Safety & usefull info

When it comes to safety in Granada, the rule of thumb is to simply use your common sense and you’ll be fine. Major crimes in Granada are practically unheard of. However, as a popular tourist destination, incidents of pick-pocketing and bag-snatching in Granada are more frequent- especially in popular tourist areas like the Albaicín and Sacromonte. Chances are that nothing will happen to you, but to be sure just take a few simple precautions… trust us, having your wallet taken from your pocket can put quite a damper on your trip!

Some Safety Tips

-Keep a watchful eye on your belongings.

-Women: use purses with zippers and sling them across your chest instead of over one shoulder.

-Be particularly aware in crowded, touristy areas- unsuspecting tourists are the easiest targets.

-Don’t carry all of your valuable items- passport, money, credit cards- in one pocket.

-Carry around a copy of your passport and leave the original in a safe in your hotel.

-Be sensible- for example, don’t count your life’s savings sitting on a city bench.

Despite the warnings, don’t panic! Granada is an extremely relaxed city in which people generally feel very safe. In the highly unlikely event that something does happen and you want to report a crime, get in touch with the national police (policía nacional).
