Solo travel
I feel verry safe in the city during the day and during the night . There are quite some good restaurants in the city but I would say go at a good time because restaurants can get very busy at some certain times

Málaga is a small but pretty town. The beach and the port are really beautiful. The restaurants are really nice and people too. But It could get a little risky during the night. There are a lot of homeless and drunk people, so always be cautious and safe.

I had an amazing time in Malaga, i felt 100% safe walking at night, using public transport or exploring the city, all alone! Food was amazing, you HAVE TO try paella! With chicken, rabbit, shrimp, tofu: all of it was amazing! It's usually a big portion so be prepared!

Malaga is a very safe city even though it has highly populated tourism areas. Yet, i personally think anyone traveling the world should be aware of their surroundings in all costs. Especially in the touristic old town center part of the city is home to many people all around the world. Stay safe people :)
Posted: December 19, 2025I feel verry safe in Malaga even walking around during the night alone. So if you’re looking for a city where you can feel save I would recommend this city. I feel like I can just be myself without judgement
Posted: October 26, 2025Málaga is a very safe city, just avoid some neighborhoods like Palma Palmilla or Los Asperones. Also take care of your belongings specially during nights or in the city center and turistics places.

About me
Hi! My name is Magdalena, I'm a 19 years old psychology student living in Poznan, Poland 🇵🇱 (a 500k city in the western part of the country). I love travelling across the world, discovering new places and learning about different cultures, preferably while meeting great people and making memories that will stay with me for a long time😊 I'm usually a very active type of traveller - I'm always down for walking tours and sports activities, but also visiting art galleries/ museums to learn about the history of the place that I'm visiting.🎨 I'm more than happy to give advice for anyone who would like to travel to Poland, since I've been in almost every major city, so feel free to ask for anything! ❣ I'm not always available for hosting, but I'm happy to share some space and spend some time together if you ask in advance.
