Great place to travel solo ! Really loved the atmosphere and I truly recommend traveling to Italy once in a while, please do not forget to eat some "Carbonara" (it's truly a specialty in Rome) and to see a great view of the city from via Piccolomini.
Posted: June 4, 2023Experienced: May, 2023I went there for my birthday and stayed there for 5 days. Rome at that time was extremely hot but the people were friendly and the food was really food so that made up for it. Because it js so historical there were a lot of things to see and the overall experience was amazing. However there was a lot of walking involved so I kind of needed a vacation of my vacation haha.

Rome was lovely, it’s better to go when it isn’t heaving with tourist from around the world. Please make sure you bring very comfortable shoes, OMG! So much walking I thought my feet were going to drop. I would definitely go back to St Peter’s Bascilla and spends time in the church and take the atmosphere in. Food was gorgeous.
Posted: May 8, 2023I felt safe even walking alone at night. I stayed right near Termini and never had problems. Overall I had a great experience.
Posted: April 23, 2023I went to Rome last summer for a week alone and felt quite safe, I visited Florence for the day too. I don't speak Italian but got by on a few phrases and a lot of Italian people in cities spoke English. I did a walking tour which was good, and a tour of the Vatican which I would recommend looking at and I also did like a night-time tipsy tour which I booked through Airbnb.
Posted: March 26, 2023I went on a solo trip to Rome in March 2022 and it was amazing! I felt totally safe. I booked AirBnB experiences for some unique experiences! I went on a couple of tours and ended up making friends and going for food with them! It was a very positive experience for my first solo trip. I found the scammers/street sellers were the worst on and around the Spanish Steps for some reason but they didn’t bother me much anywhere else.
Posted: February 25, 2023I did a solo trip to Rome last year and it was incredible! I spent 4 days there and recommend doing a food tour. I always felt safe as there were so many people around so I never felt alone.
Posted: February 25, 2023I absolutely loved the 10 tastings food tour. We went to 10 different spots guided by a local, plus they threw in some extra tidbits like walking through campo di fiori, stopping into the pantheon etc. I stayed at the Yellow hostel and loved it.
Posted: December 18, 2022I was in Rome alone for 23 days in Jan and felt safe. I walked around as late as midnight. When I travel alone I do stay in more touristy areas because I think that ensures more people around late at night (which is when I love walking around the most). I stayed between the Spanish Steps and Trevi Fountain which was bustling from early morning to very late at night.
Posted: November 28, 2022Rome is pretty safe. I walked home late most nights, it was dark and have had no issues. I stayed central where I was able to walk to most sites I wanted, I pretty much walked everywhere when I was there, from my airbnb to the vatican all the way to pantheon, the colosseum, etc.
