ITALY

In response to Renato Teglia, I LOVED Italy. As a single female backpacker it was very easy to get around, people were quite friendly, compared to other EU countries. There is crime in every country and Italy is no different, I'd recommend it to others definitely.

Warn tourists of the very present danger of crime. One should never go backpacking alone and women are recommended to always be accompanied by a male or even 2 male persons when walking the streets and NEVER at night. Unfortunately this is what Italy has to offer today.

Hated Florence - dirty, noisey, expensive, rude Italians. Assisi and Rome not so bad but Italians should realise there are lots of other places to go- so be a bit more welcoming to tourists and don't rip them off.

Loved Italy! Backpacked for a couple of weeks, would recommend it to anyone, esspecially those backpacking for the first time. Make sure you don't miss Pompeii, Pisa, Venice and Lago di Como (Lake Como). Oh - and obviously Rome!
