How safe is Valencia?

València overall is very safe and I never experienced anything that made me feel like I wasn‘t safe. However, I meet a lot of people that got their phone/wallet/bag stolen at one point so that‘s something you should be aware of. But the streets for example at night are all still full of people so I never felt anxious at night

Its pretty safe, I live near the centre and I always feel comfortable walking home from the club when it’s dark. However I can’t speak on crime or safety further out from the centre so it may be different there.

I don't feel any fear of something happening to me, it can always happen, but the probability is very, very low. It's a very big city and almost all places are full of people, which provides more security.

Valencia is a quiet city and you can easily walk around at night. Of course it is always recommend not to walk alone in dark streets. But overall I never experienced something bad in the last 3 years.

Even though I’m always scared because I have anxiety I think Valencia is the safest city I’ve lived in. I think that if you know which corners to avoid you should be more than safe to walk around and enjoy the city.

My city is quite safe. You only need to worry about robberies in the summer because there are more tourists, but in general, it is a good place to live. I know my city; I've never had a problem. There are always police on the streets.

I have been here not for a long time but I can say as a woman I felt safe around the city during day and night. But like any other cities we should be careful especially walking at night. Other than that, as the people whom I talked to here said Valencia is a safe city.

I got a very nice accommodation with an elderly woman, near the center. I enjoyed the sun, the very good food and the friendly atmosphere. Overall it was a marvelous experience, to walk through the streets, on the beach promenade, and meet new people everywhere.

It is really save, everywhere where Police and so on. Also the City is very beautiful and affordable. There are many good restaurants and we stayed in an Hostel for 3 days. Not expensive like 20€ per Night(Cantagua Hostel) and it was really familiar.
