Careggi is dominated by Florence's large university hospital campus and surrounding residential streets. Genuine, repeated press coverage exists of violent assaults against medical staff and security guards inside the Careggi hospital emergency department (multiple incidents with injuries reported in 2024-2025), but this is an internal hospital-violence problem rather than evidence of general street danger to residents or visitors in the surrounding neighbourhood, so the area itself defaults to green. Sources checked: La Nazione / Corriere Toscano, repeated reports of assaults on Careggi hospital staff and security.

This link is already scoped to this area (not the whole city), using the neighbourhood's real coordinates.
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. Florence 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 Careggi safe?
Wandroz currently rates Careggi in Florence 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. Florence publishes no comparable neighbourhood-level crime dataset; where a city does, Wandroz uses it instead.
Is Careggi safe at night?
At night, Careggi 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 Careggi a good area to stay in as a tourist?
Careggi'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. The Booking.com link on this page searches Careggi itself.
Is there official crime data for Careggi?
Not an official government crime feed — Careggi'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 Careggi well, you can suggest a correction using the link below.
