Is there a lot of crime in Madrid?

Answer this Question

We asked people if there is a lot of crime. They answered...

"Madrid is generally considered to be a safe city, with crime levels lower than the Spanish average. However, like any large city, there are areas where crime is more common. Pickpocketing and other petty crimes are the most common types of crime in Madrid, and tourists should take extra precautions when visiting crowded areas," said a member in Madrid, Spain.
