How safe is Seville?
I would describe Seville as a very safe city. Even though you have to walk a lot and also do so in the night, after going for the club for example, I always feel quite safe. So far nothing happened to me :)

About most touristic areas, nothing to worry about at all. Just take care of your belongings, in Plaza de España main square. I recommend u have a walk around the centre and Las Setas. Transport is very safe and often. I have grown up there
Posted: May 7, 2025Generally safe, the biggest problem I've had is my bike stolen 3-4 times. I wouldn't wander around certain areas at late hours of the night for too long, definitely be careful if walking home by yourself while intoxicated.
Posted: April 23, 2025A beautiful and peaceful city, but like anywhere else, you need to take precautions, especially if you're alone and it's nighttime, just for safety. It has a lot of history and many places to visit. You can have a coffee on one of its terraces or watch the sunset on the Guadalquivir River.

It depends on the area of course, but I have never been catcalled or harassed in the street. I enjoy going on nightly walks alone and have never felt unsafe. I live in a residential area in the city but even walking into the center at night there is always a lot of people around and I have never felt unsafe.
Posted: January 20, 2025Sevilla is a very safe city. Just stay away from the ghettos, and everything is going to be okay. Plus, it is very difficult for tourists to get there. Moreover, Sevilla is a very crowded city at night, so if anything happens to you, you just need to shout.

Sevilla was an amazing experience! The vibes were great & people very friendly! I really loved the flair that the orange trees give to this sunny city! Sharing Tapas with other Solo Travellers is a must do there! Just make sure to book your alcazar tickets in advance to not stand in a queue at 8am 🥲

I don’t think I ever have felt this safe in a big city. Not one single comment or look from other people, although I have not been out anything in the night. There is much to do and organizations who helps you with meeting new people and seeing the whole city!
