Barcelona is divided in many neighborhoods, the barrios. Each barrio got their own level of safety. Be aware in Raval and Poble Sec, you can walk alone during night being “ok”, but always keep an eye, there are some alleys you wanna avoid. Theft is well known all across the city. Never leave your phone alone unguarded on the table.

barcelona feels very safe to me. i am usually not worried about going home by myself at night. the metro system is also great during the night time. the only thing that is concerning are the pickpockets, you have to watch your stuff carefuly

I have had 1 bad experience in my time here, overall if you stay alert and mindful you are okay. I thankfully haven’t lost my phone but there is a big pickpocket and bag robbery experience here. Overall it’s general sexist behavior like cat calling.

I believe it's safe but you have to pay attention sometimes depending on the zone you're in, as in hospitalet or les rambles (where they try to take profit of tourists). Also i don't feel completely safe at night even though all the times I felt harassed at the street were broad daylight.

Let’s talk about how safe Barcelona is! If you blend in like a local, nothing should really happen — but pickpocketing is super common. So keep your phone, wallet, and money in a safe place. Even locals get robbed sometimes, so just be extra careful with your stuff. As for sexual harassment or assault — it shouldn’t happen, but never say never. If you’re going out drinking, try not to go alone, and don’t get so drunk that you lose awareness. If you stay sharp, you’ll most likely be totally fine. I’ve been partying in the city for years and never had any issues. Walking alone in the city? It’s okay, just like in most places — be aware of your surroundings. And if you can, try to get home by taxi or from a nearby public transport stop. I don’t want to scare anyone — Barcelona is a safe city! You just have to stay alert, like in any big city.

Its a beautiful city , with a lot of history. Definitely worth visiting. Be aware pickpockets and muggers. Me and my family went in holiday to Barcelona two years ago . We were ready for pickpockets but not muggers , especially that I was 16 at the time with a little sister . My parents and me and my sister were heading back to our hotel on a busy well lit street directing off of gothic quarter. We were walking normally , surrounded by civilians in bars and restaurants, and out of nowhere three big men violently jumped my dad and me( a child at the time!) and stole his watch and my bag. Bearing in mind there were police at the end of the street and many people were around us. Beware of dodgy people as you cant let your guard down even if your more vulnerable or surrounded by others. As a young female traveling with my family I didnt feel safe after that incident, as if muggers are comfortable to strike a child in the presence of many others, then what else are they capable of in a more secluded spot.

Is a cool city but hv to always aware of yr own belongings . People are really nice here but better learn a bit Catalan or Spanish before you come here to show some respect to the local enjoy your trip here

As all cities there is some neighborhoods like Raval or la Mina where is better not to go alone during the night but all the other neighbors are pretty safe. But we are having a big problem with pickpockets around the busy areas and the metro.

Aside from the pick pockets, its a fairly safe city. Just follow your gut and the advices you would follow in any european country, and u will be fine!!! Enjoy your time I’m Barcelona girls!! I ll be happy to meet u

Solo travel

This was my first solo travel. I visited important places. I got lost in the streets of Barcelona and it was a great feeling. I recommend you to try La Pepita restaurant, they have very delicious tapas. I ate paella at Colom restaurant, it was delicious. I met my friend Kamola who is a solo traveler from this application and we went to Montjuic together. In short, I had a great time in Barcelona. Of course, I would like to visit Spain again.

Group travel

Generally, I feel safe, but sometimes it can be scary. We went on a group trip, so I didn't have any problems with safety. We couldn't buy drinks at the market, but I'm not sure why. Overall, I liked the experience and would visit again.
