Is Madrid Safe for Women?

I felt very safe. Lived there for almost 6 months. I ended up walking home after the club almost every night and felt very safe, night public transportation the same. The only thing you need to be aware of is pickpockets but I believe that is something that’s something common around European capitals.

Overall Madrid is really safe, you just have to avoid specific zones or areas, which are mainly common sense: dark streets, basements… otherwise you are pretty much safe. I walk home alone at night most of the time and nothing has ever happened to me. The metro closes at 1:33 am and opens at 6:30 am and it’s pretty safe too, never had a problem. There is also night shift buses, but those are only available in specific places, though they are really safe too.

Overall is not a very dangerous place. It has occasional crimes, but not only directed towards women. I would say it is a safe place to visit in daylight. When it comes to night-time it is good to be precautious but not to be too worried

Overall I feel safe. The worst you can expect is something being stolen from you, but so is everywhere. However, it somehow feels much safer than many other places.

It's generally safe for women walking alone after dark. I've gone back from party alone several times and nothing ever happened to me. I would recommend Madrid for solo traveler women, it's weird that anything can happen to you.

I really loved Madrid coming from the states it’s a really good blend of cultures. Literally can find good Asian or Latin food anywhere. Spanish food and history is really interesting here and there’s always something to do.
