Is Prato safe for solo female travelers?

Prato is generally a safe place to travel for solo female travelers. The crime rate is quite low and the locals are usually friendly. It's a smaller, less touristy city compared to some other Italian cities, therefore, unwanted attention is less likely. Nonetheless, having a general sense of awareness around your surroundings and staying cautious during night times, as in any foreign land, will contribute to a safer travel experience.

Prato is a big city so every place is different, the centre isn't too safe but it isn't that bad either, but there are other zones that are much less safe, for example there is a zone with a lot of factories where I wouldn't recommend going.

Overall situation is not bad, just make sure to avoid certain quarter such as Porta al serraglio station, especially at night. Sometimes you can be approached by some men in a non comfortable way and that can be annoying.
