shopping. People dress fashionably here and the area has a more sophisticated vibe than other central neighborhoods.
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.
