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 😊

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 feel so safe in Florence and the people here are the most helpful. I had difficulties getting into my bnb, and the locals helped me to contact the bnb owner. It is also a a great city to visit as the attractions are really near to each other, and so far I didn’t come across any pick-pockets.

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

very touristy so very busy at all times, very unusual to not be near several people even late at night. got catcalled a few times but mainly by older italian men which I expected, nothing more than this though . I stayed at yellowsquare hostel which felt very well established and safe at all times.
