Is Alicante Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Solo travel

I really enjoyed my time in Alicante, I managed to do and see a lot in the short time I was there. I met a really lovely lady from this app, who I ended up spending most of my evenings and some of the days with. We are still in contact and hoping to see each other again soon! San Juan beach was nice, and it was cool to walk up to Santa Barbara Castle. Just from wandering around the city, you can encounter some interesting things.

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.

Family travel

I 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.

I 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.

Alicante 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.

Family travel

I visited Alicante a year ago and it felt amazing i loved the culture, food and people there. Everyone was really nice and friendly. I liked trying the local sea food and local snacks which I cant get in my country. I wasnt really wandering around the streets at night, maybe in the evenings and I felt safe, noone ever came up to me or anything so yeah basically I highly recommend and I’ll probably go back there someday

I really like how I spent time in Alicante.I lived with my friends from Ukraine.We were walking, visiting cafes and swimming in the sea all the time. I could recommend you to visit Santa Barbara mountain to see the view from the highest point in Alicante.

Couple travel

We feel very safe. Accommodation was not expensive and food also so i dont need to take a lot of money. Tye most beautiful place was a Castillo De Santa Barbara. I ate the best pistachio crosaint in Salt in Cake 😂

Alicante was my first solo trip, and as a woman, I was initially nervous because you always hear stories about what could happen. However, I don’t think I could have chosen a better place in terms of safety, convenience, and the kindness of its people. I truly felt safe at all times. The locals are incredibly friendly—one time, I accidentally got on the wrong bus and didn’t have battery on my phone. I approached a girl for help, and she kindly assisted me in getting on the right bus. The food...

I have been living here for 7 years and never had any issues getting home safely. Apart from the awkward interactions I have had with a few men, I’ve never felt in danger or threatened by their behaviour. Of course it’s always important to look out for yourself. Stay safe ladies.

Alicante is a very safe city but in the center, if you go to the outside areas could be dangerous. If you go out at night take care with the pickpockets, anyway there’s always police in every corner but it’s better to be alert if you go out alone at night

Alicante is a wonderful place with so many nice people. You will find beautiful beaches, very good food like paella, pretty sunny days, and always kind people around. I moved from Madrid and was the best choice ever!

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.

I 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 🩷
