Traveling solo in Florence, Italy ✈️ 

I traveled in Italy for a month with Florence as my home base. I made such great friends and found the city to be overall very safe.

Here’s what you need to know:

1. Where to stay - I recommend a hostel or Airbnb near the city center. Costs are relatively inexpensive and you’ll be near most major attractions. A hostel also gives you the opportunity to meet other travelers!

2. Safety - I felt very safe in Florence, but was warned of pickpockets. My biggest advice is to watch your belongings and keep your handbag near you!

3. Dining Alone - I ate alone quite often with just a book to accompany me. No restaurant was ‘off limits’ and many others were eating alone too. Pro tip: Don’t eat near the major tourist destinations. Wander a few streets away.

4. Meeting People - I met so many people just walking into local bars. Everyone was open to chatting about themselves, their history, and the city. (Conversation definitely comes easier if you’re a soccer fan.)

5. What to Do - For a couple of days, I simply walked around. There is truly history on every corner. But, given your time may be shorter, here are a list of things to do. 

- Uffizi Gallery
- Duomo 
- Ponte Vecchio
- Piazzale Michelangelo 
- Mercato Centrale
- Palazzo Vecchio
- Santa Maria Novella Church
- Mercato del Porcellino
- Palazzo Pitti & the Boboli Gardens
- Medici Chapels

Save this post for planning your future trip to Florence! 💚
