Is Valencia Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Valencia

I 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.

Valencia is a very safe city, I already came back alone at night and I was never scared because there is almost always people in the street. I don't think people usually get robbed or get there phone stolen, just be careful if you leave it on the beach but otherwise, no issue to report :)

It's generally a very safe place if you stay around the center or student areas like Blasco Ibáñez or Benimaclet. Places like Cabanyal are more suspicious, but nothing should happen if you go with someone, sometimes it's just the stigma people have in relation to those areas, as the people living there are lower class

I feel very safe in Valéncia. I can return home, alone on foot. Especially in avenues and the city center there are always people around. concerns always exist, but most of the times it's my mind and the fact that something is gonna happen

During the day it feels completely safe everywhere and after dark until midnight even, because there are still a lot of people on the streets. I was told that some areas should be avoided at night alone as woman and one friend got his stuff stolen at the beach at night, but that is everything bad i noticed.

From what I have lived, I consider it a safe city, Ive never seen any big incident happening, but because there are a lot of people and its such a touristic place Im still worried about my safety (ive been living here for not so long) and I know it is not the safest. You always have to be careful, but I have gone for walks in the dark in the past.

I felt quite safe, I was mainly visiting the city centre, Jezus district and I walked around the beach quite a lot. I would reccommend booking accommodation in the city centre, as there are a lot of people there at all times and it's more tourists friendly.

I was in Valencia for a bit more than a week, and while I stayed with friends I got to explore the city a little bit. I particularly enjoyed to walk to the beaches, and to run through the park that used to be a river. My absolutely favorite thing was to visit the fresh food markets, and in particular the smaller local ones. My picture is from a market in Russafa. Even though I don't speak much Spanish, a few words and a positive attitude got me very far while speaking to the old market ladies. Que mas? Valencia has plenty of little cute shops, cafes and bars. Be aware that most places close at 14:00 or 15:00 for a mid day pause before re-opening for dinner later, so don't wait too long to eat your mid day meal. I didn't really go to any expensive paid attractions since I was mostly there to visit friends and see the city for the first time. It was enough for me to experience daily life in the city and enjoy the new food and drinks, figuring out the metro system and wrapping my head around everything unfamiliar. I would love to go back sometime.
