Is Venice Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Solo travel experience

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

Solo travel experience

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.

Things to do: I recommend visiting these places: * Basilica of St. Mark and Piazza San Marco * Rialto Bridge * The Bridge of Sighs * Doge's Palace * Grand Canal * Acqua Alta Bookstore Safety: I felt really safe, I wasn't worried and I enjoyed this beautiful city. Recommendations: Venice is a small city made for wandering, one of the best things to do is simply to wander through all the narrow streets and see where it takes you.

Venice is pretty safe except the pickpockets. But if you stay on the mainland (Mestre or Marghera) it is better to be aware all the time. Mestre is one of the most dangerous cities in Italy. i recommend to keep you money and personal stuff very close to yourself.

The city on the water is very impressive and I've never seen anything like that before! There were SO MANY tourists. I've been there two days and on the second day I went off the main island and it felt much more authentic. I really recommended taking a swim in the sea and taking late evening public transportation boats.

Group travel experience

Too crowded in summer, but the food and the architecture was worth visiting. Expensive but delicious food. Avoid visiting on Easter holidays, it eilld be different to move around due to lots of tourists.
