Solo travel

I was living in Valencia, Spain for 1 month this year and i felt super safe there as a solo traveler. Not many activities to do in the city, but its a calm, less touristy sea city in Spain that has many historical places.

Family travel

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.

It’s very safe to go anywhere by day or night People is very kind and helpful if there’s a problem or incident If you go party it is very safe too. Women in here are all united to protect women. Police is very helpful too.

Valencia is mostly safe but you have to check the zones you're at, like cabanyal, els orriols, marxalenes that are some problematic zones, the center or benimaclet and university zones are mostly safer

It's pretty safe even at night. But there are some places where I don't recommend to go after dark: Park Turia (only in a day!) and Cabanyal (there is a crime in districts near the sea). IF YOU GO HOME AFTER PARTY: it's better to go on taxi, because transport goes bad at night depends on area. But if you're in a group of people it's okay to wait a bus.
