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 😊

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!
Posted: April 22, 2026Its 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
