Valencia is safe, as are most cities in Europe. You can walk alone at night without being really worried. It's safe, but don't go walking around areas in the suburbs like barrio del Carmen at 3am as you're gonna have problems. Just use common sense

Valencia it’s a very safe, touristic city. There’s always street movement so that makes me feel safe. Also Gandia, my neighborhood, it’s a very chill, residential coast place. I’ve walked alone at night in both places and slept in the airport and everything’s just fine.

It is very safe place overall, way more safer than Barcelona or Madrid or even Sevilla where I was living before. Anyway even if something happens people around always react super fast, you can count on them to help you :)
Posted: September 19, 2024You can go out alone, use the public transport with no problem. Many places have a anti arrasment protocol, a safe area and they can help you. In the festivals and events you can find a purple point, a safe point if somebody is bothering you

It's one of the best place for living in Europe. It's very safety, even at night. Sometimes I walk at night at Cabecera park close to Turia and I see some people (mostly couples) there. Any accident happened with me during 1,5 years since I'm here.
Posted: June 24, 2024It is really safe. I went home whenever I want and nothing happen. There are lots of university student and the other people are nice. You can choose here to stay alone even stay outside;). I guess valencia is the best palce to live safely.

I have lived in Valencia for 7 years, and I have always felt really safe, I can walk at night alone after clubbing and never had a bad experience except one time where a homeless guy kept following me, I called the police and the came really quickly. Police do rounds in cars very often in the city and at night. For stealing my friend once had a bad experience as when we entered his house one day he found that someone came inside and stole some stuff. Except these two situations I never had or saw anything bad happening but once again always be safe girlies 💕
Posted: April 8, 2024I think valencia is overall very safe city for women traveling alone. So far i have never felt unsafe or worried about my own safety walking and been alone in the city. Always is good to be aware of the sura and also check the bad or less safer parts of the city, so you don’t find yourself in a bad situation.

I did not have any problems at the moment. I generally felt safe whether walking or running alone at any time. I recommend visiting and walking around alone or with others - no problem. I used to walk anytime.

I live in Valencia as a student and I return home late at night. I have never had any problems until now. I think it is a very safe city for a woman. You can find a very lively nightlife, but it is not a very crowded city.

the good thing about Valencia, apart from visiting the city of science and the cathedral and various monuments in the historic center is that if you go down to the Turia, the large city park that used to be a river, you can practice an infinite number of sports and especially dance. there are lots of groups that offer various activities and Latin dances and more. the city is very safe but you always need to be a little careful. there are bars and restaurants on every corner to enjoy international food and the legendary paella. don't forget to take a nice trip to the beach, another place to practice sports and have a nice sunbath and swim.
Posted: September 18, 2024Experienced: August, 2024An unspoiled medieval city, with orange tree lined streets, charm and beautiful nature. I stayed near the quartz towers, hired a bike... The city and the beach I did as 2 seperate holidays Would definatley go back

Hello! I’m Teo, a university student currently studying architecture in Valencia. I am specifically interested in the development of human-scale infrastructure in city planning, such as bike lanes, public transit, and green spaces. I love to go outside, go biking, bouldering, walking I also love to craft (sewing, collaging, pottery, etc.) and I’m a big believer in sustainable fashion. I like to meet new people in my travels as I always find it nicer to explore new things in the company of others. Show me your city!
