I think the most important thing to be careful is mosquitoes. Especially if you are going to travel in the summer you must take care of yourself about that. Also, there is no night life in Venice and I feel a bit unsafe after 10 pm even in the summer night. But overall; people, view, and architecture were mesmerizing. And you should definitely see the Murano and/or Burano islands
Posted: January 16, 2025Super safe solo trip Stayed 2 nights, one in a Hostel with 16 other girls, and then one night at a 5 stars just to know how it felt, haha. Super safe to walk around at night and during the daytime. Super recommend
Posted: January 16, 2025Experienced: January, 2017I stayed at am Airbnb in the center of Palermi with my father. It was a great experience to explore the city for a whole week. People are not particularly friendly and you should watch out for your personal belongings. The architecture ist beautiful
Posted: January 15, 2025*as someone who visited over 20 places in italy, palermo is in top 3 *food is amazing and cheap *mostly safe, men sometimes stare uncomfortably but nothing more than that in my experience. Be careful about your belongings as in any other touristic city *went in October and it was 30 degrees Perfect for the beach still but also not as crowded as in summer months *public buses suck in sicily compared to the rest of the country but trains are great Went to a day trip to cefalu and agrigento Would recommend agrigento 10/10 *I stayed in casa di amici, female room, super clean and walkable distance from everything

I felt safe because I was not alone. There are many things to see such as the sea, Vesuvius, Pompeii, many churches, wonderful squares and also beautiful sights. For those who love nightlife there are many bars and discos. Our budget was 500€ per one for 1 week, there are many accomodations on booking.it It is well served by public transport, the food is very good but not very cheap( make the booking before to go on a restaurant or pizzeria if you don't want do a very long line)
Posted: January 13, 2025I recently visited Rome, and it was an incredible experience ✨I felt safe throughout my trip, even when exploring the city late in the evening. For the must-see attractions, I highly recommend the Colosseum, Vatican City, and the Pantheon, and many more… each of them offers a unique glimpse into Rome’s rich history through the lens of it’s breathtaking views. What I may recommend is to skip the superrrr long waits at tourist traps like overcrowded cafes near tourist attractions. Instead, I’d go and enjoy a sip of coffee or gelato in a less touristy neighborhoods like .. Trastevere (?). Food lovers should definitely try carbonara, which is my ultimate fave. Budget-wise, well I’m always looking for the lowest price, so daily i spent around €35-50 (including accommodation with meals) and some entrance fees. I didn’t know about travel ladies back then 😅 I stayed in a cozy place near Piazza Navona, which I loved for its central location and lively atmosphere. Getting around was easy, cause most places are walkable. I took a bus only to bring me to the airport and back, that’s all. Generally for those, who don’t like walking, no worries, everything is affordable. I did historical sights in the morning, breakfast at the BnB, for dinner I went out on the days I didn’t pay much for the attractions. Be ready for a lot of enjoyable walking 🚶♀️🚶♀️🚶♀️ Rome exceeded my expectations, and I can’t wait to return! ✨

It was the only country I was sure to be able to go solo traveling as if I have already been there several times and always felt safe there. And there was nothing to worry about. I haven't left my Appartements after nine in the evenings when I stayed not in the centre of cities. Due to the tourists there are always people everywhere. The Italians are good in guesting. It was a bit exhausting that they always asked if I really travel alone and will sleep alone in their Appartements... Hadn't have that in other countries. Been to Albania, Denmark, Spain, France...

My experience in Rome was great. I took some walking tours there using th GuruWalk app and met some solo travelers there as well. I stayed in a hostel, "Destination Rome". It was pretty good, clean, and in a nice location in 10 mins from the central train station. I would recommend buying tickets for the bus from the airport in advance, it's cheaper than the train.
Posted: January 6, 2025Experienced: November, 2024I loved my solo trip to Italy! It was amazing. I booked to stay with a pre-planned host experience and I made so many great friends, ate amazing food, and had wonderful memories. I would go back again!

The city center is quite safe (but be careful to pickpockets!), the surroundings are less safe. Robberies are becoming more common. I’d avoid going out after dark as a woman because I don’t feel particularly safe
Posted: January 18, 2025I don't think it's a city more dangerous than others, many stereotypes aren't so true. But it is still a large and very complex city. Often, I don't feel safe; in the past, I was even attacked by a group of kids for no reason. But the greatest fear is definitely being robbed: in Naples, we would never leave anything unattended, the trust among citizens is very low. And the police are definitely not very cooperative.

Hi, I’m Sophie. I’ve always loved travelling and recently discovered the joy of solo travelling. A few years ago, I lived in Auckland, New Zealand for a year and then travelled around the world for 14 months. Since April 2024, I’m travelling around Europe in my camper van while working remotely until at least the end of 2025. My plan is to visit Ireland, Norway, Italy, Scotland, Wales, Iceland, Spain and Portugal.
