Is Florence Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

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.

Firenze is an incredible city that still preserves so much magic! You can easily imagine and feel how it was when da Vinci, Michelangelo, Alighieri and all the greats used to roam the same streets ✨ the feeling of getting lost in all the tiny streets, seeing the leather shops, having dinner in the amazing restaurants after a day of exploring and seeing some of the world’s best masterpieces is truly incomparable. I love this city so much that I go every year for my birthday now going on 4 consecutive years I cannot possibly recommend the city more it’s a must of traveling in Italy!

Family travel

Beautiful scenery, lovely people and the best food I've ever had on holiday, for an affordable price too. Going there has made me want to move and live there forever. So many museums and places to see.

Family travel

I stayed with my family in an Airbnb, we took the buses to go into the city, it was really easy to move around. People were nice even though I was the only one speaking English and a bit of Italian. The only thing I would really recommend is to book tickets in advance for every museum and of course to eat ice cream ! I fell in love with this beautiful city and their art. Very walkable city with a lot of things to visit.

Group travel

I felt really unsafe in the city. There are organised groups that follow people across the city and steal from you without you even noticing. They stole from one person from my group. The city is filled with tourists and scammers although the monuments look marvelous. But that and the food are the only 2 things good about the city

Family travel

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.

Solo travel

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

Solo travel

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(

Couple travel

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.

Group travel

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!!!

I have been living in Florence from more than 8 years now. The overall situation in the city is quite safe. I do not feel at danger while walking around during the day or by night. It happens to be robbed, especially in city center.

Florence is a beautiful city but right now it is full of tourists and so many people therefore it's getting very crowded and more dangerous than before. I wouldn't say you can't enjoy yourself being fully carefree but be careful of your surroundings everytime. Always have a vigilant eye on your belongings and for solo women be always sure that someone you trust know where you are. Better safe than sorry! Otherwise have a nice experience in Florence there are tons of visit and amazing place to see
