How safe is Valencia for solo female travelers?

Travel safety index

4.6 /5

based on 30 experiences from female travelers

Couple travel

Valencia is a really beautiful city with a big parc. If you like to run it's perfect for you. But even if not it's just beautiful here. The people are all nice and welcoming and up to include you in their activities. You can walk everywhere and you can book cheap but really good hostels in the center.

Group travel

I traveled to Valencia alone, but since I have friends living there, it felt more like a family visit. It’s a calm seaside city with a fun side, perfect for cycling. While it has fewer museums than Madrid, the ones I visited were lovely. The cathedral was impressive, but the best part was simply walking through the streets and biking along the city.

Solo travel

I was living in Valencia, Spain for 1 month this year and i felt super safe there as a solo traveler. Not many activities to do in the city, but its a calm, less touristy sea city in Spain that has many historical places.

I generally feel very safe here. I feel safe enough to walk back home with my headphones in - which I don't generally do for quite obvious reasons. It's also very easy to book Ubers that get to your location in about 10 minutes throughout the entire day.

I would describe Valencia as mostly safe city both during the day and night. Haven’t felt unsafe neither in public transport, nor in taxis, nor walking in the city during the day, nor partying at night and returning late. But one things I would recommend is to be cautious about your things, do not leave them unattended for any time. Nothing haven’t been stolen from me, but there was an attempt in Turia at around noon while I was on picnic. Also some of my friends unfortunately have been robbed.

I never have the feeling of being unsafe or on the constant look out! I am always very aware of my surroundings, you always have to be. But I never had the feeling I had to look out more than usual or be more aware of my phone, bag etc.
