I’m in northern Spain and have to take a train to Madrid to get to a flight. But I arrive to the train station too late at 11:40 so booking is not an option since most places check in are at 12:00 and I’d probably not get in time.
Would it be too dangerous to stay up all night on the street?
Personally I believe that the inner part of this very civilised city should be safe. Maybe there’s a few suburbs that should be avoided, idk.
FWIW I did the same years ago and got some of the best impressions of the city in question (not Madrid, but EU), and great photos. I didn’t feel the slightest bit of danger. But I’m 185cm and obviously male. That does make a difference.
The problem is that I’m 1.60m and I’ve been harassed previously in an airport at broad daylight. That’s why I’m a bit scared to do this but I think I’ll stay by the police department
