It’s a normal, small city but depends on the neighborhood and the hour you walk around alone could be dangerous. But taking some precautions and being cautious it’s enough for being safe here. Alicante is a beautiful city with good people in general, so don’t be afraid.
Posted: August 11, 2025I went with my younger sister . We were feeling very safe but we were afraid of the main beach in Alicante because I heard there are many robbers and If you leave your stuff alone in the middle of the beach it can be stolen

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.

I felt safe, got catcalled a lil bit because of being a racialized woman. But still. Great experience and nice host! Would recommend visiting in a day. I didnt get to try foods since I have little budget.
