Is Valencia Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Solo travel

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!

Perfect city to just stroll around - the vibe is so good. Lots of cafes and bars on the streets to hang around with a lot of people even during the week. I was there at the beginning of November and the weather was perfect. Do not buy any public transportation tickets in advance, believe me you won‘t need that much because strolling around is way nicer.

I went on my first solo trip in September last year to Valencia and absolutely loved it. I stayed in a small hotel right by the beach. I felt safe, the weather was perfect, and the city was relatively cheap. Everyone I met was nice and friendly, but I would suggest learning some basic Spanish to make communication easier.

Valencia is safe, as are most cities in Europe. You can walk alone at night without being really worried. It's safe, but don't go walking around areas in the suburbs like barrio del Carmen at 3am as you're gonna have problems. Just use common sense

Valencia it’s a very safe, touristic city. There’s always street movement so that makes me feel safe. Also Gandia, my neighborhood, it’s a very chill, residential coast place. I’ve walked alone at night in both places and slept in the airport and everything’s just fine.
