I’m in love with Valencia—it’s a city that truly stole my heart. I had such an amazing time there! I explored the whole city on foot, visited the Central Market and the City of Arts and Sciences, and really enjoyed every moment. The nightlife is well organized, and I felt quite safe throughout my stay. 💫

Valencia is a really beautiful city with a big parc. If you like to run it's perfect for you. But even if not it's just beautiful here. The people are all nice and welcoming and up to include you in their activities. You can walk everywhere and you can book cheap but really good hostels in the center.

I traveled to Valencia alone, but since I have friends living there, it felt more like a family visit. It’s a calm seaside city with a fun side, perfect for cycling. While it has fewer museums than Madrid, the ones I visited were lovely. The cathedral was impressive, but the best part was simply walking through the streets and biking along the city.

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.

I feel really safe in Valencia The life is not really expensive compared to France there is not a lot of things to do but it si a beautiful town and you can go the the beach and go out to walk in the town and close to the opera it a really beautiful !

Solo travel

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....

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's very safe but if you are alone at night try no go to late to your acommodation. The rule is you can stay at night as late as the time the last metro or bus you can pick. If you wanna stay late or go partying I would recommend to pick an uber to return to your acommodation.

You have to be careful with bikes and scooters that go on the sidewalk very fast and pass by without caring about anything. Always look both ways at the bike lane before continuing to walk. Be careful!

Genuinely I’ve felt safer in Valencia than I have in some parts of Ireland. I’ve had nothing happen to me personally except for the occasional seller who comes up and asks you to buy something but if you just say “no” they leave you alone so it’s safe here I would say. It’s an amazing city and I will definitely be back :)

I generally feel very safe here. I feel safe enough to walk back home with my headphones in - which I don't generally do for quite obvious reasons. It's also very easy to book Ubers that get to your location in about 10 minutes throughout the entire day.

I would describe Valencia as mostly safe city both during the day and night. Haven’t felt unsafe neither in public transport, nor in taxis, nor walking in the city during the day, nor partying at night and returning late. But one things I would recommend is to be cautious about your things, do not leave them unattended for any time. Nothing haven’t been stolen from me, but there was an attempt in Turia at around noon while I was on picnic. Also some of my friends unfortunately have been robbed.

I never have the feeling of being unsafe or on the constant look out! I am always very aware of my surroundings, you always have to be. But I never had the feeling I had to look out more than usual or be more aware of my phone, bag etc.
