Is Valencia Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Solo travel

I stayed at Cantagua Hostel and it was awesome! The staff is great and they offer great advise and group activities. Lots of cool day trips, best was the visit of Albufera and Albufera Natural Park and the beaches of course :) All in all very beautiful city, perfect for a short trip of 2-4 days.

Valencia felt very safe, even at night in tourist areas. Must-visit: City of Arts and Sciences, Turia Gardens, Central Market, Malvarrosa Beach. Food: Try paella at Casa Carmela, horchata at Horchatería Santa Catalina, and tapas at Mercado de Colón. Budget: €50-70/day covered meals, transport, and attractions. I stayed in a boutique hostel in Ciutat Vella—clean, quiet, and well-located. Transport: Easy to navigate with walking, buses, metro and bike.

the good thing about Valencia, apart from visiting the city of science and the cathedral and various monuments in the historic center is that if you go down to the Turia, the large city park that used to be a river, you can practice an infinite number of sports and especially dance. there are lots of groups that offer various activities and Latin dances and more. the city is very safe but you always need to be a little careful. there are bars and restaurants on every corner to enjoy international food and the legendary paella. don't forget to take a nice trip to the beach, another place to practice sports and have a nice sunbath and swim.

An unspoiled medieval city, with orange tree lined streets, charm and beautiful nature. I stayed near the quartz towers, hired a bike... The city and the beach I did as 2 seperate holidays Would definatley go back

I feel very safe in Valencia, there are nice people, especially in Cabanyal. There is free entrance to the beach, you can get there by from city centre metro no.5 or by bus no. 32 or 19 (just 1,50 eur in cash for driver). Recomend to visit Ciudad de las Artes y Sciences. Also Cathedral (there Holy Grail), Torres Seranos, Central market, Museum of porcelain and get drink in Café de las Horas in centre. For salsa dancing you can visit Miky House Club or in the bars in port you can also dance.

I felt safe during the evening and at night. Ive walked alone and partnered with my queer partner and it was fine. Older people might look sometimes but no one ever said anything to me. For food i recommend looking for “tapas, cerveceria, comida valenciana”, is cheaper and the quality tends to be much better. I suggest a slow nice walk in the Mercat Central and to try horchata.

Public transport is very cheap. I bought the 10 trips card for 5 euro, and it has a 90 minutes integration time. I felt very safe, but probably also because it was summer and the days are very long. Beach is amazing! At the time, there was a circus festival and I figured that circus and clowns are very famous in Valencia, recommend to check it out.

I lived in Valencia for a year for my Erasmus. When I moved there, I had little knowledge of Spanish and no fluency, and was really scared. I had an amazing experience and felt safer than ever. In some months it became another home, where I actually felt safer than in my city in Italy! Valencia is just amazing.

I was in Valencia last November, I felt very safe travelling solo during the day and going out for dinner. I usually avoid staying out after dinner in almost all cities I visit if I’m alone but that’s my personal preference. The food was really good and cheap and I loved the paella I tried in a couple of restaurants in the neighbourhood La Xerea. I stayed at the hostel “The venue Hostel”, it was well connected but a bit far from the center and there was not a lot of social life, it was quite empty at the time I visited. Overall I loved the city and I had a nice and relaxing break by myself 😊

I felt really safe! The weather was great (obviously😂) I loved all the orange trees around the city! Super beautiful green park along the city Some vegan food options available too! Paella was 👏 I’d highly recommend it!

Valencia is very well structured , you can see that that’s a Spanish democrat caring about ppl city but still the ocupas and the crime rate make you feel worried about things… I know that it has some dangerous neighborhoods but I don’t see crime very often

I have been in Valencia for only a few days, but the city seems to be really safe. It is super clean, walkable, not super busy but there are always people on the streets and they are usually nice and helpfull.
