Is Florence Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Florence

very touristy so very busy at all times, very unusual to not be near several people even late at night. got catcalled a few times but mainly by older italian men which I expected, nothing more than this though . I stayed at yellowsquare hostel which felt very well established and safe at all times.

Florence is by far the safest city I’ve ever lived in. Of course nothing is ever guaranteed, but overall it’s a peaceful and easy-going place. My neighborhood is quiet and residential, with local families and Florentine people. The city stays calm most of the time. Even on weekends the nightlife is gentle compared to other cities. Late at night on Fridays or Saturdays might feel a little less calm, but I often walk home alone and I’ve always felt safe. Don’t worry 😇🌸

I felt mostly safe this trip! I had experienced some sexual harassment (verbal only) on past trips to Italy while walking around so I was weary about travelling solo in Italy but it was fine! I got called out to by a few men but I think they were trying to sell me stuff so i just disregarded them. On my train to the airport a man did sit across from me and we spoke to each other in broken French and he was apparently trying to hook up with me which was not a fun experience but I didnt feel unsafe, just uncomfy. Since Florence is so touristy I think the risk of being assaulted or harassed on the streets is really low. I didnt go clubbing or to bars so I can't review those, but the walking I did in the evenings was for the most part fine I wouldn't be worried as long as you are aware of your surroundings:)

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

I fell in love with this city. I think it was a safe and touristy city. I'd say the prices were average but the famous museum entrances were a bit expensive. The food and wine were amazing. But overall I'd love to go back there 🫠

Family travel

What an amazing city!!! From beautiful sights, people, culture, foods, and overall outstanding hospitality- I loved this city! I heard before traveling, to make sure I watched my belongings & be aware, which I did, but I never felt unsafe- even at night. I would absolutely go back!
