Is Florence Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Family travel

I loved Florence ! I believe it is one of my favourite places in the world. I believe Italy is a really nice area. We went to concerts, chathedrals. Food is always amazing, nothing beats italian food.

Super, I loved it. Truly a city of culture, history, and old stones. The aesthetics of an old book ❤️🔥. It was a bit much having robes distributed at the entrance of a church just because I was a cyclist with shorts just above the knee, while men walked around freely in much shorter shorts. But, well, you have to adapt to local customs and stay open-minded.

Solo travel

I really enjoyed Florence, especially the vibe for a sunset on a hill and the evening and night after. It's sizzling but in a happy and exciting way. The city is really beautiful, and really has a nice 'summer in Italy' vibe, even in February.

I loved it, there is so much to see, try and discover. Certainly in August it is quite hot and crowded, but it is a beautiful and fun city full of culture and friendly people. You have to take the time to see it in great detail.

Florence was amazing. I wandered through the streets, saw the Duomo, and explored the city. Don't forget to walk up the Vialetti del Giardino Bardini. You can have a great view of whole Florence up there. I had some pizza for lunch that was actually pretty affordable, and later bought a gelato at Venchi which was a bit pricey, but totally worth it. Definitely a city I won’t forget.

I went on a day trip with my family, we saw the main attractions (Uffizi, Cathedral, garden). I really enjoyed it and planning to go back for a longer time, for art lovers it is definitely a must have destination 😊

Went to Florence by myself very last minute and it was such an amazing trip! The food was delicious, there's so much to see you'll never get bored! It's a beautiful city! I slept in one of the cheapest and best hostel I have ever stayed in (at least for now). I don't go out much at night but I still felt pretty safe when I was And from Florence you can take the train to Pisa for a one day trip, it is very convenient and not expensive!

I feel so safe in Florence and the people here are the most helpful. I had difficulties getting into my bnb, and the locals helped me to contact the bnb owner. It is also a a great city to visit as the attractions are really near to each other, and so far I didn’t come across any pick-pockets.

One of my best travel experiences and a great place for a first solo travel trip! Florence is extremely safe, know about areas to avoid before you go (there aren’t many) and you’ll be beyond fine. I felt extremely safe wandering the streets day and night alone, and I am typically a very nervous nighttime walker. The food was amazing and after my first dinner eating solo it was no big deal, I’d read horror stories online about people getting turned away for only having a party of one so I...

I fell in love with this city. I think it was a safe and touristy city. I'd say the prices were average but the famous museum entrances were a bit expensive. The food and wine were amazing. But overall I'd love to go back there 🫠

I’ve always felt pretty safe in Florence, but I’d suggest to avoid the area of the stations (the central station, but also the one in Rifredi and Statuto) at nights. Also, Rifredi and Le Piagge are in generale places to avoid when it’s dark

Train station can be empty at night. Recommend to arrive during daytime and leave during daytime. Keep an eye on distraction pickpocketers, they work in groups of 3 or 2. Be aware of your surroundings.

Safety in Florence really depends on the areas: in the most touristic places pickpockets are quite common. Keep an eye on your purses, bags and pockets of course! Especially on trams and near the main train station! Also stay safe at night!

Its a quite safe city do you dont have to worry about it that much. Just like anyother place there are pickpockets so be careful of that. But its mostly patty crimes so it a lot more safer than other italy cities

There's more activity in the city center at night, but in general, people are very polite and respectful, at least in the short time I've lived in the area. There are a lot of tourists, so be aware of your surroundings in crowded areas, just like anywhere else in the world.

even if very small, unfortunately Florence us not the safest city. of course you have to watch out from pickpockets whenever you are in crowded areas of the center, in the station or on the buses. during the nighttime it’s not the best and it’s better to not be alone depending on the areas, especially if you are a girl or are not sober
