Madrid is much safer than any American city !
By far !
The Goverment reported on 2023 in Madrid 119 people stabbed,165% more than in Barcelona (in Barcelona only 43, in Valencia only 37)
I’ve walked around day and night and felt safe.
The only place that made me fee pretty uncomfortable was the chamartin train station (not the metro) it’s a dump
Watch out with knife and gun crime, in Madrid 10 people are stabbed every week (look for "Ola de apuñalamientos en Madrid: registrados una decena de heridos por arma blanca en el último mes", ABC newspaper).
On 2023, Madrid 26 murdered, Barcelona only 11.
One of europe s safest cities,nothing to be afraid off.

Madrid is considered one of the safest megacities in the world, compared to other cities with millions of inhabitants.
The chance of getting mugged or killed is like 30 times less than London, Paris, the US and especially South America.
Go visit Stockholm, Brussels, Berlin, or the south of Italy... you will find Madrid very safe in comparison.
In a couple of months Madrid will get new street cameras, and crime will go down even more.
But be careful in the metro there are many thieves
But in Madrid I had my wallet stolen by three moroquian teenagers in the downtown.
At the police station we had to qeue up 2 hours since it was plenty of tourists reporting thefts.
I cannot recommend Madrid.
Gangs of "macheteros" have taken over the city, so go to there at your own risk.
attacks agains elderly people and women by moroccan youngsters... The government does not do anything and they victimize the collective. The people who complain are called racists. It's a popular word to use nowadays...
The society gives them rights but nor responsibilities. They give them money and assistance while they have a multiple crime history behind. It's like free pass for everything, since they are ''vulnerable colectives''. How about the elderly and women? We are being eaten by this rats.
Local people trying to work and be good citizens, but they cannot even afford rent nowadays. And the government encouraging the importation of problematic people that have little future in our society because their mindset is so rotten.
Nothing makes sense anymore...
Criminals are not being punished enough, and locals get fines by breaking some stupid rules such as laying on the sand or opening a bar terrace during covid.
However, pickpocketing is an issue (as it is in every major city nowadays), and certain hate crimes (especially against the LGBTQ community) are on the rise.
Madrid is also has the LOWEST MURDER RATE OF ANY EUROPEAN CITY OTHER THAN LISBOA.
- Madrid holds the largest drug market of Europe, which leads to very high violent crime rates.
- Madrid is the Spanish leading city in randon citizens being kidnapped take It very seriously.
- Leading city in street shootings and people stabbed in the street.
- It s the city with more "no go" áreas such as Usera, Casa de Campo, Batan, La Latina, Vallecas, Lavapiés, Ciudad Lineal. As you can ser An awful lotm
- There are street shootings by South América and African gangs, which doesn t happen in any other Spanish city.
To sum up Madrid is where you have more chances of getting injured.
Go there at your own risk and venture.
so unsafe city, the downtown is taken over by africans, my friend had to give over all his belonguins.
I can´t recommend.
Madrid is one of the safest cities not just in Spain, but in Europe. In a day and age where cities like Paris, London, Berlin, and Brussels are seeing their image deteriorate because of crime, pickpocketing, and decay, Madrid manages to remain a place where one does
Is it a perfect city? Absolutely not. Are there areas where you need to be careful? Absolutely. But compared to other major cities, I am always in awe at how Madrid manages to remain safe and welcoming. Maybe there are benefits in nàot being a tourist-magnet and over glorified euro-las vegas.
Now, a special message to Aart Geldof: I noticed that you accused people from madrid of being jealous (had to correct you there) and that there were more "western expats" in Barcelona. My response: And? Madrid also has a large "European expat community", but it's much more than that: it's a multicultural city with immigrants from places as diverse as China, Latin America, Morocco, Turkey, Romania, Portugal etc. Barcelona is a great city, but in terms of ethnic diversity Madrid is a true melting pot.
