Family travel

Florence was amazing. I wandered through the streets, saw the Duomo, and explored the city. Don't forget to walk up the Vialetti del Giardino Bardini. You can have a great view of whole Florence up there. I had some pizza for lunch that was actually pretty affordable, and later bought a gelato at Venchi which was a bit pricey, but totally worth it. Definitely a city I won’t forget.

Family travel

I went on a day trip with my family, we saw the main attractions (Uffizi, Cathedral, garden). I really enjoyed it and planning to go back for a longer time, for art lovers it is definitely a must have destination 😊

Solo travel

Went to Florence by myself very last minute and it was such an amazing trip! The food was delicious, there's so much to see you'll never get bored! It's a beautiful city! I slept in one of the cheapest and best hostel I have ever stayed in (at least for now). I don't go out much at night but I still felt pretty safe when I was And from Florence you can take the train to Pisa for a one day trip, it is very convenient and not expensive!

I’ve only heard of a few pickpocketing incidents since I’ve been here and I’ve been safe walking home alone at night multiple times. While I would advise making smart choices and not walking alone at night if you’re not familiar with the area, the biggest risk is pickpocketing during the day, and even that is more limited in my experience than what you might think.

When you visit Florence you have to beware some zones especially after dark. Some examples are the cascine park or campo di marte. If you walk in crowded places beware of pickpockets. Also the santa maria novella station square is not a recommended place after midnight but generally there are more people so less than the previous places.

Not safe as before Covid! Please be careful with public transportation at night, try to share a taxi instead. I suggest you to avoid the train station zone (Santa Maria Novella) and Via Nazionale with Piazza Indipendenza. Try to be on Lungarni, instead
