Is Madrid Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Solo travel

I 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

Solo travel

Madrid is a city where I felt very safe all the time, even as a solo female traveler. there is also a lot of activity to do, lot of museums to visit and it’s possible to visit them for free on certain day which can be useful if you are on a budget. Lots of parcs and rest area in the city as well:)

Solo travel

I was alone in Madrid for 5 days in February of 2023. Overall, I had a great experience there because I felt safe walking alone at night since there was police presence throughout the city, it was clean, and it felt like a calm atmosphere in general. It became my favorite city in Europe because of how safe it felt, everything was walking distance, and it was such a beautiful place. I also felt like I didn’t spend much or it wasn’t super pricey. The only thing I would change about my trip is to choose a better hostel since the one I stayed in was nasty and felt unsafe. I would definitely go back again though!

Family travel

For me was a little bit unsafe and dirty, my brother has to pay way too much for asma medication that was not fair but it's ok love to see the city but I don't recommend to go as well you have some family there

Solo travel

Honestly I just love Spain I spent a whole week in Madrid and it felt like it was the best time of my life even though the weather wasn't perfect. I felt safe people are nice and there are a lot of activities that you can do. Especially during night time you don't feel alone because everyone is partying so I really recommend going there.

Group travel

I loved Madrid! It's got a beautiful city center and so so good food! I loved the breakfast places! Just wander around and go with the flow! There are are also great rooftop bars. :) I never felt unsafe so no worries if you wanna visit the city by yourself!

It's generally safe for women walking alone after dark. I've gone back from party alone several times and nothing ever happened to me. I would recommend Madrid for solo traveler women, it's weird that anything can happen to you.

I haven't had any problems in my 22 years living here. I live in a good neighbourhood, "Barrio Salamanca" so the only crime you could face here is someone stealing your wallet or phone if you are careless like in any part of the world.
