How safe is Alicante for women?
There 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.

Spain is in general a safe country. You always need to be cautious as you never know, but I have walked home after a party night and never happened anything to me. Anyways, you can always take a taxi, they are safe. Same as the rest of the public transport. You can get robbed, that is more frequent. Especially at the beach it is important not to leave your personal belongings alone.
Posted: June 5, 2024I’ve lived before here for 6 months. Me and my friends used to go out every weekend until 7am. People talk to you but never disrespect you. They’re really social and open to connecting. I’ve never felt unsafe in any moment as long as you are familiar with their culture

Amazing, friendly environment. Locals help you with learning the language. People may be flirtatious but will respect you and you will feel safe. Nice food, may take longer to prepare. Welcoming locals

Awesome city with great city-beach and wonderful culture and winter climate! Endless restaurants and yummy fresh fruits and veggies. Spain’s largest indoor market as well as neighborhood mercadillos. Highly recommended for city-with-beach travel 🌟

I had a great time in Alicante ! I will recommend to visit the Santa Barbara castle, the central market, l'esplanada d'Espanya and of course eat a paella ! Alicante is a lovely city that can be explored in 2-3 days. So if you got more time than that, i'll recommend to go to Altea which is, in my opinion a must see!
