I feel very safe. I can go back to my place by night without worrying, and the police is very nice if you have any problems. In generally nobody will talk to you without respect in the street. You can travel alone everywhere in Valencia.
Posted: August 5, 2025Valencia is safe, especially during the day. But as a girl being alone and arround in the night might be a little scared (as almost all cities). It usually And normally nothing happens, but there is usually a greater chance of being robbed or scammed when you look like are a tourist alone, safer in group

From my experience I don't feel Valencia is a place where you have to worry about safety, o maybe, not a lot. I think at night I feel less secure and afraid. But not a lot, as in other countries people may be.
Posted: July 21, 2025Valencia is generally a very safe city, but there are some strange people, especially at night. If you're careful, nothing should happen to you. The downtown area is quite safe, even safer than the surrounding areas.
Posted: July 10, 2025I felt safe walking around. I have never experienced anything disturbing, but I have heard some unpleasent stories. The only tapes of crimes I would be actually concerned about are: car robbery and bike stealing.

I traveled to Valencia with my brother and it was an incredible experience. I did feel that Valencia has its own culture, they’re Valencian before they’re Spanish. I really liked this experience there was a lot of cool museum to visit and the food was amazing. Definitely don’t forget to visit the main market.
