How safe is Murcia for solo female travelers?

Solo travel

It was beautiful. I went to a town called Águilas and even though it looked somewhat old, the beach was amazing, the food was cheap and good and the vibe was just incredible. Highly recommend. Also the capital is great, it's a total different vibe to the town nonetheless.

Murcia is pretty safe and welcoming. There's areas that is best to avoid like near the bus station and the zone of La Fama. But overall is safe for women and locals are friendly, maybe most people won't be able to speak fluently in English but with the help of a text translator you are good to go.

Overall Murcia is an incredibly safe place, even more if you compare it to some Spanish cities like Barcelona. People are always welcoming and kind here so if for some reason you begin to worry feel free to reach out for help. Of course, and especially as a woman, I would recommend that you take the usual precautions: don't leave alone your drink when at a party, avoid dark and empty streets at nights, keep your personal belongings close... When it comes to safety on the streets I would say that during daylight it is 100% safe. During nighttime however, there are some places I try to avoid: bus stations, barrio de San Andrés, La Fama... So, to sum up, if you ever come to Murcia, your main fear must be not being able to enjoy everything! (Beaches, city, culture, flood...). As always, stay safe. Greetings from Spain :D

It’s a really safe place but it has a few neighbourhoods that aren’t very safe (around Murcia bus station at night) Some of my girl friends going out at night and they didn’t have any bad experiences about safety.

From my experience Murcia is pretty safe place to live or visit. I don’t think I ever felt somewhere uncomfortable or unsafe. However I believe that bad things can happen everywhere so sill be aware of it The biggest problem in Murcia is with your bikes, they are being stolen quite often

I would say it is pretty safe as long as you don’t enter sketchy areas late at night. But still, most of the sketchy places aren’t very bad, you just have to be a little cautious. Pepper sprays are allowed and cost around 15 euros I believe, I always have one on me just in case xx

About me

Hi! I come from Murcia and have lived in Germany and Sweden for 7 years. Now I am back in Murcia and I love my town and love showing it to others. I also need my basic dose of different cultures be it travelling or meeting people from different places. I also love to solo travel. I am a classical pianist, so always willing to meet other musicians too!
