Like most resort towns in Italy, Taormina is a safe place where you can enjoy your time with your loved ones. The people here are very open and friendly, and the streets are clean and beautiful. The advice regarding behavior boils down to common truths: it's better for a solo girl not to travel alone. Be prepared for persistent attention from Italians. However, in crowded places, pickpockets can still operate.
There are many local residents with noisy children in the parks, so if you're looking for solitude, it's better to go further away. Also, don't forget about the passionate and reckless drivers who speed through the streets of Taormina.
