Is Barcelona Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Barcelona

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

Barcelona is not a safe city to be honest, there's a lot of harrashment but is usually not from locals, as is a city with a bunch of different cultures, you find a lot of different people who think they can do what they want...

If you stay where are a tons of people is quit safe, but always watch your back and never go alone during night or in a dangerous streets. But, I think that during the day and even if you go alone, nothing will happen, but remember to always have your bag in front of you.

It really depends on the zone you're visiting, the time of the day, if there are fesitvals or events etc... If you mind your business it won't happen anything. Locals are always friendly if you need help :)

Friendly, the worst that can happens is a pickpocket in public transport. If you walk alone at night in Barcelona there is always people and everyone minds their own business. Obviously you have always to be careful at night but as any other place in Spain.

Pickpocketing is a common concern, there are areas where you should be more cautious, especially in crowded tourist spots. For a female solo traveler, Barcelona is generally safe, but I would avoid walking alone through quiet streets

I would say that you are very likely of getting robbed in Barcelona if you are not going carefully (keep an eye on your belongings and be careful while riding the metro when it’s packed) and just don’t go to dangerous places like Raval or la Mina. But overall I would say that it’s pretty safe for travelers and it’s a beautiful city

Since Barcelona has some really touristic areas, that have been abandoned by locals, it’s has created the perfect environment for pickpockets to shine. However, there is a lot of things to see besides the gentrified areas that are very interesting and safer, and moreover, it just takes from one to be aware of your belongings and possessions to keep them safe.

Its safe but there are a lot of pickpockets. In Barcelona its not so safe at night in some neighborhoods, specially in El Raval. There are many good places to visit near Barcelona. Near Barcelona it's safer.

Couple travel

My gf and I felt very safe as a lesbian couple traveling Barcelona. The local homosexual scene is very big and welcoming, we found some lesbian party completely by accident and had a wonderful time there. The food was amazing and prices were OK. Overall it was a wonderful experience. 🩷

Group travel

I visited Barcelona in July 2024 and had a great time. I felt safe throughout my stay. I went swimming and visited the stunning Sagrada Família, which is definitely worth seeing. Most of my time was spent shopping and exploring the vibrant streets. The summer weather was hot but perfect for enjoying the city. I stayed near Plaça de Catalunya, which made it easy to get around using the metro. I recommend checking out local markets like La Boqueria and grabbing some tapas. Overall, a fun and relaxed trip—I’d definitely go back!
