Safety: Málaga is generally very safe for tourists, with low crime rates. Things to do: Must-visit: The Alcazaba, Picasso Museum, and the Cathedral. Food: Try: Espetos (grilled sardines), Jamón Ibérico, and fried fish. Restaurants: El Pimpi (famous for tapas), and Restaurante José Carlos García (Michelin-starred). Budget: A moderate budget works well here. Daily expenses can range from €40-€80 depending on the activities and meals. Accommodation: I stayed in the city center, near Plaza de la Constitución. Getting around: The city has great public transport (buses, metro). Walking is also easy as most attractions are close together. Sample itinerary: Day 1: Alcazaba, Roman Theatre, Picasso Museum. Day 2: Beach day (La Malagueta), stroll in the old town, dinner at El Pimpi.
Posted: February 18, 2025I gelt really safe there. It was sooo interesting to go around. The people are so nice and welcoming. You should travel to Toledo which is nearly 1 hour away from madrid. The food is so good. It is also a must to visit a flamenco show.
Posted: February 17, 2025There's a lot of possibilities for public transportation (train, car, metro, bus, tram). also nice, on the weekends there are no cars allowed in the streets. Felt unsafe walking around at night and in some clubs (even with friends)

First time traveling to barcelona with a friend🫶🏽 Overall I felt safe, heard a lot about there being a lot of pickpockets which made me less safe. but nothing happened to us. We were there for 3 days and we managed to see everything we wanted to see - arc de triumph, sagrada familia, ciutadella park, las ramblas, barcelona beach and harbor. and it was really (!!!) worth seeing. The food was great, and the waiters and staff were so nice which made it an even better experience. but, it was more expensive than other cities, like madrid or alicante, although it could be because of the restaurants own prices and locations. we didn't really have a budget but in my opinion 3 days in barcelona wasn't that expensive. I spent around 3500 (300 euros) INCLUDING THE HOTEL which was 1300 (110 euros) for 2 nights, so the total price WITHOUT the hotel was 2200 SEK (190 euros) which went mainly to food and drinks, but also metro, taxi. We stayed at Sant Agusti Hotel which was a 2 minute walk (200 meters) to las ramblas. Our room was amazing and the breakfast as well. there was a small square just outside with a few bars and restaurants but if you want more, you just go past the square and is at las ramblas. We mainly walked, but to get to the airport and train station we took the metro or taxi (we could have walked to the train station but since we had bags we thought it would be easier to take a taxi) Overall my first Barcelona experience was great, we loved the food, the people and the places we visited. we will definitely travel to barcelona again.
Posted: February 15, 2025Experienced: December, 2024I go to the Hogueras de San Juan every year with my family and we haven't had any major issues since we started going like 8 years ago. We usually stay in El Campello and go to the center via tram up to Mercado, but if you choose this option be careful when going back to your hotel, at certain hours there's just too much people and it's better to go back before or, if there are trams until late, come back way later
Posted: February 14, 2025Experienced: May, 2024Sevilla was an amazing experience! The vibes were great & people very friendly! I really loved the flair that the orange trees give to this sunny city! Sharing Tapas with other Solo Travellers is a must do there! Just make sure to book your alcazar tickets in advance to not stand in a queue at 8am 🥲

We went as three friends we visit the castle. We also visited the illusion museum and some bars late at night. There will always be people who will try to lure you into bars just make sure that it’s safe, but for the most part, we went swimming because it was too hot.

A very nice and wonderful city. I visited alone and met up with people from this app! We had a very good time around the center, it feels really safe and people are kind and sweet! I recommend doing the Youth Metro Card if you're younger than 26, it's gonna be €4 and you can recharge it for only €8 per month. It's very convenient even if you're staying here for a few weeks. The center and the shopping are generally more expensive compared to the rest of Spain but I recommend Mercadona for groceries shopping and the "Mercadillo de la Plaza del Campillo" for thrift shopping. For the apartment I used the platform "SpotaHome" and I had a very nice experience with my roommates and the owner as well!
Posted: February 13, 2025Experienced: January, 2025It is really save, everywhere where Police and so on. Also the City is very beautiful and affordable. There are many good restaurants and we stayed in an Hostel for 3 days. Not expensive like 20€ per Night(Cantagua Hostel) and it was really familiar.
Posted: February 13, 2025Experienced: December, 2024i felt super safe in valencia for some reason mostly the people were super nice and the food was great! not much to see in the city to be honest i went to the jardin botanic garden and it was pretty cool other than that i saw the city center and stuff it was cool also i recommend the most hanging out near the sea it has the best views!

My city is quite safe. You only need to worry about robberies in the summer because there are more tourists, but in general, it is a good place to live. I know my city; I've never had a problem. There are always police on the streets.
Posted: February 21, 2025Barcelona City is actually not very safe. It's really important to be careful with your belongings and also not to walk alone in the center during the night. Overall, i wouldn't say it is super unsafe, but precaution is really needed. At the end, there is a lot of sexual arrasment reports.
