Is Florence Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Solo travel experience

Nice 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(

Solo 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.

Group travel experience

I 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

We 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.

Wonderful 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

I 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!

I 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.

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!

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.

Most of the time, you'll be safe but someone with bad intentions could take advantage of you if you appear lost or drunk. In the crowded areas in the city centre there could be some pickpocket. During the night avoid railway station area and narrow and dark alleys. Cascine park only during the day.

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.

I absolutely love Florence! It was my 2th time visiting and I will come back over and over again. I suggest just getting lost in the city, follow your intuition and you will end up at the most cosy corners, impressive buildings and squares full of music! And you have to go watch the sunset at Piazzale Michelangelo!!!
