I felt safe, got catcalled a lil bit because of being a racialized woman. But still. Great experience and nice host! Would recommend visiting in a day. I didnt get to try foods since I have little budget.
Posted: July 14, 2025Experienced: June, 2025I travelled to Alicante with my younger sister. We spent about one week there. We felt safe, We were walking on the streets and beaches even by night. We had a hostel in the same center so We had very close distance to everywhere.
Posted: June 30, 2025Experienced: July, 2024I arrived very late in the night, it was not a good idea because the public transport doesn't work all night Only buses and they come every 30min So, preferably come early I felt safe walking late afternoon/early in the night, I was the entire trip alone The beaches are not very clean 😞 But I find a couple of them a bit outside Alicante and they were better

I went to Alicante on a day trip and it was a great experience. Had fun seeing the city and relaxing on the beach. Food was delicious and affordable. Gelato was really good from this place called Livante. There isn’t much to do though apart from climb the steps to the top of the mountain fort and see the view of the city.
Posted: May 29, 2025Alicante is a small, very beautiful city. I recommend it for going to the beach and running along the rambla. I felt very safe and everything is close by. I use buses to travel distances greater than 6 km, otherwise I get around on foot.

It’s a normal, small city but depends on the neighborhood and the hour you walk around alone could be dangerous. But taking some precautions and being cautious it’s enough for being safe here. Alicante is a beautiful city with good people in general, so don’t be afraid.
Posted: August 11, 2025I went with my younger sister . We were feeling very safe but we were afraid of the main beach in Alicante because I heard there are many robbers and If you leave your stuff alone in the middle of the beach it can be stolen

I stayed on my own in Alicante for 5 nights i loved it. I made friends and wondered the streets day and night. Overall i felt extremely safe for it being my first solo trip i was scared but i had no reason to be. I totally recommend 🩷

Alicante is Super safe, nothing to fear of! 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙 You can walk everywhere, even at night, it's really a good place to be if you are a woman travelling alone, no worries to have about this, I even go out alone in clubs from time to time.
Posted: May 16, 2025I felt super safe these past two weeks, even when I went to the bus stop at 2am. I also usually walk at night and I never felt unsafe. Regarding the use of my cell phone, I never felt like I was being watched, not at all.
