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!

I 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.

I think Málaga is generally a safe city for girls. During the day, I feel comfortable walking around anywhere. At night, I do avoid some less busy or poorly lit streets, but overall it’s easy to enjoy the city and explore without worrying too much.

My name is Doğa (it’s pronounced “doa”), I currently live in Malaga, Spain. Here, I work as a volunteer for children and people with disabilities. I am an English teacher from Turkey. In my free time I try to travel and explore Spain and other countries around. Unfortunately, I cannot host people because I share the house with 4 other volunteers and our association doesn’t let us host people in the house. But of course, I am available for hangouts!
