How safe is Murcia?
Murcia is overall a safe place but it has its dangerous parts and lots of dark streets. It’s always better to be overly wary of people and of being out after dark than it is to find yourself in dangerous situations.

Overall there's no problem. Staying safe it's easy, the things that happen normally are more at typical nightclubs, not the alternative or independent ones but more the mainstream. There are certain specific neighborhoods that are better to avoid but it's just very specific.
Posted: January 26, 2025Murcia is one of the safest cities in Spain, but I have to admit that in the last two months, it has become less safe. There are a lot of immigrants who commit crimes or say things to you when you are walking on the street.

It was beautiful. I went to a town called Águilas and even though it looked somewhat old, the beach was amazing, the food was cheap and good and the vibe was just incredible. Highly recommend. Also the capital is great, it's a total different vibe to the town nonetheless.
