Well, the subway is incredible it’s really very easy to use worse a little expensive if you don’t know how it works when buying the tickets, in the center of Madrid there are many many tourists also scammers tried to rob me 3 times and they scammed me 1 time in the stores in the center so be careful there are also many policemen, the rest the food is delicious but if your suitcase breaks at the airport they won’t answer you you must write an email to the airline, I loved Madrid is beautiful it reminds me a lot of Bogota, it was incredible it’s a little expensive but if you are outside the center you can find better places to eat
Posted: November 19, 2025I went to Madrid with my friends and we had so much fun! We went there at the time of the Dia de Hispanidad so the city was really festive and crowded. Madrid is really accessible and easy to see every part of the city.

I really loved Madrid coming from the states it’s a really good blend of cultures. Literally can find good Asian or Latin food anywhere. Spanish food and history is really interesting here and there’s always something to do.

My first ever K-pop concert! 🫶 SKZ in Madrid made me feel so connected — both to other fans (Stays) and to the members themselves 🤗 Now I know: concerts are the perfect addition to any trip and a beautiful motivation to make dreams come true 🌿
Posted: July 26, 2025I stayed for 4 nights. The city center was always very safe and I was able to visit places both in daytime and night time. There were homeless people around but they didn’t harass. I joined a walking tour and almost got pickpocketed but the guide noticed and warned me. All good besides that

it’s very safe, only you have to be careful in the subway with your stuff because there are people that keep your things and you even saw them, there are very careful to steal your phone or your wallet
Posted: November 23, 2025i’ve been in madrid the last march with a friend of mine. at the beginning we were a little worried about going out in the evening as two girls alone, but it turns out the subways are full at night with different people, there were also local families. we felt really safe both in day and night. the locals were lovable.
Posted: November 15, 2025I have been living in Madrid for the past 3 years and have never felt unsafe in the city. If you're up early or have to walk home late at night, there is always going to be people, lights or any sign of life in the streets. Very friendly people always ready to help!

So I've lived in Madrid for 6 years and I can tell you it's fairly safe. You still have to be cautious as bad things can happen. Especially with your phones and wallet. The city center is full of people every night and you can't walk into an empty alley as there is almost none. If you stay in the outskirts be careful at night. There are certain quarters where you need to be extra careful. I've witnessed two robberies in all those years. People are helpful and will help you if you need help

I do not recommend walking alone at night near the clubs. Otherwise during the day I felt okay walking the streets. Some creeps look at you but that’s it… I lived in the center for a few days near the clubs and I didn’t feel very safe with old men being drunk…
