Segurtasun eta Larrialdietako Kontaktuak
Barcelona is generally a safe city, and most visitors will not have any unpleasant encounters. However, pickpocketing is prevalent in popular tourist areas such as Las Ramblas and on public transport. It is therefore recommended that visitors remain vigilant, leave passports and valuables in a safe location, and do not leave bags unattended.
If you would like any further information regarding safety in Barcelona, we recommend reviewing the official travel advice provided by your national government.
