In general, it is a peaceful and safe place, there are only some spots that are considered dangerous but not in the big cities or my neighborhood. There may be some strange people, but just avoid them and you'll be okay.

Is Gran Canaria worth visiting?

Travel rating

4 /5

based on 5 experiences from female travelers

Couple travel

It was a wild trip. I started somewhere in Lanzarote I think, in a surfers hostel which was quite nice, gotta find out, because I want to learn surfing some day. Since I was having a lot of trouble in my head, obviously it followed me to the trip wich made it less enjoyable than it should’ve been. My love planned the trip, I was never anywhere else before, now I found myself in a paradise with my demons inside. Feel like the one picture captured how good I looked, but not how bad I felt. We stayed at a Air BnB which was beautiful but could only host for half of the trips After that we had to Hotel Jump because it’s been holiday season or something… Overall, everything was very expensive because we always booked last minute. I felt safe but sometimes disgusted by men giving my love thumbs up for me as their Girlfriend, I usually backfired and let my aggressive energy spill, that helped me balance it off. The best food was a little Thai restaurant inside of a hotel, close to the beach… I remember that moment because I felt relieved and relaxed for the first time, maybe that’s why the food was so good. It really is a nice and wonderful paradise, go there If you’re free in your head, you’d probably enjoy it.

I travelled with my mom and 2x sisters. It was really safe to walk alone at night. I recommend the submarine and Teror and San Matreo markets tours as they were about €30 each. Book the submarine tour directly on their website to get 10% off with a free shuttle bus. Transportation was easy as we looked it up on Google Maps and the busses accept cash.
