Is Valencia Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Solo travel experience

I felt safe during the evening and at night. Ive walked alone and partnered with my queer partner and it was fine. Older people might look sometimes but no one ever said anything to me. For food i recommend looking for “tapas, cerveceria, comida valenciana”, is cheaper and the quality tends to be much better. I suggest a slow nice walk in the Mercat Central and to try horchata.

Public transport is very cheap. I bought the 10 trips card for 5 euro, and it has a 90 minutes integration time. I felt very safe, but probably also because it was summer and the days are very long. Beach is amazing! At the time, there was a circus festival and I figured that circus and clowns are very famous in Valencia, recommend to check it out.

I lived in Valencia for a year for my Erasmus. When I moved there, I had little knowledge of Spanish and no fluency, and was really scared. I had an amazing experience and felt safer than ever. In some months it became another home, where I actually felt safer than in my city in Italy! Valencia is just amazing.

Solo travel experience

I was in Valencia last November, I felt very safe travelling solo during the day and going out for dinner. I usually avoid staying out after dinner in almost all cities I visit if I’m alone but that’s my personal preference. The food was really good and cheap and I loved the paella I tried in a couple of restaurants in the neighbourhood La Xerea. I stayed at the hostel “The venue Hostel”, it was well connected but a bit far from the center and there was not a lot of social life, it was quite empty at the time I visited. Overall I loved the city and I had a nice and relaxing break by myself 😊

I felt really safe! The weather was great (obviously😂) I loved all the orange trees around the city! Super beautiful green park along the city Some vegan food options available too! Paella was 👏 I’d highly recommend it!

I went on my first solo trip in September last year to Valencia and absolutely loved it. I stayed in a small hotel right by the beach. I felt safe, the weather was perfect, and the city was relatively cheap. Everyone I met was nice and friendly, but I would suggest learning some basic Spanish to make communication easier.

Valencia is amazing. I had two incredible tours, one around the city of art and science with wine/tapas tasting afterwards, and another to the mineral thermal springs, which are located just outside the city. Both were definitely the highlight of my trip. I was there for four days, felt safe, and wished I had stayed there longer.

I stayed in a mixed gender hostel and I felt safe all the time. At the time there was a corona curfew and we couldn't be outside after 10 pm. Overall fun and an artistic city with a lot of options to go out.

You can go out alone, use the public transport with no problem. Many places have a anti arrasment protocol, a safe area and they can help you. In the festivals and events you can find a purple point, a safe point if somebody is bothering you

It's one of the best place for living in Europe. It's very safety, even at night. Sometimes I walk at night at Cabecera park close to Turia and I see some people (mostly couples) there. Any accident happened with me during 1,5 years since I'm here.

Perfect city to just stroll around - the vibe is so good. Lots of cafes and bars on the streets to hang around with a lot of people even during the week. I was there at the beginning of November and the weather was perfect. Do not buy any public transportation tickets in advance, believe me you won‘t need that much because strolling around is way nicer.
