Solo travel experience

Malaga is one of the best places you can travel as a solo female. I felt SO safe there. There are cops EVERYWHERE. The community is young, lively and helpful, and the center of the city is very easy to navigate on foot. During my time there, I joined a pub crawl, two hiking tours, tapas tours and walking tours. All were really fun. After my solo travel, I got a job opportunity in Malaga and moved in. Then I actually realized how safe it was. I’d like to stress this one more time. Nothing ever happens in Malaga. On multiple occasions I walked home alone at 4am, nothing happened. I have never heard of an assault, theft or robery. Only downside to Malaga is that it is too crowded, and can get difficult to find seats at popular restaurants if you don’t have a reservation.

Málaga is a great place indeed ! Nice beaches, friendly people, interesting museums, beautiful towns and scenery around. I clearly recommend it. Besides, it's a really safe city and it's easy to get around either by train or bus

Solo travel experience

- It is a very safe city. I even took walks alone late at night and felt very safe - I started in a budget friendly hostel, it was 14 euros a night. Extremely clean and 20 minutes walking from the beach (Name - Barbatuke Eco Stay) - All the restaurants near the beach are amazing - It is easy to get around the city through bus (1.5 euros a trip)

Group travel experience

Very safe city, just a few neighborhoods to avoid alone late at night. Beautiful beach. Alcazaba is a must-visit, especially during sunset. Clubbing nightlife was good at Sala Gold, lots of international people to meet.

Solo travel experience

Malaga was very nice and safe to travel alone. I have discovered the ancient castillo de Gibralfaro and la alcazaba. The weather was just perfect and the food incredibly tasty and cheap. I stayed in a hotel with pods. It was a new experience for me as I never stayed in such place, but if you like gaming that is a place to go.

Solo travel experience

I was in a three week language trip in Malaga Spain. It was amazing, and I learned a lot of Spanish and a lot of the Spanish culture as well as their history. I felt very safe living in a host family.  I ate a lot of amazing food, and went to the prettiest beaches along the coast of Spain.

Solo travel experience

I travelled alone to Malaga, and from there to several places in the area. I visited Gibraltar, Marbella, Benalmadena, Torremolinos, the Caminito Del Ray trail, Ronda, Seville, and Nerja. I really enjoyed it. It's a very safe place, and transportation is very cheap, they have promotions on trains, which makes it very easy and budget-friendly.

Málaga is a vibrant city , with good weather, nice people and tasty food. The beaches are not the best I have seen , but if you want to have a funny vacation in a young city is the right place. The place for who wants to party!

Solo travel experience

I spent 5 nights alone in Malaga. I really enjoyed it. There's a lot to see and do, charming bars and restaurants, lots of walks and available tours. On the first evening, I participated in a wine and snacks tour, and one day I chose a trip to Caminito del Rey. The rest of the time I spent exploring the city and the coastline.

Be sure not to miss the Mercado Atarazanas (main market), one of the best in Spain. Take a stroll and taste fresh seafood tapas in one of the bars. The best views are from the terrace at the AC Marriott, but the rooftop terrace at Batik in Malaga Premium also offers great views of Alcazaba. You may consider a free guided walk on your first morning to familiarize yourself with the area and learn more about its history.

Things to do: * Thissen Museum * Picasso Museum * Rooftop bar at the Marriott Hotel * Walk around the Port in Malaga, lots of great restaurants in the city center, close to the Cathedral.

Head to Alcazaba to admire the spectacular views of the sea and the city! Walk along Palmeral de las Sorpresas and past Muelle Uno to find the Centre Pompidou Malaga art museum, and then continue your walk past the lighthouse to have a seafood lunch on the beach. Mercado Atarazanas (an amazing food market, if you can, go there early in the morning, there are great places to eat). Nearby is the very atmospheric and traditional Antigua Casa de la Guardia for a drink. Try a free guided walk, it's a great way to get to know the city.
