2 asian girlies spend a weekend in Rome, we were outside even until 11pm, but everything was nice! we did feel unsafe a bit, but eventually nothing bad happened, no creepy people, no pickpockets, just unfriendly looks from others lmao

I traveled by some cities in Veneto visiting museums, historical monuments and beautiful spots in nature. I loved the family that received me in their house, they gave me the local experience that I was looking for.

It's a beautiful country, rich in history. We explored all of Rome and Florence. Unfortunately, there were some petty thefts. Also, the crowds were overwhelming everywhere during this month, which made it difficult to enjoy the cities. The small vendors are also very annoying. For example, in the evening at the Pantheon, you'll be looking not at the starry sky and an architectural masterpiece, but at flashing children's toys flying in the air and having to wave off persistent vendors.

Great city with lively atmosphere, safer than I thought. Very budget friendly with tasty food, drinks and deserts. You can easily get around and to the near by attractions such as Pompeii and coast cities like Sorento.

We generally felt safe walking out in Rome. There is a great number of tourists, as well as immigrants from Bangladesh, Pakistan and India who work in restaurants, cafeterias etc. Italians generally don't know english so you should know basic words to move around. Rome is not too expensive and offers top food choices

It is overall safe especially in the city center. I like walking around the city and I still feel safe alone also in the evening or night time. Even if you are alone and it's late you should not have any problem

Even tho it has sketchy areas that seem unsafe, it's not really. Police is constantly doing rounds and, even if some vicolis may look intimidating, there's very little real danger. People avoid via Pre because it's dirty and it's mostly populated by imigrant people but it has some good authentic italian places like the salumeria place and another one with pasta and spices held by the loveliest lady. Also, two of the best Ligurian cuisine restaurants are there (l'acciugetta and pre boggion). Don't be afraid to go there(but, sure, don't hold your valuables in the back pocket)

Nothing ever happened to me, I would say is safe, but as a women is never 100% safe. I would keep an eye out near the station in Bergamo, a lot of shady people spend their time there, just don't talk to them. Overall is pretty safe. I don't go out much (especially in Bergamo, I don't live in the city but nearby), so I'm not really the best person, I think, but this is what I noticed.

Lonigo is a small city, if you spend your time in the city center, where all the bar and night life is, you are safe. I always recommend to stay with other people. If you want to go to vicenza, you will find more unsafe place, because vicenza is a much bigger city. Please go there with other people.

Safe place, quite young centre. Most inhabitated by locals or historical families. It'not a big city, easy and safe to walk alone. Quite but also with some events in the centre during the weekend. It's a small village.

About me
Hello everyone! I'm Elena from Vicenza, a small but lovely city in the northeast of Italy. I'm a curious, cheerful traveler, always ready to step out of my comfort zone. I love getting lost in nature, tasting new foods, diving into adrenaline-filled and authentic experiences, and being amazed by different cultures. When I’m not traveling, I work in project management and sales — but my heart beats for freedom, scribbled-on maps, and those random encounters that turn into unforgettable memories. I'm looking for travel buddies or a place to stay with women like me: respectful, curious, and eager to share a bit of the journey... or a crazy experience that starts with “why not?!”. 🌍✨ Now in my native language: Ciao a tutte! Sono Elena da Vicenza, una piccola ma graziosa città nel nord est dell'Italia. Sono una viaggiatrice curiosa, solare e sempre pronta a mettermi in gioco. Amo perdermi nella natura, assaggiare cibi nuovi, vivere esperienze adrenaliniche e autentiche, e lasciarmi srupire da culture diverse. Quando non viaggio, lavoro nel mondo dei progetti e delle vendite, ma il mio cuore batte forte per la libertà, le mappe piene di appunti e gli incontri casuali che diventano ricordi indimenticabili. Cerco compagne di viaggio o ospitalità da donne come me: rispettose, curiose e con la voglia di condividere un pezzetto di cammino.. o una folle esperienza che inizia con "ma sì, perché no?!". 🌍✨
