How safe is Salamanca for solo female travelers?

Travel safety index

4.2 /5

Solo travel

It is a really safe and cute little town. Very medieval, but not so much good weather in the winter so please come in the summer!! Really fun overall but for a short stay. The best nightclub is paniagua and all the restaurants around Plaza Mayor are amazing too

I went to Salamanca with my school and I spent a lovely week there! I loved the city and people were super kind, I'd like to go back one day! I have to say I never went out during nights so I have no idea of the situation after a certain hour, but during the day it was surely a super welcoming city.

Salamanca is overall a really safe place for living and for studying. I usually go out to parties in the night until 5 AM and nothing ever has ever happened to me in the two years I have lived here. I never heard anything similar from my friends either. I would always recommend to watch out though, like all places in the world there are exceptions

Salamanca is one of the safest cities in Spain! i’ve walked alone late at night numerous times without feeling like I was in danger and there’s little to no crime! Everyone here minds their business and the majority of the town consists of elders and college students

Salamanca is a small city in Spain in where crimes barely happen. As any other cities, it has safer neighborhoods than others but overall you can walk alone safe around the city. Rapes and sexual assaults happen because it is a a city with a lot of nighlife but i believe it is not the common thing to say about my city.
