Venice is generally safe for visitors. The city has a low crime rate, and violent crime is rare. Keeping your belongings secure and staying aware of your surroundings can help prevent petty crime.
Venice’s narrow streets and canals can make navigation challenging, so be cautious when walking and pay attention to signs and directions. Some areas can be prone to flooding, especially during high tides (acqua alta), which can impact travel plans and mobility. Checking local weather conditions and tide reports can help you prepare.
