Was pretty good, first ever time travelling without family. Went to see my bf but was spending the days alone since he had school. Was an overall nice experience, didn't encounter any pick pocketers or any mishaps. Stuck to just exploring without a plan, so I didn't see the attractions Barcelonas known for but cuz of that i did see many little beauties of the city. One underrated beautiful location u have to visit is Monastery of Pedralbes, €5.20 for a beautifully quiet place away from the buzz of the city, spent almost 3 hours there soaking up the peace. Hope u enjoy ur travel to Barcelona!

I didn't stay for long. It was february, so there were not many people in smaller parts of the city. I recommend visiting the city center but also other quieter areas. There are a lot of beaches, we even got in the water on 13th of february.

I went alone with my car to Spain in October. I stayed for nine days and there wasn't a single rainy day. The temperature was around 25°C. So it's ideal to go there off-season. I mainly wanted to see mountains. I was not disappointed. However, where I was, there weren’t too many activities to do. I saw two lakes with turquoise water, and I was able to swim. The water was still cold!

Barcelona is a beautiful city and I’d love to visit again. Great food, affordable prices, and friendly people, even if English isn’t always spoken well. Don’t miss Park Güell, Sagrada Familia, and the Picasso Museum. Hostels start at around €20 per night. The only downside is public transport, as a one-way ticket costs €2.65❤️

Pretty save, but I did carry a bag with a clasp and a zipper. And also always held it next to me. To be extra safe also was in my lap when in a restaurant. As a woman be careful in the metros at night, nothing happened to me personally, but I heard stories so better be safe than sorry!
Posted: January 15, 2026I know people who got robbed here, so take care of your bags and stuff; they are professionals. Very rarely will you be able to get your documents back. Don't get too close to people who feed parrots; they will give you seeds and charge you some money for it.
Posted: January 9, 2026Sevilla is a very safe city. You can book Uber, Cabify or taxis in a very easy and cheap way. You should avoid uncertain zones which are very far away from the city centre. While staying in the centre you can feel safe and free
Posted: December 31, 2025I'd say it's pretty safe if you avoid certain areas and just be a bit vigilant while travelling alone. Otherwise, the buses run all night and it's pretty safe. I'd avoid going to El Raval and be aware at the beaches at night.
Posted: December 31, 2025Very safe, I would just try to avoid La Calzada and the train station at night. Be also careful with your belongings at San Lorenzo beach if you go for a swim on Summer. Apart from that you can trust people. They are very friendly.
