I traveled through northern Italy for a month last year and felt very safe. I didn’t have a lot of money to spend on hotels, so I stayed in hostels, which were wonderful. I chose the hostels based on location and reviews. I was never disappointed. However, I would recommend choosing dorm rooms that are segregated by male and female.
Posted: September 21, 2023I spent a week solo in Florence & Milan (Airbnb in Florence, hotel in Milan) and I felt totally safe walking around. I wore a crossbody purse and didn't take it off of me even when eating meals. I didn't have any issues and it was a beautiful trip. I had a great time.
Posted: September 21, 2023I went on a solo trip to Italy for 10 days and visited Milan, Venice, Florence, Positano, and Rome, stopping in each city for 2 days. I never felt unsafe once. I noticed once in the subway in Milan there was a young man sizing me up, but once he saw my bag was zipped and not an easy target he moved on. You just be aware and cautious like you would anywhere else. Each place was magical and unique in its own way and highly recommend visiting it.
Posted: September 19, 2023I was in Italy alone for about 12 days. I visited Rome, Florence, Cinque Terre, Milan, and Venice. Regarding city-to-city transportation, I always used Trenitalia because it's the cheapest option. I used scooters to get around and ended up with some blisters from the footwear. I could pay with a credit card anywhere, but I made sure to have cash on hand.
Posted: September 18, 2023I love Italy, one of my favorite countries. It's also ideal for solo and first-time travelers, a country with great cultural and gastronomic beauty. You just need to be careful with pickpockets in highly touristy areas or crowded places like the metro. Apart from that, it's spectacular. Every time I can, I go back. I never get tired of it.
Posted: September 11, 2023A solo trip around Italy was one of the best journeys I've had. Italy is perfect for solo travelers. I visited several cities: Bologna, Rome, Naples, and the Amalfi Coast, and everywhere people were open and friendly. I met fantastic individuals and had a wonderful time on my own. I moved around using trains, swiftly and comfortably. Overall, I highly recommend it.

I went to Italy last summer to visit a friend in the region of Venice. We also decided to do a short backpacking trip by train in Tuscany. It was amazing!!🥰 We went to Rome, Sienna, Florence, Pisa and Cinque Terre. We had a good time travelling and some adventures. We travelled from Venice to Rome by Flixbus for like 15 Euros and then after our stay in Rome took the train to the other destinations. There was a ticket for all regional trains that covers 5 days for 50 euros which was a good option for us. In total we travelled for 8 days, but next time I’d probably try to spend more time in each place. We spent 3 days in Rome, 1 in Sienna, 2 in Florence, 1 at Cinque Terre and 1 in Pisa. For Rome the time was actually enough we did almost everything. A tip for Rome or general are the free walking tours you can book online with “get your guide”. The guides are usually locals and after the tour you just give them whatever you feel comfortable giving. :)
Posted: August 25, 2023I traveled alone around Italy last summer and didn't speak any Italian. I went to Torino, Venice, Naples, Luca, Pisa, and Florence, all were completely safe and I had an amazing time.

Italy was wonderful. I went there for a solo trip and it was amazing. The view was incredible, and people are so kind and positive with the tourists. The food is excellent. I'm looking forward to go there again
Posted: July 10, 2023Experienced: May, 2019I did a interrail alone in Italy last summer. I went to Milan, Verona, Venise, Trieste, Bari, Napoli, Pompei, Amalfi Coast and Rome. I had no problem at all and I didn't speak Italian either. Italian guys seem to flirt a lot, but I didn't accept any drinks and I was fine.

What is the best beach city to visit in Italy? Something with airport, cute town and nice beach to swim? A trip is for mom and my younger sister, so it should be something not a party but cute and calm vacation 😊

Posted: August 20, 2023My 2 bests friends and I are traveling to Italy next year. We are staying in four cities: Naples, Rome, Florence, and Venice. Has anyone been and what places do you recommend to see?
Posted: August 15, 2023I’m thinking of going Milan next week but hotels seem really expensive. Does anyone know cheaper hotel brands in Italy? That maybe wouldn’t be on the usual booking websites.
Posted: August 15, 2023I’m traveling to Rome and Paris and I’m looking for recommendations for a good restaurant in each city. I don’t want to “break the bank” but willing to pay a decent price for a good meal.
