Italy (despite legends about cult mafia clans) has always been characterized by a low crime rate. Tourists should only be cautious of pickpockets. They operate at train stations, in the airport, and on public transportation.
Scammers in Milan often work in pairs: one distracts your attention while the other empties your pockets or handbag. The city's most unsafe areas are considered to be the industrial zones.
Overall, Milan is considered a safe city for tourists, especially in the central districts and popular tourist spots. However, in the evening and at night, it's best to avoid walking along deserted streets and in the outskirts. Be cautious in crowded places and never leave your belongings unattended, even in cafés or shops.
