Is Venice Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Solo travel experience

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 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.

Family travel experience

I loved Venice! Despite all the tourists you can find quiet places, you just have to get away from the typical tourist routes. I felt very safe. The food is so yummy - do some research to not end in a tourist trap though.

It was super - so much art - about food: I only take Cicchettino and mozzarella in carrozza… outside so expensive - so much beautiful the sea and the quiet - it’s really really safe, like a bubble - Venice accent is so funny - you louse yourself on the bridges, are many … - it was unique, I will return

Felt safe as a solo female traveller, I stayed in a hostel and made a really nice group of friends - although watch out for pick pockets! Really pretty city and relatively inexpensive if you stay away from the busier and more touristic areas - go down little side streets and you’ll find some hidden gems for food and drink. Would recommend finding a group if you want a gondola ride as it was €100 which isn’t too bad when split between 5 people. Overall a really lovely city.

I was in Venice in February. I felt very safe there and it was easy to get around the city using water buses. I stayed in an AirBnB over the Grand Canal and the street it was on was always busy with many shops, cafes, and restaurants, so it was easy to go out for dinner in the evening and sit in a cafe, watching the world go by. Great city to walk around.

I visited Venice alone and didn't feel unsafe. I was never out really late, but I didn't feel like I had to hurry back before dark. After dusk, all the bridges and narrow streets of Venice looked the same, so I used different things as landmarks to make sure I was heading in the right direction - statues, shop displays, etc.

Solo travel experience

I went on a solo trip to Venice and stayed at the Anda hostel and, honestly, it was amazing. I felt very safe there, it was clean, there were many social events, and it was also cheap. Generally speaking, I felt very safe in Venice as a woman traveling alone, however, it was very easy to get lost in Venice, but I think that was the best part.

venice is a very safe city. Not having cars it makes me feel much more safer compared to other cities. I often walk alone even in the night and I almost always felt safe. Anyway you need to pay attention to your belongings, there could be thieves stealing stuff around!

Venice is very turistic and very safe. If you go outside of the island, like Mestre the safety is much worse, totally not raccomand it but in the island you can walk around alone also in the dark and no problem!

Solo travel experience

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!

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
