Is Seville Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Seville is generally considered to be a safe destination for female travelers. The city is well-policed and has a low crime rate. Women should take the same precautions as they would in any other city, such as avoiding walking alone at night and being aware of their surroundings. Additionally, it is recommended to dress modestly and avoid carrying large amounts of cash. With these precautions in mind, female travelers should have a safe and enjoyable experience in Seville.

Seville has a lot to offer during your city trip. You can enjoy the beautiful attractions and sightseeing of Seville, the warm weather, the delicious tapas, long nights, ancient culture, temperament and flamenco. Seville is a city where you can easily spend a full three days visiting all of the sights.

Solo travel experience

I went to Sevilla during semana santa and witnessed the overwhelming crowd, locals who all dressed up and the procession. Although I was aware that many roads would be blocked/ flocked before my trip, I spent 1.5 hour walking to my destination. Fortunately I met two girls during my solo trip, so I didn't lose my way. I only know a bit of Spanish from Duolingo, not even A1, but feel like I happen to learn the most useful phrases because I can somehow communicate with non-English speaking people.lol Must-see attractions: Real Alcazar de Sevilla, Cathedral and La Giralda Tower, Plaza de España and free guided walk I also paid for the Cuarto Real Alto in the palace, but imo not really worth it. Acconmodation: I stayed at a hostel near the Cathedral. Great location.

As spring is coming to Andalusia, I’ve had an fabulous time in Seville. The city was beautiful with blooming trees and flowers. Food was good and cheap. The Alcazar was a lovely walk and a must go. Visit in some later time in April onwards and you can also see the bullfighting in Plaza del Toros (if that’s a thing you want to see). Overall a great experience.

I stayed in Seville for a week last fall and loved it. Walked everywhere, very safe and beautiful. The streets are lined with thousands of orange trees. Stayed in an Airbnb right by the cathedral. From Seville I did a day tour to Granada (the Alhambra is a must) and Tangiers, Morocco on another day. Long day but so worth it to cross the Straight of Gibraltar and walk inside the ancient Medina.

Group travel experience

We went to Seville in October and it was amazing. We rented a boat at the Plaza de Espana, it was so nice and super reasonable. We had some amazing cheap tapas and sangria near Alameda de Hercules at a restaurant called Antigua Taberna de Las Escobas. We used Voi electric scooters to see some of the further outskirts of the city across the river which was really nice, it was less than €7 for a day pass on the scooters which was a great way to see the city and we could hop on and off whenever we wanted to. We found some really nice places to eat/drink along this really sweet but lively street called Calle Francos as well.
