Appio (the Appio Latino area along Via Appia Nuova near San Giovanni) is a dense, largely residential and commercial district. Local press has reported a seized drug box containing cocaine, hashish and dealing equipment, a sanctioned minimarket for selling drug-adjacent paraphernalia, and a community-compiled map of drug dealing submitted to the Prefecture by local residents concerned about street dealing. These point to real, localized drug-dealing concerns without evidence of major violent crime, supporting a yellow rating at night.

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. Rome 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 Appio safe?
Wandroz currently rates Appio in Rome as an area where the review found nothing traveller-relevant to report during the day and roughly average compared to other neighbourhoods in Rome at night. 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. Rome publishes no comparable neighbourhood-level crime dataset; where a city does, Wandroz uses it instead.
Is Appio safe at night?
At night, Appio is rated as roughly average compared to other neighbourhoods in Rome. 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 Appio a good area to stay in as a tourist?
Appio'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 Appio itself.
Is there official crime data for Appio?
Not an official government crime feed — Appio'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 Appio well, you can suggest a correction using the link below.
