Is Santander Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Santander

Santander it’s a very safe area of Cantabria I have never been attacked ,robbed ,punched ,touched by anyone . I usually go back home by myself after partying and every time I felt safe,of course it depends on which streets you go but the majority are ok

Overall a very safe city, not too big, not too crowded and has a nice beach side and you can walk to most places in the city. The center can become crowded in the evening, but still not too dangerous.

It always have been safe for me. I just follow precautions. But in general seems a very safety city. The just one thing that I observed is that there are machismo and the majority population is a bit embittered. It’s mainly a old population therefore there are some values like respect, but at the same time it’s a society very closed in my opinion. Fortunately, there are also many young exchange students who give a good and different touch to the city.

I absolutely fell in love with the city. I decided to visit because I found cheap flights and I wasn't familiar with the city at all. But it was the biggest surprise. The city is surrounded by mountains and by the ocean, you feel like you're in a fairytale. It has the most stunning sunsets and sunrises. You can take a bus and in few minutes you're out of the city center and just walk around the cost of the beautiful Biscay Bay. I absolutely recommend to visit to everyone.

Cute city in beautiful surroundings. Great if you like to practice sports and chill. The beaches are really nice, food is good and there are many great treks to discover. However you need a car or vehicle to move around. The nightlife ia not that great and can be a bit roudy.
