🚎✈️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 to live the moment. Girls, take off and go, you only have one life and this is it. If no one wants to come with you, no problem, you go, explore, and have fun 🫶🏾

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!

Posted: September 25, 2025Experienced: May, 2025Hello, we had a great time in Barcelona. I wouldn't say that Barcelona is a safe country because they steal a lot or have a lot of pickpockets and you have to be very careful with your things. There are a lot of foreigners from India and other countries, which gives an unpleasant feeling of security. there are many people who harass you and then want you to pay them. My colleague and I often ate out and were very satisfied. our expenses were €1000 for everything: flight, sleep, food in restaurants and other things.

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. 💐🥰🥰

I can freely walk at night by myself without feeling uncomfortable, I can be by myself or with friends, going for a run or after drinks and it's always okay. The only thing to be wary about is a few neighbourhoods or even just a few streets and alleys that have homeless drug addicts but even then there isn't a real danger.

Its a relatively safe city, I do recommend to stay away from Raval at night as it does get quite creepy but in my opinion the city is very safe you just have to avoid touristic hotspots at night, if you explore taking that in mind you will definitely enjoy it

Barcelona is still a safe place, but you have to be a bit aware and don't leave your belongings anywhere. But you won't be attacked or threaten. I think bad people and bad zones are everywhere; so the only thing to know is the zones you should avoid.
Posted: October 19, 2025I was there for three weeks and it was the best time of my life! Nothing ever happened. I was walking home from the club at midnight alone and I did not have any worries if someone would attack me or do anything else. Nothing got stolen, even when many story’s from Barcelona are that people get robbed.
