Lovely country, safe environment and easy to meet new people. Plenty good voices overall. Lots of sightseeing opportunities, I went to Rome, Milan and Amalfi coast. Would love to visit again. I don’t speak Italian but could easily manage with just English.
Posted: March 2, 2024I travelled through Italy with my sister. We felt pretty safe most of the time. We visited Venice, Rome, Florence and Milan. Especially in Rome and Florence there was a lot of vegan food to enjoy. Always look out for student discount and sometimes you have to book museum tickets etc. in advance. Once a month there is usually a day where you can get into a lot of museums for free.
Posted: February 18, 2024Experienced: July, 2021It was a wonderful experience in all. I was meant to go with a friend but her passport didn’t arrive in time so it turned into a solo trip! I felt mostly safe but I did have to take precautions in Naples and I did experience some catcalling and unwanted attention in Milan, My total trip for 6 days cost roughly £1000, including flights, accommodation food and spending money. Being as I went in June, I spent a lot on staying hydrated and sun cream, so something I would consider if you are of fair skin (I am not, and I struggled even!) and are planning to travel to places like Rome in the summer when temperatures hit 35• when I was travelling. Overall an experience I will treasure for life! I would highly highly recommend. Italy is a beautiful country with kind people ❤️
Posted: February 15, 2024We were traveling with my friend's bus and spent a total of about 2 weeks in Italy. We started our time in Italy wonderfully, driving from Vienna through small towns like Belluno, charming little cities like Feltre, and the beautiful mountains near Tarvis. Despite traveling by bus, we spent a night with a lovely older couple in Belluno, enjoyed delicious pasta, drank wine, and listened to stories and tips about the area. A beautiful evening that I won't forget quickly :) Of course, we also spent a day in Venice, where we were near, cheaper than expected (definitely walk through the side streets, you'll almost be alone!) and unforgettable. We rounded off the trip over Lake Garda and Lake Maggiore. Overall, the time in Italy was beautiful. Shopping may not always be cheap, but it's not particularly expensive either. And especially espresso, at one of the many bars, was always delicious and affordable :) In Italy, you can feel 100% safe, even in small towns, while swimming in the lake, or in larger cities. We'll be back soon to explore Tuscany. I'm excited!! ☀️
Posted: February 2, 2024I traveled independently throughout Italy, mainly Tuscany. It is very safe there, traveling by train is fantastic and easy, I never felt unsafe. I definitely relied on my instinct. I discovered that everywhere there were people who spoke English or at least understood enough to help. Cinque Terre was fantastic, as was Cortona, San Gimignano, Florence, Venice and Pisa.
Posted: October 2, 2023I traveled through northern Italy for a month last year and felt very safe. I didn't have much money to spend on hotels, so I stayed in hostels, which were great. I chose hostels based on location and reviews. I was never disappointed. However, I would recommend choosing dormitory rooms, which are divided into male and female.
Posted: September 21, 2023I spent a week alone in Florence and Milan (Airbnb in Florence, hotel in Milan) and I felt completely safe walking around the area. I wear a bag over my shoulder and did not take it off even while eating meals. I had no problems, and the trip was beautiful. I had a great time.
Posted: September 21, 2023I went on a solo trip to Italy for 10 days and visited Milan, Venice, Florence, Positano, and Rome, staying in each city for 2 days. I never felt unsafe. I noticed once in the metro in Milan that a certain young man was eyeing me, but when he noticed that my baggage was locked and not an easy target, he walked away. You just have to be aware and cautious, like everywhere else. Every place was magical and unique in its own way, and I highly recommend visiting them.
Posted: September 19, 2023I traveled alone through Italy last summer and I didn't speak Italian. I was in Turin, Venice, Naples, Lucca, Pisa, and Florence, everywhere was completely safe and I had an incredibly nice time.
Posted: August 1, 2023I took a trip to Italy on my own and it was a wonderful adventure. Learning how to use the trains was complicated for me. I felt very safe, but I did not stay out in the city late since I was alone. Italians are very friendly and helpful - many of them speak English in the cities.

Best experience of my life! Lived in Italy for 3 years, in Chioggia, near Venice. Parents purchased a business and I got to travel a lot as countries are so close to each other! Met all my family, made life long friends and got to experience the culture first hand!

Overall our trip to Italy was amazing. We went to Santorini, Amalfi coast, Venice, Florence, Lake Como and Cinque Terre. It was amazing weather in October, and not too crowded. Venice was the only place we found crowded. Food was amazing. It could be a little expensive there, but it is definitely worth it. Highly recommended.
