You will need a Schengen visa to visit Florence. I assume you have one organised already?
Florence is a perfectly safe city to visit. |
I agree, Florence is safe to visit solo, I have done so.

Florence is a small old town, very safe and with a high level of English spoken as it is a tourist Mecca. Apart from a few cultural differences (best read up with a guide book like the Rough Guide series) it should feel very comfortable. If you stay in a hotel you will find lots of leaflets and even guidance from staff, or visit tourist information https://www.firenze-tourism.com/en/f...n-offices.html on the Duomo square. There are also lots of guides who will provide you with paid for assistance, but they are not obtrusive. In Florence it is a profession and as such they don't pester potential clients.
The town is very much a walking town though there are buses and taxis. |

Florence is a perfectly safe city to visit. They are taking hourly-based charges near $50 To $100 for groups. They don't have mentioned the solo person charges. |
Florence is also a good base for exploring the nearby area. There are frequent direct trains to many popular nearby towns and cities that you can visit as day trips. These can all be visited on your own - you don't need a guided tour.
Pisa Lucca Siena (bus is easier than train) If you have questions or need help you can add more questions to this discussion - many of us have been to Florence. |
