Valencia is just as safe as any other popular travel city. You can walk through the streets (even at night) without fear of bad things. However, beware of pickpockets in the high season (March, June to August). These like to strike in crowded places. Handbags should always be closed and carried at the front. Backpacks should be avoided as they can be easily opened from the back. It is not uncommon for bold pickpockets to steal cell phones from their hands and disappear into the crowd.
