Trieste is an upscale residential quarter around Corso Trieste and Piazza Istria, adjoining Salario and Villa Ada. Local press has documented several armed robberies at pharmacies in the area, including a December 2024 incident at a pharmacy near Piazza Istria where a shot was fired and an employee was injured, and a separate case in which a pharmacist was robbed and briefly held at his home. Coverage suggests these are targeted commercial robberies rather than general street danger, but the repeated armed nature of the incidents warrants caution around these specific businesses.

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 Trieste safe?
Wandroz currently rates Trieste in Rome as roughly average compared to other neighbourhoods in Rome, 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. Rome publishes no comparable neighbourhood-level crime dataset; where a city does, Wandroz uses it instead.
Is Trieste safe at night?
At night, Trieste 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 Trieste a good area to stay in as a tourist?
Trieste's day rating (roughly average compared to other neighbourhoods in Rome) 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 Trieste itself.
Is there official crime data for Trieste?
Not an official government crime feed — Trieste'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 Trieste well, you can suggest a correction using the link below.
