How safe is Italy for solo female travelers?

Initially I was underwhelmed by Rome.. I stayed quite central by the trevi fountain, seeing the amount of people trying to take photos and the chaos was a bit much. I spent the first 2 days exploring Vatican and areas close to me. Vatican was beautiful to explore. I would advise you speak to the tour guide before buying a scarf of the local vendors. The best part of my trip was the colloseum at night, it lit up, the weather was amazing, street performers were playing the violin. I could've sat...

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

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.

there are many strange guys who feel free to harass people by shouting, It's not so safe if you're a solo traveler, try to always stay with someone or in a group. especially in stations, there are many dangerous things going around

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.

I’m Paola, a psychotherapist taking a sabbatical year, and I've decided to embark on a solo journey to India for an introspective experience. 🌿 I've always loved traveling and have visited many countries, but this is my first time traveling alone! My English isn't perfect, but I can easily communicate, understand, and make myself understood. I'm looking forward to connecting with fellow travelers to share parts of this journey, exchange experiences, or simply enjoy a quiet chat together!"
