I think the most important thing to be careful is mosquitoes. Especially if you are going to travel in the summer you must take care of yourself about that. Also, there is no night life in Venice and I feel a bit unsafe after 10 pm even in the summer night. But overall; people, view, and architecture were mesmerizing. And you should definitely see the Murano and/or Burano islands

Super safe solo trip Stayed 2 nights, one in a Hostel with 16 other girls, and then one night at a 5 stars just to know how it felt, haha. Super safe to walk around at night and during the daytime. Super recommend

I loved my stay alone in Venice. I stayed there for 3 nights. The first day, I visited the whole main island on foot going to Punta della Dogana, then crossing Punta dell’Academia I went to Piazza San Marco, then Ponte di Rialto to reach the Jewish quarter. Very very nice. The second day, I went to visit the islands of Murano and Burano. I went to restaurants solo every day and ate really well. I recommend going to small traditional restaurants that are located in alleys.

Venice is a beautiful place; the people are very kind and pleasant. Not to mention, the food is amazing. You can do everything on foot, but the transportation is also safe. It's a very busy city with a lot of people at the same time.

I loved Venice I stayed outside next to the train station in ANDA Venice and I would definitely suggest it! There wasn’t a lot to do so I decided to walk around and find the cool little spots! Walking around alone felt super safe but not so much on the main land at night!!

I was feeling safe there. I've stayed in a hostel that was not far away from the city center. The public transport is "vaporetto"and I highly recommend to buy a ticket abonement for the quantity of days that if you will be there like 2 days or 3 days ticket. It will be cheaper

Venice was a beautiful city that is so walkable and busy that it makes things interesting. The city sometimes feels like a maze and it is enjoyable walking around with no activities or destinations in mind. It's honestly so budget friendly in that way. The architecture is so beautiful and the San Marcos cathedral is only 3 euros. I recommend getting an all day ferry pass because your feet will be tired at the end of the day. You must try the tiermisu it's so delicious!

Venice is a beautiful city. During the day there are a lot of crowds and it doesn't help that some of the pathways are very narrow. While in those places i did keep an eye on my belongings. Other than that Venice is safe and and very pretty. I do recommend buying the 20eur ticket that allows you to visit a lot of museums and churches. Not all of them are amazing but most of they are a good attraction to see.

Loved Venice in winter time with high water. The gates were left open and the city was flooded. Dec is a very quiet time to visit the city. I walked the entire day. There were very few visitors. Had the best time

I was staying with Italian friends and I loved it. It was the best of solo traveling and having a cozy warm space at home. In general I feel Venice gets too crowded / don’t really recommend more people to go because locals loosing access to affordable home is real. Both flats the friend lived at were now converted into airbnbs. I stayed for 10 days, I feel as it’s not the biggest place perhaps you could stay for less time / also not stay inside of Venice and e.g. go there by bus. Other cities are fairly accessible, I can recommend using Flixbus.

For the first in my entire life I’m living in a city where I totally feel safe. Since I live here I’ve never experienced bad situations. I usually walk at night alone listening to music and I’m not worried.
Posted: February 6, 2025Venice is one of the safest cities in Italy. The city structure makes it less prone to typical urban crimes. However perty crimes such as pickpocketing can occur, especialmy in crowded areas like piazza san marco

About me
👋🏻 Hi! My name is Damayanti, i've been living in beautiful Venice for almost a year. After several years as a graphic designer, i'm now taking some time to figure out what i really want to do. In recent years i've been feeling, more and more, the necessity to stay away from my computer and office, etc. and take more time for myself. I'm now truly enjoying the incredible place where i'm living, Venice, exploring the laguna and its idden treasures. 🌱I've always felt this connection with nature, i'm a great observer and i like to get excited and emotional by small natural things. At this moment I also feel the desire to explore my abilities, immerse myself in new situations, get to know different realities and people, learn new things, and enjoy life and what it offers. 👉🏻 ‼️ I live in a little house with two flatmates, everyone has its own bedroom. The only space I have to host someone is in my double bed!!! ✨

About Me
Hi there! I’m Elif, a 25-year-old master’s student in Sustainable Energy Systems, currently living in Linz, Austria. I moved here from Turkey a few months ago and am still adjusting to my new life while balancing my studies and looking for work opportunities. I love meaningful conversations, music, and cozy environments. I enjoy singing and sometimes use it as a way to relax. Food, movies, and good company are things that bring me comfort. I’m also curious about psychology, especially dream interpretation, and I love learning new things—right now, I’m diving deep into energy markets and storage solutions for renewable energy. I’m looking for a place to stay while I travel and would love to connect with people who enjoy exchanging ideas and experiences. I’d be happy to share my knowledge, cook a meal, or help with anything around the house in return for your hospitality. Let me know if you’d be open to hosting me! Looking forward to meeting you! Best, Elif
