I would say it is pretty safe as long as you don’t enter sketchy areas late at night. But still, most of the sketchy places aren’t very bad, you just have to be a little cautious. Pepper sprays are allowed and cost around 15 euros I believe, I always have one on me just in case xx

There are places in the city that are not safe but if you dont go there the other places are okay, obviously you need to take care of your things everywhere, is more safe than other places in spain like madrid or barcelona
Posted: March 29, 2025Murcia 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.
Posted: May 29, 2024It 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.
