Super, I loved it. Truly a city of culture, history, and old stones. The aesthetics of an old book ❤️🔥. It was a bit much having robes distributed at the entrance of a church just because I was a cyclist with shorts just above the knee, while men walked around freely in much shorter shorts. But, well, you have to adapt to local customs and stay open-minded.

I really enjoyed Florence, especially the vibe for a sunset on a hill and the evening and night after. It's sizzling but in a happy and exciting way. The city is really beautiful, and really has a nice 'summer in Italy' vibe, even in February.

I loved it, there is so much to see, try and discover. Certainly in August it is quite hot and crowded, but it is a beautiful and fun city full of culture and friendly people. You have to take the time to see it in great detail.

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.

I’ve always felt pretty safe in Florence, but I’d suggest to avoid the area of the stations (the central station, but also the one in Rifredi and Statuto) at nights. Also, Rifredi and Le Piagge are in generale places to avoid when it’s dark
Posted: May 14, 2026Train station can be empty at night. Recommend to arrive during daytime and leave during daytime. Keep an eye on distraction pickpocketers, they work in groups of 3 or 2. Be aware of your surroundings.

Safety in Florence really depends on the areas: in the most touristic places pickpockets are quite common. Keep an eye on your purses, bags and pockets of course! Especially on trams and near the main train station! Also stay safe at night!
Posted: April 22, 2026Its a quite safe city do you dont have to worry about it that much. Just like anyother place there are pickpockets so be careful of that. But its mostly patty crimes so it a lot more safer than other italy cities
