Residential south-east, outside the walls: post-war housing, the Parco dei Cedri, and very little that draws visitors. The only finding in local and municipal sources is that its foothill edge is covered by the same Comune neighbourhood-watch pact against house burglary as the hills of Santo Stefano and Porto-Saragozza. Quiet rather than empty, and quiet at night too.

Search accommodation here on Booking.com →
Booking.com has no separate search area for this neighbourhood, so this link searches the whole city rather than just this area.
This rating comes from a structured local-source assessment. This specific area was reviewed against credible local sources — local and national news, municipal and police-published material, and official surveys where they exist — and the signals were consolidated across sources rather than taken from any single report, with the reasoning and the sources shown above. Bologna publishes no comparable neighbourhood-level crime dataset; where a city does publish one, Wandroz uses it instead of an assessment. Where a review finds nothing documented, that is recorded as no findings rather than as a safety rating.
Frequently asked questions
Is Savena safe?
Wandroz currently rates Savena in Bologna as an area where the review found nothing traveller-relevant to report, both by day and after dark. This comes from a structured local-source assessment: an area-level review of credible local sources — local and national news, municipal and police-published material, and official surveys where they exist — consolidated across sources rather than taken from a single report. Bologna publishes no comparable neighbourhood-level crime dataset; where a city does, Wandroz uses it instead.
Is Savena safe at night?
At night, Savena is rated as an area where the review found nothing traveller-relevant to report. If you're unsure, it's worth checking recent local reviews for your specific street or block, since a neighbourhood-wide rating can't capture block-by-block variation.
Is Savena a good area to stay in as a tourist?
Savena's day rating (an area where the review found nothing traveller-relevant to report) is the more relevant one for typical daytime tourist activity; check the night rating too if you'll be out late. Note that the Booking.com link on this page searches Bologna, not Savena specifically: Booking does not list this neighbourhood as a destination of its own, so check each property's address against the map above.
Is there official crime data for Savena?
Not an official government crime feed — Savena's rating comes from Wandroz's own current local/national press and survey research for this specific area instead (see the note on this page for what was checked and the sources used). An absence of recent negative coverage is treated as inconclusive, not as proof the area is safe. If you live in or know Savena well, you can suggest a correction using the link below.
