Barcelona is a safe city as a general rule, but as in all major cities of the world, there are certain situations to watch out for and avoid. Here are a few tips to make sure you don’t have any problematic experiences while you are staying with us.

• Pick pockets and scam merchants often work in groups and move very quickly - if a group of people comes to you attempting to gain your attention, turn your back and walk away.
• Only carry around the money you need for that day. If you carry a backpack, wear it with the bag in front of you so that no one has easy access to the pack.
• If you carry a bag its strap should go diagonally over your neck and shoulder, so that it goes under your arm.
  Keep the bag in front of you - choose a small ordinary day bag with a zip fastener top. For additional security, zip your jacket or sweater over the bag.
• If you need to look up anything on a map go into a cafe and sit down rather than look up your destination in the street. This will mark you as a tourist and potential target.
• In Cafes and restaurants pay attention to your valuables. If you can't keep them in sight, wrap the bag strap around your leg and keep it under the table.
• Emulate the dress code of the Catalans - try to blend with the locals and take the opportunity to go shopping for the world-renowned Spanish fashion.
• Avoid walking in dark isolated streets, especially if you are alone. When visiting the beach, do not leave your belongings unattended.
• At stations, people are often vulnerable because they are juggling their wallet, tickets, and other items. Keep your tickets separate and your passport easily available and safe.
• Take out a travel insurance policy. In the case that you are robbed, make sure you meet with the police and fill out a statement – your travel insurance is often void without this step. Make sure you read your policy carefully so you know exactly what you need to do.
