I traveled to Valencia alone, but since I have friends living there, it felt more like a family visit. It’s a calm seaside city with a fun side, perfect for cycling. While it has fewer museums than Madrid, the ones I visited were lovely. The cathedral was impressive, but the best part was simply walking through the streets and biking along the city.

I was living in Valencia, Spain for 1 month this year and i felt super safe there as a solo traveler. Not many activities to do in the city, but its a calm, less touristy sea city in Spain that has many historical places.

I traveled to Valencia with my brother and it was an incredible experience. I did feel that Valencia has its own culture, they’re Valencian before they’re Spanish. I really liked this experience there was a lot of cool museum to visit and the food was amazing. Definitely don’t forget to visit the main market.

Solo travel

I felt quite safe, I was mainly visiting the city centre, Jezus district and I walked around the beach quite a lot. I would reccommend booking accommodation in the city centre, as there are a lot of people there at all times and it's more tourists friendly.

It’s very safe to go anywhere by day or night People is very kind and helpful if there’s a problem or incident If you go party it is very safe too. Women in here are all united to protect women. Police is very helpful too.

Valencia is mostly safe but you have to check the zones you're at, like cabanyal, els orriols, marxalenes that are some problematic zones, the center or benimaclet and university zones are mostly safer

It's pretty safe even at night. But there are some places where I don't recommend to go after dark: Park Turia (only in a day!) and Cabanyal (there is a crime in districts near the sea). IF YOU GO HOME AFTER PARTY: it's better to go on taxi, because transport goes bad at night depends on area. But if you're in a group of people it's okay to wait a bus.

I feel very safe. I can go back to my place by night without worrying, and the police is very nice if you have any problems. In generally nobody will talk to you without respect in the street. You can travel alone everywhere in Valencia.

Valencia is safe, especially during the day. But as a girl being alone and arround in the night might be a little scared (as almost all cities). It usually And normally nothing happens, but there is usually a greater chance of being robbed or scammed when you look like are a tourist alone, safer in group
