Solo travel experience

I went to Madrid solo. It's safe. I learned some phrases in Spanish so it helped me a lot. The city center is great. I lived in a hostel. It was cheap and clean and in the center. Liked it.

Solo travel experience

I was there alone for two nights (was a bit worried about the safety) but I never felt in danger or any of that. Even taking the metro alone felt safe, at night as well. I don't speak Spanish and didn't encounter any problems. Staying in the city center was definitely a great idea because everything was much closer and I didn't have to walk/take the metro when going home. Trains weren't expensive either, I took a Renfe to Valencia and it seemed like a reasonable price to me.

Solo travel experience

I have been to Madrid twice. It is a very safe and very fun city. Beware of the pickpocketing but the rest is so safe. A lot of things to do and see. As for the language no problem as they try to communicate in English.
