Solo travel experience
I traveled extensively solo through Italy, mainly Tuscany. It's very safe, train travel is awesome and easy, and I never felt unsafe. I definitely used my instincts. I found there were people everywhere who spoke English or could at least understand enough to help. Cinque Terre was fantastic as was Cortona, San Gimignano, Florence, Venice, and Pisa.

I traveled through northern Italy for a month last year and felt very safe. I didn’t have a lot of money to spend on hotels, so I stayed in hostels, which were wonderful. I chose the hostels based on location and reviews. I was never disappointed. However, I would recommend choosing dorm rooms that are segregated by male and female.

I spent a week solo in Florence & Milan (Airbnb in Florence, hotel in Milan) and I felt totally safe walking around. I wore a crossbody purse and didn't take it off of me even when eating meals. I didn't have any issues and it was a beautiful trip. I had a great time.
