How safe is Valencia?

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 šŸ’•

I 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 donā€™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.

Is Valencia safe to travel?

4.5 /5

Based on 12 experiences

Solo travel experience

I was in Valencia last November, I felt very safe travelling solo during the day and going out for dinner. I usually avoid staying out after dinner in almost all cities I visit if Iā€™m alone but thatā€™s my personal preference. The food was really good and cheap and I loved the paella I tried in a couple of restaurants in the neighbourhood La Xerea. I stayed at the hostel ā€œThe venue Hostelā€, it was well connected but a bit far from the center and there was not a lot of social life, it was quite empty at the time I visited. Overall I loved the city and I had a nice and relaxing break by myself šŸ˜Š

Is Valencia worth visiting?

Overall rating

4.3 /5

Solo travel experience

Perfect city to just stroll around - the vibe is so good. Lots of cafes and bars on the streets to hang around with a lot of people even during the week. I was there at the beginning of November and the weather was perfect. Do not buy any public transportation tickets in advance, believe me you wonā€˜t need that much because strolling around is way nicer.
