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.

Valencia is very well structured , you can see that that’s a Spanish democrat caring about ppl city but still the ocupas and the crime rate make you feel worried about things… I know that it has some dangerous neighborhoods but I don’t see crime very often

I have been in Valencia for only a few days, but the city seems to be really safe. It is super clean, walkable, not super busy but there are always people on the streets and they are usually nice and helpfull.

Valencia is a safe city but I have a big city mindset so I am cautious wherever I go. After dark there are many people in the streets that make me feel very safe. I personally have not had a bad experience but I know other women, specifically women of color, that have had harassing encounters.

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.
