I walked from Rimini to La Verna. It took me 5 days. I felt very safe while trekking in the woods and thorough the countryside. I've met a snake, a couple of hares and a hedgehog. Medium difficulty of the trail
Posted: July 4, 2025Experienced: September, 2024I went to Rome by train. Stayed at my boyfriend's. We went to the city centre for a drink, saw the Colosseum. It was very hot and full of tourists. At least there are fountains to fill the bottle of water
Posted: July 4, 2025Experienced: June, 2024I solo travelled to Venice (F28) and it was one of the best weeks of my life! I stayed at Anda Hostel in Mestre which was very clean and had a mini club downstairs, plus it’s only a couple of minutes onto the island from there. The only issue is that it can be a bit noisy sometimes. There are so many beautiful sites to see, boat trips to do and history to take in, everywhere you walk feels like a storybook. (Or that episode of Doctor Who). I was slightly disappointed with the food in Venice but it was alright. Very easy to do day trips to places like Bologna and Florence too.

I was in Bari for one day. And I didn't swim in the sea because it was cold. I felt safe. I rented a cool apartment on booking.com and was delighted with the host. Highly recommended!!! https://secure.booking.com/app_link/myreservations.en.html?stid=325542&bn=4697326006&aid=332731 I didn't have time to do a lot, but I'll tell you what was in my plans: 1. Local ice cream: https://maps.app.goo.gl/DSkzwpmeJHPH9J467?g_st=ipc (Since 1880, the art of homemade gelato has been handed down for generations); 2. The Bari Fish Market (Mercato del Pesce) is a kingdom of fresh fish and seafood, where local chefs and gourmets find the best ingredients for Apulian cuisine. The counters are bursting with the catch brought by fishermen straight from the sea: octopus, squid, shrimp, mussels and much more. Traders are eager to tell you how to properly cook seafood; 3. Orecchiette Caserecce - the street. Every morning, the housewives of Bari go out into the street with their workbench and, using a few precious ingredients: water, flour and skill, begin to prepare pasta. 🍝 4. Alberobello is a town 60 km from Bari. It is world famous for its unique tiny houses that look like fairy-tale gnome dwellings. These small white stone buildings with a gray conical roof are called trulli. You will not find such houses anywhere else in the world.
Posted: June 28, 2025Everything was fine but i didn’t like that it’s hard to find places to eat during some hours(like 16-17) became a lot of places are closed for some rest( Mostly people are kind and easygoing. Little bit expensive food in crodwded places
Posted: June 28, 2025I recommend visiting Bologna, but not for more than 3 days. The city is nice, but it doesn’t have the unique atmosphere of other charming Italian towns. Prices are reasonable, and all the must-see spots are within walking distance. You can also take a direct fast train to Venice for a day trip — I highly recommend that. I felt safe in the city, so it’s a good option for a weekend trip

How safe is Padova for me? Pretty safe, it’s my hometown. Like any city, it has a few areas where I stay more aware (around the train station, some corners of Arcella), but overall I walk, bike, and live here without fear. If you have common sense and know how to read a place, Padova is welcoming, vibrant, and calm. Solo travel feels fine, even at night just choose the right streets.

Genoa is a relatively small city. Most People would visit the city centre only. Genoa expands beyond it, both West and East. Coastal area of the city is super safe. City centre it is super safe in day Light and mostly safeat night. It is like entering a labirynt of narrow streets. At night Best advice is to move around following the crowds. Public bus is ok. Maiby the n. 1(I believe at night turns number in 618) can be slightly less pleasant.
