Is Granada Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Solo travel

I feel so safe as a solo traveler even at night. I do recommend to anyone to visit here. This is my favorite trip so far. You can find a food on your budget. The town is so cute. But please bring a good shoe.

I have been traveling around Spain since May. Granada is definitely on the top of my list of places I’ve visited. It’s beautiful and chic but still filled with culture and history. There are lots of options for places to shop as well as eat. I took a 30 minute bus ride to a small village in the Sierra Nevadas and did a hike called Los Cohorros. I highly recommend it was beautiful and along a river which you could jump in along the way.

Granada is a beautiful city with interesting history. The surrounding mountains are stunning. I want to go back to hike! I was there for three days and stayed in the old part of town. I felt completely safe. I was not out past 11 am so can’t say how it is for late night. People are friendly and it’s easy to travel around. Loved the Alhambra. It’s a must see. It’s incredible and so interesting to learn of its history and the Andalusia region.

Grenada is absolutely charming, I went there on my first solo trip and loved every minute. It is located right next to the Sierra Nevada mountains, and I spent one day on an amazing hike during sunset. It is also much more traditionally Spanish than some of the larger cities.

Of all the places I have visited in Spain (this was my 4th city), Granada was the least friendly for solo travelers. I was turned away from tables, and all food/wine tours required at least two people. These tours were my favorite way to connect with other travelers. This was discouraging and made me feel really unwanted. The city was very easy to traverse on foot, and the walk to Alhambra itself was beautiful (everything is uphill though, so bring good walking shoes with thick soles that can handle the cobblestone streets).

It’s a safe city overall although late at night it’s better to walk through well lighted main streets rather than the narrower backstreets. I’ve never felt like I was being followed or even catcalled in the streets. However, if you go to very crowded places specially during the city’s celebrations you have to be mindful of pickpockets.

I love I can walk home alone at night (in my home town I could never do it)… I feel really safe in the city. I feel really safe in the city at all hours because there are always other people around. This is in the city center, the outskirts probably don't work the same way.
