Dolomites, Solo travel
Very few hostels but very clean and accessible. Amazing for women to try solo but would recommend having a car to get around for ease. After mid october a lot of places close so plan accordingly but dolomiti buses reach most places

Capri, Solo travel
I booked a room in Anacapri with a swimming pool and it was a wise choice because there are no many places to swim. Ooor you need to pay an expensive cocktail to have access to the sea, you are in Capri, « Expensive » is a part of this island and Anacapri side is better than Capri side for the price. Even if you want to eat an ice cream or a pizza. It’s a safe place but citizens can look rude at you because of the massive tourism it’s understandable and others can give you a big smile if you start talking with a « Buongiorno ! » I like their smile :] When you arrived don’t rush into any restaurants at the harbour search for the lowest prices or small stands it will be the best. Bring your gourds and some cash for the bus !

This country is truly amazing. I left a piece of my heart there! The people were so kind and friendly!! I cant believe how beautiful italian people are ❤️❤️ Its also safe, except for the night walking it just made me uncomfortable. Do not exceed 9 pm out in my personal opinion unless you have company. Otherwise italy is a must go!

i felt really safe in my solo trip around north italy!! i would definitely recommend some city viewpoints in turin and verona, also locals are really kind and helpful, trip i think also depends on where you are staying but transportation was good and on time!

Before visiting, I'd read that Milan was not the highlight of most people's Italy trips, but my friend and I loved it. Getting around using the metro was easy, and we saw quite a lot in a couple days while working through jet lag. We took care in selecting restaurants and ended up with great food, including a visit to Bar Luce. Went vintage/resale shopping, saw an opera, visited the cathedral, went to Sforza castle museum, and some small painted churches we happened upon. We stayed near Milano Centrale station for easy arrival/departure by train, and easy access to the metro. It was a lot of fun!

It safe you don’t need to worry if you travel in big cities like Milan maybe for Gil’s can be a little dangerous in the night so it’s better if you took taxis or uber if you go clubbing or moving during night.

Vicenza
Vicenza is a pretty safe city. Walking alone during the day is perfectly safe, after dark in the late night I would only avoid the train station area. I have to say that there is often police around just to overlook the area so it's really uncommon that something bad could happen. In 34 years that I live here I've always felt perfectly safe going around alone.

Trento
Trento has some areas where you need to be careful as all cities. Especially around the station (Piazza Dante). Everywhere else in the city centre is very safe. Other areas to be aware of are Piazza Santa Maria Maggiore and via Brennero.

Genoa
Genoa is generally safe and peaceful, especially during the day. The city center and tourist areas are fine, but train stations and some narrow alleys can feel unsafe at night, so it’s better to stay alert and avoid walking alone late.

It's overall safe, avoid travelling to Centrale, Shady public parks, Lumpungnano, San Siro side after 8pm. For robbery, they are really clever, will snatch your purse in Lumpungnano and run away or they might sneak in a bar, pick your bags and leave.
