Is there a lot of crime in Bilbao?

Answer this Question

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

"Bilbao, Spain, generally has a low crime rate compared to other major cities. Most of the crimes reported are non-violent and involve theft or pickpocketing, particularly in crowded tourist areas. Vandalism and drug-related crimes also occur but are relatively infrequent. The city has a strong police presence, which contributes to the overall safety of the residents and visitors. However, like any urban area, it is always advisable for individuals to take precautions, such as not leaving belongings unattended and being aware of their surroundings, especially at night. Despite these minor issues, Bilbao is considered a safe city to live in and visit," said another expat in Bilbao , Spain.
