I haven't had any problems in my 22 years living here. I live in a good neighbourhood, "Barrio Salamanca" so the only crime you could face here is someone stealing your wallet or phone if you are careless like in any part of the world.

I have lived here for almost 20 years and I have never experienced anything wrong or bad. Sometimes I use public transport at night alone and bus & metro are really safe, most drivers will help you if you need anything. I have also walked alone before sunrise and it's even quieter. Of course, there are some areas which are not recommended and not even locals go there, but that happens everywhere. Enjoy my city!
Posted: June 19, 2025I felt safe walking around. I have never experienced anything disturbing, but I have heard some unpleasent stories. The only tapes of crimes I would be actually concerned about are: car robbery and bike stealing.

It is safe. The only thing: if you go for a long walk and see strange people around change direction. There are some areas that not even us go. But almost all city is safe, public transport is ok, you can walk at night. Just be aware.
Posted: June 16, 2025Lleida is not very safe, to say the least. There are always bad people roaming around the streets and doing terrible things, like burning stuff, stabbing people out of the blue, etc. Almost every day and night, there is some trouble happening.

It's not as bad as sometimes people tell but you need to be cautious especially with your belongings. I recommend you to stay alert if you are walking late in the streets but as you should do in every city.

I arrived very late in the night, it was not a good idea because the public transport doesn't work all night Only buses and they come every 30min So, preferably come early I felt safe walking late afternoon/early in the night, I was the entire trip alone The beaches are not very clean 😞 But I find a couple of them a bit outside Alicante and they were better
Posted: June 12, 2025Experienced: July, 2022My experience in Marbella was one of the best so far. The beach, the streets, the views and everything about Marbella was great. I booked an aparment on airbnb and it was so cheap and only 15 minutes far from the Old Town. I loved how safe and peaceful the city streets were. Puerto Banus is one of my favorite in Marbella but Old Town remains on top of it.
