Safety & Emergencies in Sevilla, Spain

While major crimes in Sevilla are practically non-existent, petty crimes such as pick-pocketing and bag-snatching are more common. Thieves typically prey upon unsuspecting tourists- especially the ones who aren't paying much attention to their belongings- in crowded or touristy areas. While wandering through Santa Cruz, make sure your bags are secure, as the winding alleyways make for a perfect getaway for thieves.Basically, the rule of thumb is just to use your common sense, be aware of both your surroundings and your belongings, and know that it's better to be safe than sorry. spanish police
Despite the warnings, chances that something will actually happen to you are slim to none- Sevilla is an extremely safe city. However, if you are robbed and want to report a theft, you should go to the national police ("policía nacional"). There are police stations, or "comisarías," throughout the various parts of the city. The closest one to the center, however, is located on the Alameda de Hércules.
