How safe is Seville?

Safety at night:Safe

Seville is generally safe for solo female travelers even at night. The city comes alive during the evenings, with locals and tourists alike occupying cafes, restaurants, and bars, so you won’t be alone on the streets. While it is always advisable to keep your personal belongings secure and maintain awareness of your surroundings, aggressive or confrontational crimes are relatively rare. However be aware of less-lit streets and areas away from city centers as these can be more problematic.

Public transportation:Safe

Seville's public transportation is generally safe to use with regular surveillance and well lit stations. Buses, trams, and the metro are popular choices with locals and tourists alike. While enjoying your travels, remain cautious of your belongings as pickpocketings can occur.

Street harassment:Low

Seville is generally considered safe for solo female travelers. Street harassment is relatively low, with most locals being respectful and tolerant. However, as with any city, some level of caution should be practiced at all times, especially during late-night periods. Catcalling or unwanted attention may occur sporadically, but they are typically rare incidents.

Petty crimes:Low

Seville is a relatively safe city in terms of petty crimes such as pickpocketing or bag-snatching. However, like any other tourist destination, certain crowded areas and public transportation can be a magnet for these activities. Always keep an eye on your belongings and avoid displaying expensive items or large amounts of cash. Situational awareness is key in preventing incidents.

Sevilla was an amazing experience! The vibes were great & people very friendly! I really loved the flair that the orange trees give to this sunny city! Sharing Tapas with other Solo Travellers is a must do there! Just make sure to book your alcazar tickets in advance to not stand in a queue at 8am 🥲

I don’t think I ever have felt this safe in a big city. Not one single comment or look from other people, although I have not been out anything in the night. There is much to do and organizations who helps you with meeting new people and seeing the whole city!

Seville is a great beautiful city full of old architecture, streets, green blooming parks, with singing birds 🦚🦜swans 🦢 , little turtles 🐢. Really I don’t remember much of the names of the famous places. Anyway you’ll like it all I dare. So I just enjoyed the surface, the Spanish 🇪🇸 vibe, Looking around and soaking all in with my favorite food 🥘 paella’s, drinking sangria the only thing that make you cooling in a hot 🔥 siesta time in summer. Sevilla is very hot, but as I told there’s a lot of parks to hide in a shade, of bars are always opened in a hottest hours. Something to see in Seville my recommendation is of course — flamenco 💃🏼. Hot charming passionate Spanish national dance. And just look 👀 around the city

Sevilla IS a great place to visit if you're passioned about History , specially the andalousian History. I rented a room in a beautiful house on Airbnb, the hosts were very kind and we could exchange even if we don't speak the same langage. I recommand it as town that you should visit while doing a road trip in the south of spain

You’ve gotta have some fresh orange juice if it’s in season! I went for three days which were easy to fill, if I went again I would try to time my mealtimes better to align with theirs. Perfect place for a solo trip, had an amazing time, wish I dressed as well as the locals though.

I would describe Seville as a very safe city. Even though you have to walk a lot and also do so in the night, after going for the club for example, I always feel quite safe. So far nothing happened to me :)
