RE: Barcelona (in reply to RTC)

I was there last year and have been many times. I saw lots of college kids from all over the world having a blast, meeting, talking and hanging out. It's a very friendly place, it's not Castilian, the main language is Catalan, so worth reading up on this cultural aspect and learning to say "hello", "please", "thank you" and "goodbye". English amongst visitors and younger residents is widespread. I found Carrer Ample, near the port, packed with decent bars and bistros buzzing into the early hours. There are no real no-go areas, gun crime or violent gangs to my knowledge. Las Ramblas has a reputation for scams and pickpockets but that's about it in my opinion, the rest is down to your daughter using her judgement. This advice seems about right: http://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Travel-g187497-s206/Barcelona:Spain:Health.And.Safety.html http://www.barcelonayellow.com/bcn-tourist/115-safety-barcelona-top-tips
