I love I can walk home alone at night (in my home town I could never do it)… I feel really safe in the city. I feel really safe in the city at all hours because there are always other people around. This is in the city center, the outskirts probably don't work the same way.

Granada is a very safe university city, we have nightlife quite accustomed in our routine and people go out at any time. Additionally, you make friends very quickly and meet very good people.

Well, of course, this is my experience and my perception, and any place, no matter how safe it may be, can sometimes be dangerous, but I believe Granada is one of the safest places I know. There is a great mix of cultures, and people coexist quite peacefully compared to other places. When I walk alone at night, I feel safe. People are generally friendly, and there are many young people since it is a university city, as well as travelers and people passing through.

Beautiful clean and safe. I have lived here years and never had any problems. You need to be sensible anywhere you travel but I don’t see this area as dangerous and there are lots of opportunities to enjoy

I spent the last six months in this city, and when I compare it to Istanbul, I find it to be much safer. You can walk alone on the streets at any hour of the day. However, it can get a little risky in some clubs (if you're interested) after 3 AM because of drunk men.

I would say that Granada is about as safe as a city can be. There are obvious things that you need to be aware of in the busy tourist areas. There are pick pockets, but I would say that violent crime is almost non existent for travelers. As women, we always need to be aware of what is going on around us, but I often walk by myself at night and I feel very secure.

I feel so safe as a solo traveler even at night. I do recommend to anyone to visit here. This is my favorite trip so far. You can find a food on your budget. The town is so cute. But please bring a good shoe.

I have been traveling around Spain since May. Granada is definitely on the top of my list of places I’ve visited. It’s beautiful and chic but still filled with culture and history. There are lots of options for places to shop as well as eat. I took a 30 minute bus ride to a small village in the Sierra Nevadas and did a hike called Los Cohorros. I highly recommend it was beautiful and along a river which you could jump in along the way.

About Me

Hi, I'm Ana. I was a sociologist and a Spanish teacher until COVID, the pandemic came with a completely different job which I would have never applied for if I had better options. Surprisingly, I like it a lot and it gives me exactly what I've been longing for: time and enough money to travel. I work in England but live in Granada, Spain. So between working and traveling at the end I only spend like 4 month per year in Granada. But while I'm there I will be available for anything you need: hosting, meeting up, showing you around...
