Posted: September 25, 2025Experienced: May, 2025Hello, we had a great time in Barcelona. I wouldn't say that Barcelona is a safe country because they steal a lot or have a lot of pickpockets and you have to be very careful with your things. There are a lot of foreigners from India and other countries, which gives an unpleasant feeling of security. there are many people who harass you and then want you to pay them. My colleague and I often ate out and were very satisfied. our expenses were €1000 for everything: flight, sleep, food in restaurants and other things.
Posted: September 24, 2025Experienced: June, 2025In this town, i felt pretty safe around, I haven’t met unsafe people and the town was really gorgeous. I went to many locations in Barcelona and it was always beautiful, the people back there was pretty respectful.
Posted: August 1, 2025We only stayed one night, but it was absolutely beautiful! We arrived in the afternoon and had a lovely dinner at a local place before checking in to our hotel. We then went back out to wander- it was dark out but we felt very safe, as the streets were nicely crowded and the people were very kind (locals and tourists alike.) Lots of good shopping and cafes/dessert places.
Posted: July 29, 2025Tinto de verano was the best drink i have ever had. I highly recommend to drink it instead of beer. Pastries are super delicious in general. Raval area can be sketchy at night. Public transportations are easy to use and fairly safe

Its a relatively safe city, I do recommend to stay away from Raval at night as it does get quite creepy but in my opinion the city is very safe you just have to avoid touristic hotspots at night, if you explore taking that in mind you will definitely enjoy it

Barcelona is still a safe place, but you have to be a bit aware and don't leave your belongings anywhere. But you won't be attacked or threaten. I think bad people and bad zones are everywhere; so the only thing to know is the zones you should avoid.
Posted: October 19, 2025I was there for three weeks and it was the best time of my life! Nothing ever happened. I was walking home from the club at midnight alone and I did not have any worries if someone would attack me or do anything else. Nothing got stolen, even when many story’s from Barcelona are that people get robbed.

Barcelona is a safe city given the neighbourhood Ilive in. The most concern I feel is in regards to pickpockets, but otherwise, I feel comfortable walking around, but it is always better to be careful and keep an eye out.

Felt safe but had one incident of cat calling while walking on the street in the evening one day. Otherwise felt fairly safe to travel as a solo female traveller. Would recommend to carry pepper spray
