Is Valencia Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Group travel

It is really save, everywhere where Police and so on. Also the City is very beautiful and affordable. There are many good restaurants and we stayed in an Hostel for 3 days. Not expensive like 20€ per Night(Cantagua Hostel) and it was really familiar.

i felt super safe in valencia for some reason mostly the people were super nice and the food was great! not much to see in the city to be honest i went to the jardin botanic garden and it was pretty cool other than that i saw the city center and stuff it was cool also i recommend the most hanging out near the sea it has the best views!

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.

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 don't feel any fear of something happening to me, it can always happen, but the probability is very, very low. It's a very big city and almost all places are full of people, which provides more security.

Valencia is a quiet city and you can easily walk around at night. Of course it is always recommend not to walk alone in dark streets. But overall I never experienced something bad in the last 3 years.
