I feel fine with walking around wherever at whatever hour while being alone. People are minding their business and I don’t notice any issues in public spaces. I never encountered any problems and people act civilised. Before coming here, I never heard about anyone’s previous bad experiences in this area.

Vigo has around 300000 inhabitants, and it is mostly safe. Some of the outskirts neighbourhoods are said to be a bit more conflictive, but it is not a daily basis and city center and most areas are completely safe. I always walk alone at night when I come back home and never had any trouble.

For me Vigo is pretty safe. There are some immigrants but they are harmless. Sometimes people may be loud but I think it's a common feature of Spanish people. I don't feel any danger when I am returning back home very late.

Is Vigo worth visiting?

Solo travel

It was really good it is so close to Porto so I added some photos from Porto as well. Vigo is a little city near the border between Spain and Portugal. It's mostly quiet and elderly people are living in there. That's why they are trying to keep young people's attention mostly immigrants but they behave well to them, they are really like each other and emphasizing each others cultures

I spent 3 days in Vigo and absolutely loved it! The "old town" is lovely and being near the Ria is a plus. I spent a whole day in Islas Cíes and the hiking there always led to places with stunning views! The beaches were beautiful and the water was amazing! The sunset is late but incredible, recommend seeing it from the Parque de Castrelos!
