I’d say Las Palmas is quite safe! Even though I wouldn’t dare walking by myself through the city after midnight… But I think it applies to any other city in the world. Gran Canaria in general is quite a safe place. As a women, especially of different etnicity, you might get some inappropriate comments from men sometimes.

It’s a safe place, but there are places like San Telmo where are a little dangerous at night. But in general it’s a very safe city with a lot of polices, the best places to stay are Canteras Beach at night because there are a lot of tourists here and there are a lot of people in the street.
Posted: December 30, 2024Really safe for women. You can walk alone 24/7. Las Palmas offers a great environment and the locals are friendly. It is a beautiful place to live, also for holiday. Las Palmas and the island around are great
Posted: June 6, 2024I'm actually live in Lanzarote, Las Palmas. But I consider all islands in the Canary Islands very safe for woman. I do not feel afraid of walking alone even at night. People are very welcoming and kind.

This city is really nice and living. I worked there for 6 weeks and as Young lady I never felt unsafe. What I particulary like is that there’s a plenty of activities to chose of ;) I Would recommand you going there and pick up a nice hostel nearby the beach la cicer.
