I made a stop in Granada to go skiing in the village of Moncahil, which is also very beautiful. I was walking alone all day around Granada, I felt very safe and got to know quite a lot. It is a very beautiful city, with excellent viewpoints.

Met lots of friendly people (both Spaniards and fellow foreigners), the tapas culture was a treat and I wholeheartedly recommend you look into it when here! Even at nighttime as a young woman walking alone I felt quite safe!

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).

I have been less than a year, however when I've been out at night or any time during the day I've never seen anything worth worrying about. The public transport is efficient and people are friendly and respectful.

I only experienced one situation when I slightly felt uncomfortable in the dark on the streets in Granada. This was only one time for the 4months I’m here now. So overall I would consider the city safe.

About me
Hi, I'm Ana. I was a sociologist and a Spanish teacher until COVID, the pandemic came with a completely different job which I would have never applied for if I had better options. Surprisingly, I like it a lot and it gives me exactly what I've been longing for: time and enough money to travel. I work in England but live in Granada, Spain. So between working and traveling at the end I only spend like 4 month per year in Granada. But while I'm there I will be available for anything you need: hosting, meeting up, showing you around...
