First tip, as a female solo traveler, don’t plan arrivals for nighttime. In Italy, I travel early in the morning with business travelers and don’t bother bringing sentimental or fancy bags along.

This is fantastic, thank you. Lots of great ideas I wouldn’t have thought of that are applicable to any travel situation. Thank you.

come on guys the Central Station of Milan is not MORE dangerous that any other train station at night.

The most unsafe I ever felt in my life was being at the central bus station in Hamburg, Germany, at an unholy hour. I feel like anyone who has been there can approve

For the men here , please be careful as well. Don’t have a false sense of security. You are not any safer as a man - even a large one - and statistically you are even more likely to be targeted. Fewer people will even care and help a man being harmed. Criminals know this, and criminals want the easiest prey. So EVERYONE be careful and alert so you can enjoy your travels to the fullest.

The problem is that there are no Milanese but only foreign immigrants

same in Paris, now is a jungle with dangerous animals

It's pity because it's a wonderful train station.

Milan here If you walked the other way, in 100 meters you would bump into a 24/7 taxi hub. No Need to wait for the taxi, they're already there

An African guy pulled a knife at me & my son early hours in the morning, when going back to the airport. We we're going to catch the bus by the food market next to the train station. He was shouting out loud like he was crazy or high on something. Loads of pickpockets as well. Nearly got robbed by a Romanian gang on the metro.

I'm Italian and everything you said is true and am very sorry for this. Yes it is not safe, so be very careful guys and this advice is for everyone.

In Europe it’s always the train station.

If you go to the side of the station there is a taxi stand in front of the Central Market. It is well lit, full of people, and there are almost always taxis there. This may be easier than walking to a hotel and waiting.

thanks to EU for letting in the people that make it unsafe

Love Milan was there for the fourth time last spring, and a gypsy was pretending to be mute and stole my phone off the table. Be very careful, leaving your phone on a table.

No no they're not strange,they are illegal immigrants nord african in particular

It's true. I know someone who was mugged at 5am trying to catch a cheap train. Smh Wait until the daylight to travel, Especially women. Stay alert, safe and smart.

I am Italian and I have traveled to Milan by train many times and yes, it can be dangerous, not only the station, the train itself is not safe, try to avoid traveling in the dark and if you must, look for carriages with other friendly people and avoid traveling alone.

I live in Italy and lived 20mins from Milan. Agree in 100% Milano is a very dangerous place, don't wear bags, jewellery on you. Don't go alone at night. Be ultra careful at the central station and don't travel alone on the night/evening trains (women SAed on regional trains, in fact they even say in the train to sit as close as possible to the head of the train - even the workers on trains are afraid and they don't control tickets so be careful). And absolutely stay away from the McDonald's near the stain station - especially at night. Don't withdraw money at the atm near or inside the station you can be attacted by one of the many homeless immigrants that sleep in from of the station.

I can confirm this. Milan central station is super scary, it felt unsafe and no police insight. There are sooooo many people loitering (mostly lot of men). Some are immigrants.

if Milan Central is dangerous Los Angeles, Detroit, Philadelphia etc.. full of criminals and drug-addicted zombies, what are they?

Milan after this video became the Bronx of NYC 💀💀

As an italian, i can say that the central station in Milan, is the scariest thing i've ever been to

Just came back from Spain I thought it was amazing. What a wonderful place of Europe. I’m visiting Italy next. I didn’t know Milan was like this interesting.

Not only in Milan, in many places this is the situation. Thanks for making aware.

Except the weird door guys at the hotels nearby say scary things to you which made us move on quickly. Also two taxi drivers started to argue over our bags and started to pull them between them into different cars. You can’t be too careful

Sad but true,i was Born in Milan 51 years ago and the station Is a danger zone from Always. It's a historical problem for every italian big city.

When i was in milan station at nite a young man from Bari italy would not leave ne alone until morning.he protected me.

