Italy was my first country to visit alone. I came here for my master's but never knew I'll fall in love with the beauty. Everything is structured and made with so much precision and meaning. Each city has it's own story to tell. ❤️

The museums and torres are wonderful and there is a high selection of bars and cafes which aren't too expensive and fairly reasonably priced. However, most of the entertainment is based on history so there is not loads for party-lovers

It was one of my favorite travel because It was so beautiful, the beauty of the Lake, the gardens, the culture, the olds houses, and the cute villages. And when the night comes the lake view is illuminated, so beautiful !!

Rome was such a beautiful experience! 🇮🇹✨ I loved walking around the city, discovering the Colosseum, Trevi Fountain and all the little streets and piazzas. The atmosphere, food and history make the city feel so special. Definitely a place I’d love to visit again! 💛

It was pretty but quite expensive and you have to walk a loooottt but overall if you book certain activities you can have a great time. Went with my best friend and we got to explore a decent amount.

I travel to Rome with family. I always heard about pickpockets and thieves. While I do not want to denounce that, but my experience as a woman has been otherwise. With some general caution, I have never had any issues with safety in Rome.

I loved Florence ! I believe it is one of my favourite places in the world. I believe Italy is a really nice area. We went to concerts, chathedrals. Food is always amazing, nothing beats italian food.

I visited some friends of mine!! It was a wonderful experience!!! Everyone is so nice and they speak french, so if you know french and not italian you’ll be more than ok. there are lots of hikes to do, but it’s a bit hot in summer so i would recommend to go there in spring

Venice is a beautifully romantic city. I went there while it was raining a little bit and the rain just added more to the beauty of the city. The city and the island nearby look surreal. It’s a city for the poets and the artists of the world!

When I was in venice i really felt joyful because that day the football team of venezia won some match and everyone was cheering and on their boats with flags and dancing and playing songs loudly. In Venezia you need to walk a lot and the boat ride must do in the day not in the night it’s best in the day! around 4-5 pm

It's safer than other cities in Italy, you just have to be aware of pickpockets sometimes. Other crimes than theft is nearly zero. It's safe for girls to roam around at night alone. Overall it's a very happening and pretty place to live.

florence is a moderated crime city but it has areas that are not to good to see like “Parco delle Cascine”. In the daytime it’s better if you want to have a walk but specifically when the sunset starts and became dark it’s very deep to see there because there’s not that much light and the people are doing of something and some of them are very creepy

Anzio
In the summer Anzio is really safe because there are a lot of Romans that come down to the beach or to walk in the evening, but in other seasons there is mafia and criminality, there have been a lot of bad cases in the past so it's better to go out only during the day.

I have not felt unsafe during my trip ! Everything was great and I liked it People were very nice and helpful The food was amazing and the city is magic a piece of architecture - I strongly recommend going there
Posted: August 15, 2026Florence
The city center of Florence is always full of tourists, so you might find people on the streets who are trying to scam them or even pickpocket them. I would recommend never going in the areas near the train station of Santa Maria Novella (Florence’s main train station) at night if not STRICTLY necessary.
Posted: August 13, 2026Bologna
City center is rather safe except Piazza Verdi and the part of Via Zamboni going towards the wall. Avoid behind the train station - no go area. The rest of it is mostly ok, it’s generally pretty busy at nighttime so people are usually around.
