No genuine press evidence of a crime pattern specific to this barri (the historic Sant Andreu core) was found. An August 2025 arrest of a serial robbery suspect took place 'in Sant Andreu' but the robberies themselves occurred in other districts — he was merely apprehended there. District-wide crime figures show falling crime through 2024-2026. Sources checked: totbarcelona.cat, Aug 2025; metropoliabierta.elespanol.com, 2024-2026.

Frequently asked questions
Is Sant Andreu safe?
Wandroz currently rates Sant Andreu in Barcelona as an area where the review found nothing traveller-relevant to report, both by day and after dark. This comes from a structured local-source assessment: an area-level review of credible local sources — local and national news, municipal and police-published material, and official surveys where they exist — consolidated across sources rather than taken from a single report. Barcelona publishes no comparable neighbourhood-level crime dataset; where a city does, Wandroz uses it instead.
Is Sant Andreu safe at night?
At night, Sant Andreu is rated as an area where the review found nothing traveller-relevant to report. If you're unsure, it's worth checking recent local reviews for your specific street or block, since a neighbourhood-wide rating can't capture block-by-block variation.
Is Sant Andreu a good area to stay in as a tourist?
Sant Andreu's day rating (an area where the review found nothing traveller-relevant to report) is the more relevant one for typical daytime tourist activity; check the night rating too if you'll be out late. The Booking.com link on this page searches Sant Andreu itself.
Is there official crime data for Sant Andreu?
Not an official government crime feed — Sant Andreu's rating comes from Wandroz's own current local/national press and survey research for this specific area instead (see the note on this page for what was checked and the sources used). An absence of recent negative coverage is treated as inconclusive, not as proof the area is safe. If you live in or know Sant Andreu well, you can suggest a correction using the link below.
