In the center or the tourist districts it is very safe. Public transportation is also very cheap. But the important thing is to avoid areas like “3000 viviendas”. Seville is very safe in other areas but that specific area is quite dangerous and there is also nothing touristy
Posted: August 10, 2025I 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.

I went to Seville for the ACDC concert, so I was only there for a couple of days. It was very easy to get from the airport to the center of the city, a bit harder to find your way on the streets. Pretty hard actually. But it was okay, it's such a beautiful city so I've had to see much wandering around. I felt very safe. It was only at one point I was holding my bag extra hard, late at night in a small alley and I saw like 2-3 guys walking in the opposite direction as me, but I don't think they even looked at me. The concert was a big one, many people. It felt very safe to be there. And after there was a party outside the arena with lots of people. I met a few and all of them was just so nice and fun to party with. I would go back! I'm just sorry I didn't see more places in the city.
