How safe is Italy for solo female travelers?

We were at sea every day. The water was very nice and the beach was nice and shallow to go in on. There's also a port in the town, which allows you to visit Venice, Murano, and other islands. The old town of Chioggia, a few minutes away, is definitely worth seeing

Italy 🇮🇹 I went to Florence and Pisa, and they were some of the places where I loved the architecture and the food. I would definitely go back ☺️ The vibe you feel there is spectacular, one of the best experiences I have ever had.

It was amazing. I went with my boyfriend and we booked an Airbnb with a mindblowing view on one of the villages and the sea. We visit all the villages and the walk was always surprisingly easy. If you have a basic physical condition It’s perfect.

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.

Parma
Parma is generally safe and quiet. I suggest to avoid the train station area during the night. Of course, sporadic episodes of pick pocketing might happen. Lately, there have been episodes of men fighting, but they usually don't engage random people in the streets.

It's safe in general but at night be careful and don't go to empty places. It's better to reserve a place in advance and be careful of online scammers. Like it happened a lot for people I know that they got scammed through facebook. So do not pay in advance.

I m from a city next to Milan, I will say that is not a safe place and you have to be very careful on the public transport. There are a lot of homeless and people that steal money, bag and phones. Especially the night is very dangerous, I never went to milk alone during the night, and during the day sometimes people start to follow me and they steal my bag with everything. Be very very careful and never the night.

Very safe, all streets are full of people jogging, walking their dogs, children driving with bicycles and grandparents taking a walk even around 22:00 There are a couple of quiet places but a bar is always full of very nice people!

Rome is usually safe. Need to be careful of pickpocketers unfortunately, which is rampant throughout tourist spots and public transport. But locals are helping, ofcourse there are few shady areas but most Rome is safe

As a woman I feel very safe living in Courmayeur. It’s a small, quiet town where I’m comfortable walking around alone, even in the evening. There isn’t usually much movement or nightlife after a certain hour, so the streets can be very quiet, but that’s more because the town is peaceful than because it feels unsafe. I’ve never really felt the need to worry about walking home alone here.

About me
Hi! I'm Alice Maia, 🌊I've lived in Genova all my life and I love meeting new people. I will gladly chaperone you around🚶🏻♀️whenever I'm available, give indications and eventually host🛌🏻 if it's possible for me and my family. I really enjoy meeting new people from all around the world and chatting💬 about literally everything. Also I have cats! Putting it here because I keep forgetting people I host might be allergic😅 🎯I love travelling solo, although I don't often get the chance. I'm very interested in knowing how other people experience life, I like to know what you think of my culture and my city, and I will probably ask a lot about yours too, if you agree to! Basically I love sharing stories, ideas and everything else!🗣️ I feel like travelling and making friends should be for everyone, so feel free to contact me if you have any particular concern (e.g. you have a disability, are part of a minority and are concerned about your safety etc) Among other things, here's a few of my interests! - I study Environmental Sciences🌍🌎🌏 - I'm a climate justice activist📢 - I love volunteering as a Scout Leader in one of our local groups⚜️ I've been a scout all my life since I was 8 and I love this world, so if we share this experience let's talk about it! I know it can be very different being a scout around the world:) Other things that might be interesting: - I try to live as sustainably as possible, including following a vegetarian or vegan diet🧆 - I have a chronic illness that means my energy levels can vary a lot from one day to the other, so I'll need to plan anything carefully to be sure I can make it through the day🔋 - I'm neurodivergent🧠 - I'm all about inclusion and accessibility, so feel free to tell me about any of your needs or boundaries!🫂
