Honestly, the first time I've done so much eating on a trip lol I visited quite a bit of Italy, but Rome remains such a precious memory for me. Me and my friend got lost at Termini the first night and got help from the very handsome Italian police hahaha apart from that, everything was so beautiful, I'd go back in a heartbeat 💓

One of the most beautiful cities I've seen so far. It is true saying that it is open air musem. I've spent days walking around and admiring the view. Altare della Patria made the strongest impression. Will come back for sure.

I visited Florence, Verona and Crema and it was a beautiful experience. I went with 2 friends and we stayed in airbnbs. Florence was stunning with so much to do and see, great if you love art and history and sightseeing. Verona was more relaxed and chill, with beautiful views and restaurants. Great for fans of Romeo and Juliet and young travellers who are looking for some nice evening life in the city centre. Crema was super chill, not much to do but great if you are a CMBYM fan looking to do...

In the day it was a really nice place but in the night it was weird to travel in the public transportation. They close the metro after 10pm and a lot of people meet in the surroundings with alcoholic drinks and smoking so it's better to get an uber.

It was hot and full, and scammers everywhere, but aside from the populated areas, the views outside were very nice and the food was great! The people we interacted with were also very nice, and helpful whenever we needed.

I never get tired of this city. Beautiful art, history, so many sights to see. Enjoyed sight seeing with the city sight seeing bus, the red one. Saw the sights, ate the food. Had a great time. Every time I arrive and every time I leave, the airport feels like a second home 😊

Hey, Turin is great for solo traveling, but at night might be unsafe near train stations, so just mind your surroundings. Overall i lived here for 3 years and i consider it pretty safe for women who travel alone

I'm going to Palermo every year as I have family there, and it's always a nice trip ! Apart the garbage everywhere, this city has so much to offer, and has a lot of history ! Also the beaches around are wonderful but there is lot of people in the summer time..But if you come by the end of september/debute october it is less crowded and more enjoyable :)

This summer, I and my two girlie friends went on a trip to southern italy. It was really nice overall, but I didn’t feel safe sometimes. It’s 50 percent if the bus comes, just another mindset hihi. We slept in various airbnbs and it was stressful sometimes, when we discovered know where do we sleep at 5pm

It's better to walk around with some friends or you can send a dm on Instagram to Nottambula group: they'll lead you to bus stop during the night and are very friendly. Be careful especially next to Train Station.

I had a very bad experience with Milan since day one and maybe i have trauma from this city until now i got stolen in my first day in Milan at Malpensa airport and second one was Attempted theft at the metro station. Really everyone should be focus 24/7

Me and a friend stayed in Milan for 4 days and did all the travelling by bus or by foot. Even though we lived close to the train station, we felt safe in every moment (day&night) to walk around. There was no catcalling etc. when walking with out outfits to the club/ bar at 12pm. and back at 4am.

At night, I wouldn’t recommend that women wait at bus stops that are somewhat out of the way—not near larger, busy streets. Some intoxicated homeless people can become aggressive (I’ve experienced this).

In general it is safe, but in some areas it's better not to be alone at night. It can be full of homeless people sleeping on the ground or some "drug dealers" gathering. So I personally recommend to avoid walking alone in Bolognina district and some quiet and narrow streets in the center and around via Zamboni. Bologna has a good night life and some places are full of students and people at night, but if you are traveling alone you should be careful late night

If you always keep your eyes open and avoid certain areas that might be a bit less nice (like the station area), it's quite safe. You can easily go out even in the evening without being bothered. I recommend it for those who want to take just one trip.
