Was pretty good, first ever time travelling without family. Went to see my bf but was spending the days alone since he had school. Was an overall nice experience, didn't encounter any pick pocketers or any mishaps. Stuck to just exploring without a plan, so I didn't see the attractions Barcelonas known for but cuz of that i did see many little beauties of the city. One underrated beautiful location u have to visit is Monastery of Pedralbes, €5.20 for a beautifully quiet place away from the buzz of the city, spent almost 3 hours there soaking up the peace. Hope u enjoy ur travel to Barcelona!

Barcelona is a beautiful city and I’d love to visit again. Great food, affordable prices, and friendly people, even if English isn’t always spoken well. Don’t miss Park Güell, Sagrada Familia, and the Picasso Museum. Hostels start at around €20 per night. The only downside is public transport, as a one-way ticket costs €2.65❤️

🚎✈️My first solo trip, I was very scared but everything went great. I bought the Barcelona Card for about €75, which allowed me to use all public transport and many attractions for free or at a discount for 5 days; very useful because I was moving around both on foot and by public transport. 🥘🥗Unfortunately, I didn't eat many local specialties, I spent more on museums. ⚠️I was afraid of being robbed or worse, but nothing happened, I never experienced any dangerous events. In fact, I met very kind people who helped me even if they didn't speak English. 🫶🏾You don't need to be in a pair...

I'm obsessed with this city and hated to leave. The food was delicious, I felt super safe (was expecting a constant fear of pickpockets but I stayed safe and it was alright), weather was great, people were nice, the architecture is amazing, you can do hikes or chill at the beach. Endless possibilities!

This was my first solo trip :) Even though a lot of people would find Barcelona not so safe, i would say the quite opposite! I had the best experience meeting with the girls from the app as well. I stayed at „The Central Hotel“ Recommend!

Barcelona is a safe city nowadays. During the day, the city is full of people but you must be careful with the pickpockets in metro stations and tourists area. During the night, avoid to walk in Raval. The night here is full of life.

Pretty save, but I did carry a bag with a clasp and a zipper. And also always held it next to me. To be extra safe also was in my lap when in a restaurant. As a woman be careful in the metros at night, nothing happened to me personally, but I heard stories so better be safe than sorry!
Posted: January 15, 2026I know people who got robbed here, so take care of your bags and stuff; they are professionals. Very rarely will you be able to get your documents back. Don't get too close to people who feed parrots; they will give you seeds and charge you some money for it.
Posted: January 9, 2026I'd say it's pretty safe if you avoid certain areas and just be a bit vigilant while travelling alone. Otherwise, the buses run all night and it's pretty safe. I'd avoid going to El Raval and be aware at the beaches at night.

I was in Barcelona from November 19th to 23rd, I went to the most famous places and used public transport a lot; I expected at least a little crime, but nothing happened, in fact I met very kind people who helped me even if they didn't speak English; maybe I was the exception; but I'm definitely going back. 💐🥰🥰
