Is it safe to stay in Barceloneta area of Barcelona?


Updated 2024

Yes. Barceloneta is generally considered a safe area. Barceloneta is in the old part of Barcelona and has an interesting history.

The location is popular because it's close to the beach and to the old parts of the city called Ciutat Vella which means "old city" in Catalan language.

In recent years Barceloneta has become very popular with 'beach' tourists and young travellers, so the area has become a bit noisy and saturated with tourist shops, tourist apartments, street sellers, pickpockets and even homeless travellers, so it's quite not as charming as it used to be.
