Safety:Safe

Vicenza is generally safe for solo female travelers. It's a smaller city with little crime, especially in the city center where there are many people around. It's friendly and walkable and locals are welcoming. However, like any place, it's always important to stay alert, especially at night or in less crowded areas. Always keep your belongings secured and don't venture into isolated areas without company or without letting someone know where you are.

Transport:Moderate

Vicenza is relatively straightforward to navigate, as it can offer a mix of walkability and public transportation. The city center is quite compact and ideal for walking. For attractions outside the center, there is a reliable, though sometimes infrequent, bus system. However, information in English might be limited and it can be somewhat challenging to figure out the routes and schedules. It offers moderate mobility for solo female travellers.

Things to do:Interesting

Vicenza is a vibrant historic city with plenty to offer. As a UNESCO world heritage site, it boasts sublime Palladian architecture, such as the famous Teatro Olimpico and Basilica Palladiana. There are various traditional eateries and wine bars where you can taste the local cuisine. Shopping is also quite enjoyable with a mix of high-end boutiques and local artisan shops in Piazza dei Signori. Vicenza's location also makes it perfect for day trips to other cities in the Veneto region.

Food:Above average

Vicenza offers a palate-pleasing array of culinary delights, from traditional Italian cuisine to international dishes. You'll find everything from mouth-watering pasta to epicurean seafood. The city is well-known for its selection of wine and cheese. However, vegetarian or vegan options can be limited in some places, hence a slight deduction. Overall, the variety and quality of food is excellent.

Budget:Moderate

Vicenza can be moderately budget-friendly. While it is possible to find modestly priced accommodation and food, costs can quickly add up due to entrance fees for various attractions. It's slightly more affordable than larger Italian cities, yet more expensive than rural regions.
