Florence

Florence attracts enormous numbers of visitors for its Renaissance art, architecture, and museums. This popularity also creates opportunities for pickpockets and scammers.

Areas around Santa Maria Novella station, the Duomo, Ponte Vecchio, and crowded attractions require extra attention. Tourists should keep phones, passports, and wallets inside secure bags. Florence remains generally safe, but losing valuables can quickly ruin an otherwise wonderful trip.
