Overall very safe place for travelers! Almost everyone speaks English so communication has never been an issue throughout the time I’ve spent here!  there’s so many things to do and see here, from the main attractions like the Duomo to the local gelato shops, you could spend weeks just exploring the city and not run out of things to do!

I am loving Florence. It’s gorgeous and inspiring. I felt safe most of the time. I recommend staying by nice too rusty spots at night. There’s always people in the nice areas so it’s very safe. Don’t wonder to a new place off the main tourist spots as there are dark alleys. I stayed at the Santa Maria Novella which was a great location. Close to everything and really safe. Their atmosphere is elegant and super fun at night.

I liked Florence because it felt like a romantic cinematic city where I could travel in a natural way, just following my heart and being led to wonderful places, old churches full of beautiful art and history, romantic little cafes , and being able to visit the city by walking everywhere. It is like being in a dream.
Posted: September 30, 2023Experienced: July, 2023I was alone in Florence and did feel safe. I was never out really late but I didn't feel I needed to hurry back before dark. I had an amazing day cooking up in the hills overlooking Florence, and an afternoon pizza and gelato making. It's also definitely worth booking ahead for museums etc. as the lines are long.
Posted: September 19, 2023I was just in Florence for a couple of days as a solo traveler. Felt extremely safe, and had no issues doing all the touristy things. I enjoyed museums, food, and shopping. I did a couple of organized tours, and everything went great. Also there is a tram going from the center of Florence right to the airport, so convenient and cheap.
Posted: September 18, 2023Florence was my favorite big city in Italy. There’s so much to do, great shopping, great nightlife as well as museums. The city is clean and I felt very safe.

Florence is am amazing city, with lots of things to do and lovely people to meet. It’s just great the energy of this city for all the museum and great history but also the streets, cafes and restaurants. I had a great time there and I highly recommend it.
Posted: May 21, 2023I would have live this city forever, walk across that river and bridge everyday, and eat cantuccini without any complain. Florence is my long searched home, I felt like that when I first stepped its little streets.
Posted: May 10, 2023Experienced: February, 2023I’ve traveled around Italy quite a bit, and my absolute favorite place is Florence! so much to see and do, great nightlife, and friendly people.
Posted: February 25, 2023When you are in Florence, if you want a beautiful view of the city without the crowds, go to Forte di Belvedere. We did that instead of Piazzale Michelangelo. I think it was around 3 Euros per person, but totally worth it, especially when we looked over and saw the huge crowd at the Piazzale!
Posted: November 8, 2022Florence is a small but charming city, full of art and culture. You can visit it in 4 days, but there are lots of other places to see nearby! You can cross Tuscany in less than 3 hours and it's full of beautiful nature, good food and culture. There are literally so many good restaurants to try, but I recommend cheap "taverna" or "osteria" outside the city center, they have the real Italian food!!😉 It's not expensive if you avoid "tourists traps", but you have to find an accomodation outside the centre, in "Campi Bisenzio" or "Calenzano" for example. They are well connected, with trains every 30 minutes and you'll be in the city centre in 15 minutes. The car is not essential to visit Florence, even because you can't access the city centre with it and parking is expensive. Busses, trains and tram are functional. But if you want to visit Tuscany you'll need a car, especially for places like Chianti and Maremma or the coast. We are a welcoming country, so don't hesitate to ask for more information!!
