Is Florence Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Group travel

I fell in love with Florence. I felt really safe. Florence at night is full of young people and students. One of the cheapest bars is “the box”, you can grab a drink there with 3-5 euros. We enjoyed our time there. In Florence we ate amazing food at “la fettunta”. I think it’s the best food I’ve ever eaten in my entire life. I still remember it. For breakfast we chose to grab something from the “vecchio forno” and not to sit somewhere. I totally recommend eating the “lingue della suocera”. The most expensive attraction was entering the cathedral dome, but it was so worth the view. I recommend booking one of the latest groups to admire the view and a perfect sunset. If you are a European citizen between 18-25 y.o. you can enter the most museums with 2€.

Solo travel

Florence is a stunning city filled with history, art, and charm. As a solo female traveler, I felt completely safe walking around, enjoying museums, local food, and the warm, welcoming atmosphere everywhere.

Florence was dreamy! There are a lot of sights, like the David statue and the Kathedrale. I was there on a study trip, so we visited a lot of art museums and the churches we're also really pretty, just go into a little church, they are really charming! A plant based Restaurant i personally really liked was "Santo Falafel" and the sandwich imbiss "Pitti Express" was also really good. I do have to criticise that the prices for me as a German are pretty high, but on markets, which there are several there every day, fruit and stuff ist not that pricey and very delicious! Also there are not a lot of parks in the central part of the city and not everything in Florence is a dream come true, cause there are also ugly sites: work environment for the people there is often hard and of course there are homeless people there, sexually harrassment is in italy also very high. So i think it's important to not overromanticize these places, but for me it was an unforgettable experience, also cause i had one of my best friends with me! PS: the fleamarkets are soo big

Group travel

I went on a school trip some years ago, so it was a very large group and we always felt safe. Overall, it was easy to get around and we usually used public transport to move or we would just walk most places. Only warning isn't safety related, it's just that in Florence the bread isn't salted so that might be a surprise when you bite into it

Solo travel

Florence is a really safe city. We were there in the middle of the night like 2 am. And it was still crowded even in February. Lots of tourist attractions and delicious food. We extended our trip because of this beautiful city. Would love to visit again in summer.

I’m using every day subway: subway, using so safety and cheapest. Santa Maria Novella station near the menu famous place if you want shopping or if you want walking famous place all is so near. Local food restaurant is cheapest all the best museum are there.
