Is Florence Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Florence

I’m using every day subway: subway, using so safety and cheapest. Santa Maria Novella station near the menu famous place if you want shopping or if you want walking famous place all is so near. Local food restaurant is cheapest all the best museum are there.

I think Florence is a kind of safe city, since it’s small and full of young people such as university’s students. Also, there’s always someone in the streets because the city is almost always “awake”. Pay attention to your bag and stuff on public transportation, since someone could try to rob you (but like almost everywhere, don’t panic). Don’t walk around Cascine Park and the Central station of Santa Maria Novella alone in the night. I think Florence is pretty fine and you’ll be okay.

Quite safe, if you stick to center especially in the tourist season, it feels pretty safe when you’re walking after dark… pickpockets are a huge problem though, in the public transport you have to be super ca

In my opinion florence is generally a quiet city. You have to be careful, and in crowded places or on public transport you need to keep an eye on your backpack or bag. It is not a very active city at night, except for some small areas in the centre, so at night I do not feel very safe taking long walks alone in almost deserted streets. At night there is very few public transport (the routes end around midnight/1.00).

Florence is a beautiful city but right now it is full of tourists and so many people therefore it's getting very crowded and more dangerous than before. I wouldn't say you can't enjoy yourself being fully carefree but be careful of your surroundings everytime. Always have a vigilant eye on your belongings and for solo women be always sure that someone you trust know where you are. Better safe than sorry! Otherwise have a nice experience in Florence there are tons of visit and amazing place to see

Group travel

I fell in love with Florence. I felt really safe. Florence at night is full of young people and students. One of the cheapest bars is “the box”, you can grab a drink there with 3-5 euros. We enjoyed our time there. In Florence we ate amazing food at “la fettunta”. I think it’s the best food I’ve ever eaten in my entire life. I still remember it. For breakfast we chose to grab something from the “vecchio forno” and not to sit somewhere. I totally recommend eating the “lingue della suocera”. The most expensive attraction was entering the cathedral dome, but it was so worth the view. I recommend booking one of the latest groups to admire the view and a perfect sunset. If you are a European citizen between 18-25 y.o. you can enter the most museums with 2€.
