It might be really dangerous to be at night nearby Milano Central Train Station! Especially if you are a woman travelling alone! #milan #milanitaly #dangerousinmilan
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.
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.
Amen! It's true. I know a man who was mugged at 5am there in Milan trying to catch a cheap train. Smh 😅 it’s like be logical. Wait until the daylight to travel, who wonders around at night in a foreign city feeling invincible ? (Besides the guy I knew? Lol) Probably more ppl if she didn’t make this video!
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
and yet Germans would gaslight you if you ever dared to tell them your experience, because they haven't experienced it themselves this it must be exaggerated😅💀
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.
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.
@@sbkr4906Come on...don't be a leftist. Everyone knows that in the tube in Italy the majority of pickpockets are rom from Romania. I wanna know if you can find an American pickpocket in Italy 😂
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.
Or you could understand the difference between private hires and waiting taxis. You have proof you were in the first, the waiting ones are far more dangerous. Stop giving poor advice when safe advice is given. Just so you can feel superior. Men like you are the reason men have a bad name. If you’re just a better person and don’t shame women for feeling scared of scum like you, you won’t seem like you’re one of the bad ones. 🙄 also you’re not Milan, you’re a moron called Fabio.
Probably every metro area in the world. Possibly South Korea, Japan and Taiwan are the exceptions. I'm in New England. There's a city 15 minutes drive from me. I've only gone in to it 3 times in 6 months.
@@dojopalace it isn't. And the video is full of wrong info. She purposely did not point the camera to the cops who are always in that square. Without mentioning the line of cabs that's in front of the station's main exit 24/7. Why walking far from the cabs to enter an hotel and call a cab? And where is these strange/dangerous people? Why could she walk holding a camera-phone and nothing happened? Since she is from eastern Europe she flags any black man as "strange". These tourists-with-a-tik-tok live on clicks and fear is a way to get more clicks. Mean, petty people who'd do everything for money.
@@Alexandra_Hill The problem is not the police, it is the magistrates, judges and bureaucracy. If you lived in my country you would understand the situation.
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.
Italian cities have one of the least number of immigrants in western europe. So many cities in northern europe and canada are much safer even with high immigration. Milan is a big city so crime is going to be high. The police are supposed to make it safer
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 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.
Yeah loads of migrant outside the station. Last I was there was also a guy bleeding all over. Don’t if Got stabbed or did self injury. But he was fucked up. So yeah scary place even during the Day and Im a 194cm 140 kilo male and I feel unsafe there during the day. Wouldn’t want to be there during night time
@@martinjuulandersen9694 lol I walked past the station several times and never saw anything like the situation you described, you people love blowing things out of proportion
Why do you point out that they are immigrants? Don't you think that's insulting to immigrants? Maybe you should point out that the police should do more to make people feel safer? Just a thought.
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.
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
When i was on the train going across the italian french border there were 4-6 illegal imigrants found hiding in the toilets during the security check. It is a problem especially in southern europe but Milan does have ALOT of pickpocketers and other strange things especially around the central station, so id say there are definetly both.
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
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.
Large parts of Berlin, Hamburg, Bremen, Frankfort and entire Northrhine-Westfalia in Germany have become a 16th century islamic shytehole thanks to low-IQ violent criminal 5 million additional "ra*efugees" coming into Germany the last 8 years...
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 !!!
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.
@@dojopalaceItaly overall is safe I was there in the Trieste/Muggia area last year and I didn’t have anything bad happen at all, like any other place don’t drop your guard anything can happen
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
This! It heavily annoys me that tourists coming to my country of Germany think the sick people they see here in the streets or read about them attacking Jews, xesually attacking Western woman, even in old age homes, robbing and drug dealing in German parks are GERMANS! They re NOT! They just scammed a german passsport! ALL of them and 80 % of Violent criminals caught in Germany are Arab muslims and/or Eastern Europeans and Africans, esp North Africans!
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).
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
@@spannaspinnathere is but it's not like they can do anything to people who are just sitting there and seemingly doing nothing bad (they stay there litterally all day and when they do something they just run away so police can't do anything)
@@sanuth05 it was lol... Not anymore. Listen to a person born, raised and still living there. Milan at the moment has become one of the worst citys in italy for security
Ok but for me QT8, lotto, curidusio, pagano, wanger, de angelic, banda nere,lampunano, Cardona, turro, p. venizua, San babila, duomo, segeseta, Lima. those are the places in Italy Milan nothing happened to me that is why I feel safe
@@sanuth05 non per caso ci sono millanobelladadio e tutti sti gruppi che segnalano il degrado. Pure io l'ho visto quando ci ho vissuto - Milano e peggiorata tanto. Mo non si puó girare da soli specialmente noi donne.
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.
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.
I guess you didn't leave your home right? You must be blind not to notice how dangerous this place is. I saw myself a train worker assaulted while checking tickets. Been robbed, SAed. How dare you say its not dangerous if its clearly is. There is nothing bad in staying safe so what is your interest in saying ooh its safe don't worry. And then girl arrives at the station and finds herself around homeless immigrants who assault her, ask for money or steal her stuff. Or she gets robbed by one of the gypsies on the metro and finds herself without document. You want that?
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 .
Apparently they’re saying men are targets too even tall very burly/muscular guys 😂 like ok be stupid enough to run on someone who’s physically capable of doing serious damage That wouldn’t be smart at all
@@brizzle3903 big and or dangerous people are of course not immune, but like you say, its not smart to create situations where some big guy breaks your jaw, and my(limited) experience with people who are only after some money start backing away when somebody announces will and ability to hurt them, even when the "crooks" would probably come out on top.
I can attest that just being tall and broad shouldered eliminates many threaths. Walked around Milan at night in extremely sketchy places with no problem. Even if they have nothing to lose they still have their brains on them to know which fights to pick.
Most major italian train stations are dangerous at night (for example Torino Porta Nuova and Roma Termini/Tiburtina). It's better to avoid them, especially if you're a woman. You really gave great advice. Please do as she says if you're ever in Italy 👍🩷🩷
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.
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.
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!
how stupid is that !? they dont care own folk at the night !? how old you 12?over 100 cameras that area 20 police cars day and night !that's not Africa middle of Italy talking about
When I was a teenager I traveled through Italy with my sister and we slept in the trains and nothing happend. Never felt unsafe locals were great . But we weren t looking rich at all. What happend ?
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
Japan, South Korea, Tibet, China, Taiwan, Hongkong, Singapore, Brunei, Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia), Qatar, Dubai, Saudi, Tel Aviv, Jerusalem. I know this because I have been to those countries and I'm a woman.
I got this one beat. I flew down to Caracas, Venezuela to meet up with my wife and her family around 2006. I arrived late at night. They sent their driver to pick me up who was also retired military. He drove back at high speed, around 100mph. I asked him why he was driving so fast. He said it was to make sure we weren't being followed by robbers or kidnappers. And this was before things had really gotten bad down there.
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!
@@AnnaGoldmanTravel : Until a few years it was worse, and even I as a man, at night in central milan I would not go there. Since they opened the central market the situation has improved a little bit especially during the day. However, it remains a badly frequented area especially at night.
@AnnaGoldmanTravel Big cities aren't nice places for anyone at night unfortunately. Maybe except Tokyo (yeah there's crime there too, but so much less).
Milan nowadays is a nightmare ... be extremely carefully not only in the station ..especially after covid... The city is unsafe..unable to grant security to people.... I suggest to go there only if you want to pickpocket people on metro or to sell drugs...
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*.
