Is Barcelona Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Solo travel

This was my first solo travel. I visited important places. I got lost in the streets of Barcelona and it was a great feeling. I recommend you to try La Pepita restaurant, they have very delicious tapas. I ate paella at Colom restaurant, it was delicious. I met my friend Kamola who is a solo traveler from this application and we went to Montjuic together. In short, I had a great time in Barcelona. Of course, I would like to visit Spain again.

Group travel

Generally, I feel safe, but sometimes it can be scary. We went on a group trip, so I didn't have any problems with safety. We couldn't buy drinks at the market, but I'm not sure why. Overall, I liked the experience and would visit again.

Couple travel

My gf and I felt very safe as a lesbian couple traveling Barcelona. The local homosexual scene is very big and welcoming, we found some lesbian party completely by accident and had a wonderful time there. The food was amazing and prices were OK. Overall it was a wonderful experience. 🩷

Group travel

I visited Barcelona in July 2024 and had a great time. I felt safe throughout my stay. I went swimming and visited the stunning Sagrada Família, which is definitely worth seeing. Most of my time was spent shopping and exploring the vibrant streets. The summer weather was hot but perfect for enjoying the city. I stayed near Plaça de Catalunya, which made it easy to get around using the metro. I recommend checking out local markets like La Boqueria and grabbing some tapas. Overall, a fun and relaxed trip—I’d definitely go back!

Group travel

Overall I felt safe in the city. There were a lot if things to do and I must say I was never bored being there for a little more than a week. I really recommend going to the Sagrada Familia(buy your tickets in advance) and Park Güell (also buy your tickets in advance) We did find some good spots to eat wich dont really cost much. Bar Joan had really good tapas for low price. As transport we used the metro. I reccomend searching for a good plan of the tracks because at the metro itself it isn't always clear where to go.

Solo travel

Public transport is good and cheap. Food is excellent but a bit expensive. The people are nice and to be honest you don’t need almost any Spanish, since everyone speaks English. I feel pretty safe, except for el Raval.

Family travel

i loved barcelona, i think it’s by far the most beautiful city i have ever travelled to. the vibes are unmatched, the architecture is gorgeous, the people are amazing. i felt safe as a woman walking on the streets at night, never got cat-called or harassed. the only downside is i did get pick-pocketed, so watch out for that, the simply snatched a crossbody bag off my mom

Solo travel

Barcelona was a good place, I didn’t met picpocket’s for me was safe, I love tradiotional foods, perfect… I met one of my friend in Barcelona she showed me around. I stayed one month, I was in lloret de Mar it is small but good place and S’agro is small place for shooping lot of boutiques

Solo travel

Barcelona was one of the best places to visit for me I have to come back there Everything was amazing Taco Bell was top 1 fast food there On the beach u can feel like heaven Everyone was nice and kind

Couple travel

Overall experience it was nice, quite expensive (not as expensive as UK though haha). Tapas were extraordinarily good and sangria as well. I must’ve spent around 60€ per day, because attractions were quite expensive. Recommend buying tickets for Sagrada Familia in advance, as we went there and all the times were fully booked. And expensive, too. But you can get your belly full by eating tapas and snacking from Mercado hehe

Well it's pretty safe. Pickpockets are there but if you're clever they won't get you... spanish guys are a lot but they won't hurt you... But there's a normal level of danger that every international party city has of course...

Depends on the location some places are safe some are not , but pickpockets are everywhere ……. Depends on the location some places are safe some are not , but pickpockets are everywhere ……. Depends on the location some places are safe some are not , but pickpockets are everywhere …….
