Is Barcelona Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Solo travel

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.

It’s the capital of the parties and fun, lovely people, a looot of foreigners and a beautiful beach, if you like clubbing is perfect ! And the food it’s not that amazing but if you find good places you can eat very good, but I think it’s more expensive than Madrid.

I felt safe, even at night walking home alone from the beach. You should go see the la sagrada familia. I loved the tacos For my whole trip I have spent 600€ (with Hostel, flight and food as well as clothing)

I went to Barcelona for two days by myself, I was very nervous and scared since I had never been there and I was alone, but once I got there i found It very easy to get around and the públic transport very straightforward, and the people were very nice and helpful. I never got Lost, the hostel was in a good place, and the beaches were easy to find

Group travel

We went there with my friends from Italy, and i joined to guruwalk. Architecture and vintage shops were amazing. Also food was delicious. In Italy, cuisine is very traditional but in Barcelona they combined modern things with tradition. People were more open minded.

I went in Barcelona with my friends , in total we were 3. We had a great time and we enjoyed the city a lot! Very beautiful, had a similar feeling to Athens for us ( we are from Athens) but at the same time nothing alike Apart from the weather! We didn’t really feel safe , especially during the night time because we experienced extreme catcalling and even had bunch of guys following us around! The clubbing for me was horrible tho but that’s because I don’t like clubs and it was super crowded since it was August! Our hotel room wasn’t that clean at the end and had mold on the walls but we realised that every boutique apartment was like that as well! As for attractions , I enjoyed Sagrada Familia and casa batllo

It is usually safe, there are a lot of pickpockets in the touristic zones, you just have to be careful and be aware of your surroundings. Absolutely avoid El Raval and La Mina especially at night. Otherwise it’s okay, more than pickpockets there is very little danger. If there’s anyone that approaches you, bark at them, that’s what i do.

It is generally safe, but beware of pickpockets everywhere at all times. They work in public transport and even in the streets (steal phone from bikes). Avoid walking alone at night in shady areas of town.