I once picked up a tail in the evening in Padova, some troublesome youth, I don't look anything like an Italian, so it was easy for them to single me out. Was heading to the train station, and once I noticed the tail, didn't panic, but crossed a few streets while the traffic was in full swing to get some distance from them. Carried on to the train station, stopped by the entrance, lit up a cigarette and waved to them. Terror level was heightened, so all bigger stations had local police + military stationed by the entrance and I knew they wouldn't have the balls to follow me there

Milan and Roma termini is filled with pickpockets., I would personally advice not to take metro in italy., it’s filled with pickpockets guys.. be safe and be cautious of your surroundings Always avoid crowded place Please

As an Italian, this is also true for the central station of Rome. And you would never guess the ethnicity of the average "weird" person loitering and looking for a victim! Tip: they are usually not scandinavian

Try to understand - they have nothing to lose - even if they get caught - it's a win for them - pure economy - don't ask the police - just watch your environment for someone heading in a STRAIGHT line towards you - that's threat !!!

Like every other station around Europe during the night...🤷🤦

Can confirm, my sister and her friend got robbed of her purse in the streets.

I am so blessed and grateful for living in Dubai…

This is very true. Milan Central Station is under very dangerous.

I live here. This video is a bit exaggerated. anyway at night stay away from noth africans (i know it doesn't sounds well, but it's true )

Yes, Milan central station is beautiful but also so scary even the day.. such ashamed.

as a italian i find this kinda offensive now we are not all related to the mafia (lets not talk about my family story lol)

Exactly, saw a lot of blogs about Milan but outside you there is not a single person who pointed out about this problem, thanks 🙏

That was never the italy I grew up in.....after decades of uncontrolled immigration, this is where we are today. I hope the far right PM will fix this mess

My first time in Milan was many years ago. Following the travel-guide book’s advise, “if you can’t get a hotel or hostel in Milan at night, take the train and get out of the city”. And I did exactly that, took the last train out to Switzerland and spent the night in the railway station.

I always arrived to Centrale late in the evening and never had any problems so far. Then I took the subway to the city center (Montenapoleone or Duomo).

It is the same for Belgian train stations (especially in big cities like Brussels).

As a woman, I am writing this comment alone, as a female.

I won't say this is totally irresponsible, but I can 100% say, as someone that has been in Milan and all over Italy, it is totally overly-paranoid.

I like Russians telling other people how bad to travel to the other countries! How about any railroad stations in any city in Russia?

Chill, it’s fucking Milan.

Don't travel alone as a woman if you can.

Always have been dangerous. Simple rule, many central stations in Europe are doggie. High alert!

As a person who is from milan i can confidently say DO NOT go to milano centrale at night it's like one of the most dangerous mainstream places in milan... Even us locals try to avoid it. Problem is that all stations are like that, i usually use the lambrate station because it's closer to my home but even that is a dangerous zone indeed

I arrived at Milano Centrale early in the morning around 7, first thing I saw when I went outside was a black dude sh*thing right on the street. Europe is lost. Doesn’t matter which country.

Was there last year with my wife, didn’t seem that dangerous and we took a taxi right outside, but her tips can help if you’re alone, stay safe 👍🏼

Milan is very beautiful but you always need to check around

I recently went to Italy during the Christmas holidays, and I am shocked to see how Italy has turned out to be. Italy used to be a clean, safe and law abiding citizen. Now with so many immigrants from all around the world , it is become unsafe, dirty, and unruly. Was surprised people traveling without Tram , metro tickets, and the stench of urine at the metro station in Milan was unbearable .

All the stations are dangerous at night 😅

I grew up in Milano now in America but still love Milan Sono Milanista

Been there myself ..at night ..no more dangerous than any station in the world ! WRONG !

Thank you dor this advice. So sad that Europe becomes really so dangerous now. It is like a third world country.

Good advice. Same goes for florence and especially rome

Women should never travel alone

Yeah, great advice, but sorry, I don't agree Anna. I 'm over 60 and have spent plenty of time n Mlano. Nothing bad has ever happened. I'd say Milano centrale is no better or worse than any other Italian central stations.

