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

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

I consider Alicante as a safe city. But as many other cities there are some known places that should be avoided by night. Touristic sites are usually safe day and night, u can go out n have fun 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.
