Overall trend is positive: crime in Sarrià hit a 4-year low in Jan-May 2026, even as burglaries rose citywide. Still, recent isolated incidents were reported in 2026 (two home burglaries, a smash-and-grab at a luxury handbag store, an attempted jewelry-store robbery), prompting increased patrols. Residents express persistent unease despite improving statistics, mostly around empty homes being targeted. Sources checked: cronicaglobal.elespanol.com, Jun 2026; es.ara.cat, 2026.

Frequently asked questions
Is Sarrià safe?
Wandroz currently rates Sarrià in Barcelona as an area where the review found nothing traveller-relevant to report during the day and roughly average compared to other neighbourhoods in Barcelona at night. 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 Sarrià safe at night?
At night, Sarrià is rated as roughly average compared to other neighbourhoods in Barcelona. 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 Sarrià a good area to stay in as a tourist?
Sarrià'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 Sarrià itself.
Is there official crime data for Sarrià?
Not an official government crime feed — Sarrià'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 Sarrià well, you can suggest a correction using the link below.
