Alicante is Super safe, nothing to fear of! 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙 You can walk everywhere, even at night, it's really a good place to be if you are a woman travelling alone, no worries to have about this, I even go out alone in clubs from time to time.
Posted: May 16, 2025I felt super safe these past two weeks, even when I went to the bus stop at 2am. I also usually walk at night and I never felt unsafe. Regarding the use of my cell phone, I never felt like I was being watched, not at all.

Alicante is a safe city. you have nothing to be worried about the safety. I have been living my whole life in this city and I have never had a problem, you just need to take logical precautions like in any other city

Hello, i am from Alicante and I have always felt safe. If you’re at a party or the beach, just keep an eye on your bag, but nowadays, that’s something you need to do everywhere. In the city center and nearby areas, you won’t feel like it’s an unsafe place or surrounded by people with bad intentions. There is a very good atmosphere. :)
Posted: January 21, 2025There is the occasional catcall but nothing to be worried about. The centre is so safe. It’s always busy so if anything happens there’s always someone to ask for help. I felt very safe at night time walking home too. There are some not so safe areas but there isn’t really any need to go there if you stay in the centre it’s all just houses.

I went to Alicante on a day trip and it was a great experience. Had fun seeing the city and relaxing on the beach. Food was delicious and affordable. Gelato was really good from this place called Livante. There isn’t much to do though apart from climb the steps to the top of the mountain fort and see the view of the city.
Posted: May 29, 2025Alicante is a small, very beautiful city. I recommend it for going to the beach and running along the rambla. I felt very safe and everything is close by. I use buses to travel distances greater than 6 km, otherwise I get around on foot.
