Is Madrid Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Madrid

Madrid is, in general, a safe place to visit and be around (Except for a few neighborhoods), I prefer to avoid large masses of people and to walk alone at night, even tho nothing ever happened to me :)

I feel that madrid is quite safe but it’s better to be careful at night. If it’s late I’d much rather take an Uber than public transport. The place where I live, Getafe, is quite chill, there’s mostly families and students living there.

Madrid is a cool city, full of life, culture, and party. It has a strong student vibe and there’s always something to do, events, plans, and new places to discover. I’m originally from Andalucia but I love Madrid,

I guess that Madrid is safe, but avoid dangerous areas like some areas of Vallecas or Villaverde Bajo at night. Although, I would say Madrid is pretty safe or at least from my point of view. And also be really aware of your bag, your purse or your mobile, cause you can get them stolen at the street or in the metro. Be really alert about it!!! Even so it's really a lovely city, maybe you can encounter people in a bad mode, that's why they are unfriendly with you, but most of the people here are really kind.

It’s a really safe city! There’s police around all the time and they are always checking if you are OK when they see something strange, specially when you are walking by yourself. I feel very safe, specially when I’m by myself at night

Depends of the places. Do not go around Lavapiés at night rastro in sindays has risk of robbery. The center is mostly safe, more around the north like gran Vía, Salamanca, Chamberí, Moncloa, but Lavapiés you have to be careful at night mostly for the women.

Is Madrid safe? 🤔 From my experience: yes, very! 😄 I’ve walked home alone at 6am after a night out and felt genuinely safe. I live in Chamberí, so even late at night the streets are never empty. Madrid truly never sleeps; on weekends you’ll still find people walking, chatting, or grabbing food even at 2, 3, or 5 in the morning. That presence gives you peace of mind because you’re never really alone on the street. The only real thing to watch out for is pickpocketing, especially in touristy areas or on the metro. Always keep your bag closed and close to you, and stay alert in crowds. 👛 But overall, as someone coming from a less-safe country (Ecuador), living in a place where I can walk at night without fear has been life-changing. Of course, safety always comes with awareness, but Madrid has given me a new sense of freedom and calm.

i feel very safe personnaly walking in madrid, even by night alone after a party. however 3 of my friends had their phones robbed in train stations. Also a very close women friend of mine lived sexual harrassment also in trains stations so pay attention !

Madrid is very safe if we’re talking about serious crimes. On the other part, as a big city its relatively possible to get robbed in crowed place such as the metro or in touristic locations. Because for that you should be aware of your things in those situations.

Madrid is a safe City, there is a lot of people at the streets in the City centre so you can feel safe. If you shout or run you will find someone so close to you. At night you have to be careful if you are alone but there is no problem if you are controling your suroundings

Group travel

Loved it, definitely will be coming back.. reccomend for all categories of travelers. City is beautiful, people are kind and helpfull, night life felt fun but safe.. didnt have any bad experience :)

Solo travel

I really enjoyed Madrid, I travelled solo and stayed there for two weeks in february as an au-pair by a host family. I had some free time, so I got around alone very often. I would recommend to travel a bit later maybe in spring or May, so its not to hot, but everyrthink is growing and the winter works are finished, so you can enjoy the lovely parks and green areas more than I. I also recommend to visist a Flamenco show, the el rastro marked (but take care of your personal stuff), a walk to the most importand sights like the palace, the via grande and if you have more time a day Trip to toledo or San Lorenzo de El Escorial.
