Is Barcelona Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Barcelona

Barcelona City is actually not very safe. It's really important to be careful with your belongings and also not to walk alone in the center during the night. Overall, i wouldn't say it is super unsafe, but precaution is really needed. At the end, there is a lot of sexual arrasment reports.

Depending on the neighborhood you walk into but if you stay in the cool zones nothing is going to happen. Don’t go to “El Raval”. There are shootings and robberies every day. Stay in Gràcia, Clot or Corts.

Lots of pickpockets and home robberies :( my house was broken in a couple times, I have been stolen my phone 2 times and lots of friends have to. Same with bikes, I’ve lost 3 bikes in this city unfortunately :(

I would say the biggest concern when visiting Barcelona is pickpockets. Beware of your belongings in public transportation and inside clubs, especially if you look foreign. For the rest I'd say it's pretty chill, especially away from the center. At night alone try to aim for wide streets with more people to feel safest.

Barcelona is a big city and that comes with higher crime rates. Overall the biggest issue are pickpockets. Sometimes I hear stories about people being mugged or robbed. A friend of mine was roffied in a club.

I'm from Barcelona and you just have to be careful as in another city. Keep your personal belongings near you, don't leave them in another chair or floor, if you are a carefully person you don't have to worry about

Barcelona is a big city, and not everywhere is safe or dangerous. As a local, im used to seeing people that are not really kind, but I don't stop to answer them when they talk to me. I keep walking. And not always, but mostly people will help you when you need it. Of course that there are some places that at night I prefer to stay away from them because there is always someone that's dangerous, but there's also many police that'll keep you safe

Nowhere opens properly before 10:00 in the morning. If you're going to have breakfast outside, make sure to check out a bakery, they usually open early. These places also serve cold sandwiches, so you can fill your stomach economically. Most places are closed on Sundays, but there is no such thing as a ball game like in other European cities. Enough places to shop and fill your stomach are opened on Sundays. Be sure to plan your tour before you go and buy tickets for the museums you will visit online. Getting through those incredible lines and getting inside is truly priceless. The only thing you need to pay attention to is choosing the time to go to the museum. If you go at a different time than you specified when purchasing your ticket, you may not be able to see different parts of the museum. For example, because we went to Sagrada Familia 45 minutes late, they did not allow us to go up to the tower even though we had a ticket. Since everything closes early at night, you are left with dark streets. THEFT IS VERY COMMON. BE CAREFUL WITH YOUR BAG. There are a lot of people who drink drunk. Be very careful in tourist areas.

Barcelona is safe but has many pickpockets. Avoid distractions, keep valuables secure, and be cautious in crowded areas. Violent crime is rare, but stay alert, especially in tourist hotspots and nightlife areas.

I think in general it’s pretty safe but you really have to watch out for your stuff. Especially in touristic and crowded places but also especially in clubs! A lot of phones and bags get stolen here :/

Solo travel

There's a lot of possibilities for public transportation (train, car, metro, bus, tram). also nice, on the weekends there are no cars allowed in the streets. Felt unsafe walking around at night and in some clubs (even with friends)

Group travel

First time traveling to barcelona with a friend🫶🏽 Overall I felt safe, heard a lot about there being a lot of pickpockets which made me less safe. but nothing happened to us. We were there for 3 days and we managed to see everything we wanted to see - arc de triumph, sagrada familia, ciutadella park, las ramblas, barcelona beach and harbor. and it was really (!!!) worth seeing. The food was great, and the waiters and staff were so nice which made it an even better experience. but, it was more expensive than other cities, like madrid or alicante, although it could be because of the restaurants own prices and locations. we didn't really have a budget but in my opinion 3 days in barcelona wasn't that expensive. I spent around 3500 (300 euros) INCLUDING THE HOTEL which was 1300 (110 euros) for 2 nights, so the total price WITHOUT the hotel was 2200 SEK (190 euros) which went mainly to food and drinks, but also metro, taxi. We stayed at Sant Agusti Hotel which was a 2 minute walk (200 meters) to las ramblas. Our room was amazing and the breakfast as well. there was a small square just outside with a few bars and restaurants but if you want more, you just go past the square and is at las ramblas. We mainly walked, but to get to the airport and train station we took the metro or taxi (we could have walked to the train station but since we had bags we thought it would be easier to take a taxi) Overall my first Barcelona experience was great, we loved the food, the people and the places we visited. we will definitely travel to barcelona again.
