Solo Female Travel in Florence

Solo travel experience

Nice city, lot of activities to do to discover the culture (muséum, pallazo, garden...(. The food is good if you avoid tourist trap. Super safe during the evening, I walked alone easily. I also recomand to take the train to discover small cities nearb y (Siena, Pisa(

I went to Firenze last year and it was so beautiful and a nice city. I would recommend it for sure. You can visit awesome museums although keep In mind that in Italyyou have to pay most of the activities. So it can be a bit expensive.

Group travel experience

I absolutely love Florence! It was my 2th time visiting and I will come back over and over again. I suggest just getting lost in the city, follow your intuition and you will end up at the most cosy corners, impressive buildings and squares full of music! And you have to go watch the sunset at Piazzale Michelangelo!!!

Solo travel experience

Solo travelling here was amazing. I stayed at a small hotel next to the train station and met up with Couchsurfing people. A woooonderful group of human beings and we instantly clicked. Florence has a lot to offer, many attractions are free to visit and the food is insanely good, even the vegan options ROCK! I always felt safe and it was very easily accessible by train.

Solo travel experience

I was in Florence for 3 days, went full solo (didn’t join any walking tours etc..) felt super safe. Also no issues eating by myself, there were many fellow solo female travelers! be sure not to talk to strangers on the main sites though as there are a lot of scammers.

Group travel experience

I felt safe in Florence because there are a lot of tourists but because of that you have to be aware that there are a lot of pick pockets, you have to take care of your personal things, if you go out at night be careful and try to stay alert

Couple travel experience

We were safe. Expirience Florence by walking at evening, it is totaly different from daylight, verry romantic. Food is meat and stake, no vegan or vegetatian. Darling you are in Florence- steak is our food- that is what they say😂 We spend 2 days in Florence, it was about 100€ for stay at pansion. After we took car and go around Tuscany.

Wonderful city. Felt safe walking around, evening in the evenings. Plenty to see just by walking around. Lots a pubs and cafe’s where people are friendly and conversations started. Probably my favorite city we visited during our 4 weeks in Italy. I would go back as a solo traveler and feel completely safe and welcome.

It was quite safe to travel in florence. The food was really delicious I wish I can stay more. But I will go that place amd visit again. It is not a cheap city but you can eat a lot top. Boboli garden was such a dream. Everybody should visit

Family travel experience

Amazing trip to Florence with my family. We have visit the Boboli Garden and Costume Gallery. The steakhouse was pretty good. We enjoyed it! There were too much people and we felt ourselves a little bit uncomfortable because of it, but nevertheless everything was brilliant

Very beautiful place. Have lived here for 2 months so far and haven’t had any bad experiences. Public transport is easy and it’s a very walkable city. I definitely would advise to look after your purse or bag though as anywhere in italy is known to have pickpocketers.

Most of the time, you'll be safe but someone with bad intentions could take advantage of you if you appear lost or drunk. In the crowded areas in the city centre there could be some pickpocket. During the night avoid railway station area and narrow and dark alleys. Cascine park only during the day.

Florence is a small but charming city, full of art and culture. You can visit it in 4 days, but there are lots of other places to see nearby! You can cross Tuscany in less than 3 hours and it's full of beautiful nature, good food and culture. There are literally so many good restaurants to try, but I recommend cheap "taverna" or "osteria" outside the city center, they have the real Italian food!!😉 It's not expensive if you avoid "tourists traps", but you have to find an accomodation outside the centre, in "Campi Bisenzio" or "Calenzano" for example. They are well connected, with trains every 30 minutes and you'll be in the city centre in 15 minutes. The car is not essential to visit Florence, even because you can't access the city centre with it and parking is expensive. Busses, trains and tram are functional. But if you want to visit Tuscany you'll need a car, especially for places like Chianti and Maremma or the coast. We are a welcoming country, so don't hesitate to ask for more information!!