That's soo true, I was there last year and it was soo terrible

We didn't know and this happened to us because we were waiting on the earliest shuttle bus to the airport. Scariest travel experience ever

Not true at all. I was there last year. It was completely fine. Not more dangerous than any other big city in Europe.

this makes me strangely happy and kind of priviledged to be a 130 kg norwegian guy🧐

keep accepting migrants yes that will make it even safer

Last time I was at Milan station at daytime, it was full off black roadmens and we're fighting with police even when army forces were next to them patrolling. So sad.

Or skip Milan and go directly Florence.

Sono italiano, sono andato a Milano poco fa e confermo

Its safer to call a taxi then walk by yourselves on the streets outside of the main station..as an Italian woman, I recommend..not only in Milan

you can easily go to the official taxi spot near the station. It's the safest thing to do.

Don`t travel. Stay at home and you`ll be safe.

I would say the same for Heuston Station in Dublin.

Just pay attention. Big cities could be dangerous at night, Milan like your place.

Friend of mine was robbed solo traveling naples, did him bad with KO drops. So dont feel safe in itaöy at any time, gender aside..

If you are around Stazione Centrale after 23:00 alone, doesn't matter if you are a woman or a man, you are gonna get robbed, just accept it and move on.

Like in every big city you have to be very carefull woman or male

10/10 true, this is also for many other cities in the world. Stay safe ladies 🙏

Also, if you are carrying cash, put all the large notes in your socks and your shoes and carry just enough to pay for a cab or bus/train.

Enjoy it, there. Go over my area next time ! it's Puglia-region, in southeastern of Italy. Clean beaches, many caverns & easy, GOOD FOODS Peace 🎉

Its not dangerous. And the people are not dangerous in milan😂

Pls take her very important ADVICE.... Perfectly said ❤❤❤

Bologna Centrale Is far worse😢 Roma is pretty bad too

a bit to much, but yes be awared

It is the shitest place on earth I had all my documents money and everything stolen from my shoulder bag I never will forget

"Stazione Centrale" has a very bad reputation. Milano in general is not very safe. Don't walk the night alone, take a taxy. You can call the taxy by phone while you stay inside the station because the real danger is outside. If you want to visit Italy avoid big cities. Railway station in big italian cities has got the same problem. Stazione Termini in Roma, Stazione Porta Nuova in Torino ( prefer Stazione Lingotto) in Genova Stazione Piazza Principe is a little bit problematic, prefer Stazione Genova Brignole (very nice station). The first rule of the traveller us "Know the territory" it's s better to stay in small cities like Aosta, Cuneo, Novara, Treviso, Vicenza, Verona, Trento, Bolzano, Belluno, Chioggia, Cremona, Mantova, La Spezia, Cagliari, Alghero, Pisa, Isle of Elba, Imperia are very nice and quiet. There are big differences in few kilometers. The north quartiers of Torino aren't very safe but few km from there you can find many small cities completely different like Chieri, Pino Torinese, Cavoretto, Avigliana and Pinerolo. This last one remind me Bellinzona in Switzerland Good and safe trip (I'm Italian)

Thank you! I'm headed there soon! 🙏🙏

important to say that the people out there are not Italian but African non-EU!!!

Tell me which train station is safe for a woman at night

Most train stations in Italy are like this unfortunately :( bc mostly y'know...special substances traffic There is usually police or army cars during the day to control the area, but at night...avoid at all cost!

That woman is damn fine

I think that you gave very good suggestions!

Now is a little better , but yes it's good advice.

Girl, I'm female, white and european. I've been to Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo alone and at nights also. I even hitchhiked from Brasilia to Goiania in the night time. I walked passed a favela. I've traveled this way in morocco, Thailand and europe also. And nothing ever happened to me! Come on, this is Milan, not Afghanistan!

Exaggerated. It is dangerous as many others, of course better to watch your luggage and go to official taxi hub. Police is present, not as much as needed but there is.

Onestly, I live in Milan so Ive ocme home from the train at night and day tons of times and yes it is dangerous, but those people you see right outside areaonly just teenages skaters

A boss of mine advised me to travel to Italy with *no* jewelry. Because the jewelry in Italy is so beautiful that you can buy some there and then wear it back through customs without claiming it. She was a *genius*.

Thank u for the informative video ❤ please make more related to Milan

Also here in chemnitz ( germany).
