Is Florence Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Florence

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).

I have been living in Florence from more than 8 years now. The overall situation in the city is quite safe. I do not feel at danger while walking around during the day or by night. It happens to be robbed, especially in city center.

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

I personally have had many nights walking at least 20-30minutes home and have felt safe the entire time. I have gotten yelled at but nothing physical or too intimidating. I do know of people getting mugged or followed in the city center.

It is safe unless you’re alone at a bar or it’s late at night, in these cases you can taken advantage of very quickly. Queer bar maybe an example of just men doing whatever they want unfortunately, a friend of mine has been kissed on the neck unprovoked there.

Florence is pretty safe during the day and some neighborhoods are safer than other. Santa Maria Novella, San Jacopino, Piazza Dalmazia, Cascine Park are bad. Be careful at night! Florence is no more safe at night and pls avoid dark alleys

I feel safe in the Florence, also walking along in the evening. Of course I have my guard on as well, but at the same time I can be relaxed and open for the beauty. The traffic is quite wild though, so look around before crossing the street. Scooters can appear out of nowhere. I usually walk everywhere, but when I use public transport I am very satisfied with it. "at bus" app is great, you can buy tickets with it, track your journey and where you need to get of. The food in restaurants I've been so far is good and so far I always spent bellow 20€ and was full for hours afterwards. Though water in restaurants is quite expensive in my opinion. I will start ordering tea with meals, to see if there's a difference. The prices for coffee can be surprisingly cheap, you can get espresso for 1€, 1,30€ and it is good. In restaurants, coffee shops, shops almost all employees speak English good enough to get the deal done. When I try to practice my Italian, they sometimes switch to English when they see I am struggling. But they are not making fun, just trying to do their work efficiently.

Florence is a safe city during the day in the city center, but unfortunately there are some neighborhoods that are dangerous, the ones close to the main train station for example. During the night there isn’t that much supervision and as a girl alone it isn’t that much safe, but it always depend where you are!

Florence is a small historic city. It's one of the most popular cities in Italy, but unlike the other most visited one, it is safer. I've never experienced harassment of any kind, also because it's enlightened and there is little poverty and menaces.

Never encountered anything shady. Keep on the main roads and all will be fine. Cat calling happens way less than other places. It is overall a safe city. I live close to the center and nothing has ever happened

Florence is a really safe city. We were there in the middle of the night like 2 am. And it was still crowded even in February. Lots of tourist attractions and delicious food. We extended our trip because of this beautiful city. Would love to visit again in summer.

Firenze is an incredible city that still preserves so much magic! You can easily imagine and feel how it was when da Vinci, Michelangelo, Alighieri and all the greats used to roam the same streets ✨ the feeling of getting lost in all the tiny streets, seeing the leather shops, having dinner in the amazing restaurants after a day of exploring and seeing some of the world’s best masterpieces is truly incomparable. I love this city so much that I go every year for my birthday now going on 4 consecutive years I cannot possibly recommend the city more it’s a must of traveling in Italy!
