Is Barcelona Safe for Women?

I feel safe in general. The highest risk here is pickpockets, so keep your belongings close to you. I didn't experience any other forms of danger (such as kidnapping or catcalling) but I was warned about them by locals.

There are some places like "el raval" and "la mina" where you should avoid them at night, mostly if you are alone. About pickpockets, they are all over the place; you need to be cautious with your valuable stuff. But at least the chance of being harmed is low in general.

As a local who lived here her whole life, I never experienced robbery or being pickpocket, I’m really careful with my belongings if I’m in the middle of the city Unfortunately I’ve been cat called sometimes by men, as usual everywhere in the world. If I go out at night I never go alone! Always with at least a friend. I don’t want to risk anything But overall it’s nice (if I’m not alone I feel instantly safer)

I usually work at night shift, so I go home around 1 and 2 am on weekends, and I do feel safe. Nothing has happened to me, not even verbally. If you don't like to feel awkward staring at you and your body, don't walk near Muslim-looking men and their stores.

Be aware of your phone and purse, pickpockets are very resourceful Chances that you could be in physical danger are close to none. Take the main streets and you’ll be just fine. The city is lovely 🥰 If you don’t want to go around alone just txt me

Solo travel

Barcelona was a great experience. I stayed with a host family who were wonderful and with whom I was able to talk about many things. It is a very beautiful city with very diverse settings (beach, city, and countryside).
