I felt generally safe in Florence. The weather was fine in April although it could get rainy all of a sudden. I stayed at a Hostel close to the train station, 10-15 minutes to the main attractions. I loved the gardens, loved the florentine steak and the city vibes.
Posted: August 28, 2024Experienced: March, 2024Nice city, lot of activities to do to discover the culture (muséum, pallazo, garden...(. The food is good if you avoid tourist trap. Super safe during the evening, I walked alone easily. I also recomand to take the train to discover small cities nearb y (Siena, Pisa(
Posted: July 24, 2024Solo travelling here was amazing. I stayed at a small hotel next to the train station and met up with Couchsurfing people. A woooonderful group of human beings and we instantly clicked. Florence has a lot to offer, many attractions are free to visit and the food is insanely good, even the vegan options ROCK! I always felt safe and it was very easily accessible by train.

I was in Florence for 3 days, went full solo (didn’t join any walking tours etc..) felt super safe. Also no issues eating by myself, there were many fellow solo female travelers! be sure not to talk to strangers on the main sites though as there are a lot of scammers.
Posted: June 23, 2024I felt safe in Florence because there are a lot of tourists but because of that you have to be aware that there are a lot of pick pockets, you have to take care of your personal things, if you go out at night be careful and try to stay alert
Posted: May 6, 2024We were safe. Expirience Florence by walking at evening, it is totaly different from daylight, verry romantic. Food is meat and stake, no vegan or vegetatian. Darling you are in Florence- steak is our food- that is what they say😂 We spend 2 days in Florence, it was about 100€ for stay at pansion. After we took car and go around Tuscany.
Posted: April 16, 2024Wonderful city. Felt safe walking around, evening in the evenings. Plenty to see just by walking around. Lots a pubs and cafe’s where people are friendly and conversations started. Probably my favorite city we visited during our 4 weeks in Italy. I would go back as a solo traveler and feel completely safe and welcome.

It was quite safe to travel in florence. The food was really delicious I wish I can stay more. But I will go that place amd visit again. It is not a cheap city but you can eat a lot top. Boboli garden was such a dream. Everybody should visit
Posted: March 21, 2024I felt safe most of the time in Florence! The locals are very friendly and willing to help you! Even if you can’t speak a lot of Italian, English is widely spoken! I really loved the Uffizi gallery, and I recommend getting cumulative tickets for the bargello museums and the Brunelleschi pass for climbing the dome and bell tower! My advice is to avoid the restaurants that advertise in English if you want to find the local places! The food is absolutely amazing and typically the wine is amazing (even the house wine). The city is incredibly walkable, and there is a train station that connects you to many of the main places in Italy! There’s also buses that you can buy cheap tickets for at small stalls around the city!
Posted: February 9, 2024I felt very safe walking around Florence, even at night. It was so lovely and not crowded at all. You can walk mostly everywhere you want to get to. So many lovely restaurants and bars as well. S stayed in a 4 star hotel and got a very good deal on booking.com. I arrived by train and left by train as I am travelling on a interail pass.

I have lived there for three years and I have never had any problems, not even returning alone in the evening, my fears come more from prudence but I have never been threatened. Public transport is very functional and quite quiet, only in the centre is there often the police to keep everything under control.

Very beautiful place. Have lived here for 2 months so far and haven’t had any bad experiences. Public transport is easy and it’s a very walkable city. I definitely would advise to look after your purse or bag though as anywhere in italy is known to have pickpocketers.

If you love art then this is a must to visit in Italy! I was recommended to buy pizza and bring it to the Piazzale Michelangelo and watch the sunset. Loved the enchanting Boboli Gardens after a long day inside of Uffizi Galleria. <3

I went to Firenze last year and it was so beautiful and a nice city. I would recommend it for sure. You can visit awesome museums although keep In mind that in Italyyou have to pay most of the activities. So it can be a bit expensive.
