Barcelona was a great experience. I stayed with a host family who were wonderful and with whom I was able to talk about many things. It is a very beautiful city with very diverse settings (beach, city, and countryside).
Posted: August 7, 2025Experienced: March, 2025In this town, i felt pretty safe around, I haven’t met unsafe people and the town was really gorgeous. I went to many locations in Barcelona and it was always beautiful, the people back there was pretty respectful.
Posted: August 1, 2025We only stayed one night, but it was absolutely beautiful! We arrived in the afternoon and had a lovely dinner at a local place before checking in to our hotel. We then went back out to wander- it was dark out but we felt very safe, as the streets were nicely crowded and the people were very kind (locals and tourists alike.) Lots of good shopping and cafes/dessert places.

I absolutely love this city, I think it's one of my favorites. I was lucky enough to go there while the weather was nice. The city is so chill and cool. People are laid back and enjoying each other's company. The city is safe overall I think, I had no problem walking around the streets by night. But I only stayed 3 days. I think I would be fine settling in this city, I see myself having a great life there.

There are some places like "el raval" and "la mina" where you should avoid them at night, mostly if you are alone. About pickpockets, they are all over the place; you need to be cautious with your valuable stuff. But at least the chance of being harmed is low in general.
