I would say is a safe city!! Be careful at tourists places as the main square (Plaza españa) and public transport. I have seen some pickpockets on the street, that usually work with an scooter and take phones, mostly to tourist

Very safe Spanish city, very good energy, ideal for traveling and meeting people, walking the streets at any time, dressing as you like, touring the island by public transport without any fear.
Posted: December 24, 2024Palma is very safe for everyone. I’ve been walking around by myself since I’m a kid and nothing bad as ever happened to me. As a female you can walk around with no worries, even at night. Just be careful at night when you go to the club with your belongings, that’s it

Palma is full of cctv and local people are super reliable In summer you need to pay attention to people who come to the island to rob tourists and can be a little too drunk My flat is in a trendy neighborhood but it is super safe I go out often late

soo: as a female solo traveller i felt overall safe, but: - i got robbed at the beach - not even only in the nights, but men are being pushy sometimes so always be careful and don’t think you’re too safe :))

Palma was amazing! We walked around the city and found the cutest little streets everywhere :) People were incredibly nice and even one night where me and my friend walked 3 hours in the middle of the night we did not fell uncomfortable for a second. Palma unites amazing beaches with warm water with a rich cultural centre and loads and loads of street music :) it was a really good experience
