I found the city safe. I was on my own during the day, and even in tourist areas, I didn't feel like I was at risk of being pickpocketed. In the evening, I was with another girl, but I didn't feel in danger. I’d say it’s best to stay cautious, but there isn't any real danger.

We were at sea every day. The water was very nice and the beach was nice and shallow to go in on. There's also a port in the town, which allows you to visit Venice, Murano, and other islands. The old town of Chioggia, a few minutes away, is definitely worth seeing

Italy 🇮🇹 I went to Florence and Pisa, and they were some of the places where I loved the architecture and the food. I would definitely go back ☺️ The vibe you feel there is spectacular, one of the best experiences I have ever had.

It was amazing. I went with my boyfriend and we booked an Airbnb with a mindblowing view on one of the villages and the sea. We visit all the villages and the walk was always surprisingly easy. If you have a basic physical condition It’s perfect.

Italy was my first country to visit alone. I came here for my master's but never knew I'll fall in love with the beauty. Everything is structured and made with so much precision and meaning. Each city has it's own story to tell. ❤️

The museums and torres are wonderful and there is a high selection of bars and cafes which aren't too expensive and fairly reasonably priced. However, most of the entertainment is based on history so there is not loads for party-lovers

It was one of my favorite travel because It was so beautiful, the beauty of the Lake, the gardens, the culture, the olds houses, and the cute villages. And when the night comes the lake view is illuminated, so beautiful !!

Just be careful in crowded places. when the bus is full, put your backpack in front. Other than that it's a pretty safe city. I can walk alone at night in most areas and I can return home late around 3-4am safely.

I felt pretty safe in Florence but i was also staying in a touristy area and didn't Go Out in the middle of the night. Pickpockets exist in every larger City but I didn't experience any crimes while I was there

I say it depends on the area of course, my uni is in Parioli and it is very safe along with the Trieste, but around the stations especially during the night it is better not to be alone. Be careful with the picpockets anytime of the day in the touristic places and metro.

Feels very safe, even at nigth. less safe in some areas, and would stay away from Dark alleys and alone in empty areas anyway, but compared to other cities the overall feeling was safe! No problem walking at nigth in crowded streets and areas.

Honestly, I've been living there only for a month, but in general the city looks pretty safe. There're some homeless people on the street, and during the night you generally don't feel very safe because there's almost no one outside, but all in all it's pretty fine.

Monza Is not safe around Corso Milano and the stations for the ladies, lots of pedophiles, man who drink, bad homeless and perverts. You will get catcalled and there are changes that people would just start to follow you in the middle of the day. The big park is safe but in the little play areas you can find kids smoking weed but they are usually chill as long as you don't act weird and scare them. Be careful of how you dress cause you can get a lot of hate and inappropriate comments. Lissone...

About me
Hi! I'm Alice Maia, 🌊I've lived in Genova all my life and I love meeting new people. I will gladly chaperone you around🚶🏻♀️whenever I'm available, give indications and eventually host🛌🏻 if it's possible for me and my family. I really enjoy meeting new people from all around the world and chatting💬 about literally everything. Also I have cats! Putting it here because I keep forgetting people I host might be allergic😅 🎯I love travelling solo, although I don't often get the chance. I'm very interested in knowing how other people experience life, I like to know what you think of my culture and my city, and I will probably ask a lot about yours too, if you agree to! Basically I love sharing stories, ideas and everything else!🗣️ I feel like travelling and making friends should be for everyone, so feel free to contact me if you have any particular concern (e.g. you have a disability, are part of a minority and are concerned about your safety etc) Among other things, here's a few of my interests! - I study Environmental Sciences🌍🌎🌏 - I'm a climate justice activist📢 - I love volunteering as a Scout Leader in one of our local groups⚜️ I've been a scout all my life since I was 8 and I love this world, so if we share this experience let's talk about it! I know it can be very different being a scout around the world:) Other things that might be interesting: - I try to live as sustainably as possible, including following a vegetarian or vegan diet🧆 - I have a chronic illness that means my energy levels can vary a lot from one day to the other, so I'll need to plan anything carefully to be sure I can make it through the day🔋 - I'm neurodivergent🧠 - I'm all about inclusion and accessibility, so feel free to tell me about any of your needs or boundaries!🫂
