Planning tips for solo travelers to Italy
Safest destinations in Italy for single travelers
Across Italy, single adventurers—regardless of gender, age or identity—can explore freely. For women traveling alone, destinations across Italy are welcoming and safe, thanks to low violent-crime rates, well-lit public spaces, and reliable policing. Historic centers like Florence and Bologna combine charming cobblestone alleys with English signposts, efficient train networks, and staffed tourist offices that ease language barriers and boost confidence for first-time visitors. Even smaller gems such as Verona offer a tranquil, walkable layout and friendly locals, making solo strolls both secure and rewarding.
LGBTQ+ travelers find warm welcomes in Italy’s major cities. Rome boasts vibrant queer districts—San Lorenzo and Pigneto—alongside cultural landmarks and Pride events that foster inclusion. In Milan’s Porta Venezia, rainbow flags flutter over bars and cafes, reflecting the city’s progressive spirit, while Tuscany’s towns like Siena and Florence host LGBTQ+-friendly B&Bs and guided tours.
Cost of traveling to Italy alone
Traveling independently in Italy can cost as little as USD 90 per day for budget-minded explorers to USD 600 per day in luxury accommodations. Over 7–10 day holidays can run anywhere between USD 900 to USD 4,500+ (flights excluded), depending on whether you’re looking for a budget or luxury tour in Italy. At Bookmundi, our Italy solo tours start at USD 65 per person per day, including hotels, group transport, expert guides, selected meals, but more often tours are offered from USD 120 per day and up. If you are looking for a single room, expect a supplement on tour prices.
