On this page you find all the safehouses available in Grand Theft Auto III, as well as in the GTA 3 Definitive Edition, along with their map locations.

GTA III features 3 safehouses / hideouts for Claude, one in each of the islands of Liberty City (Portland, Staunton Island, and Shoreside Vale), which are unlocked automatically, for free, as you progress through the story.

Safe houses in GTA III allow you to save progress by approaching the front door, and they also give you the ability to store cars inside the garages. In addition, mission rewards and weapons unlocked by collecting hidden packages will spawn at all safehouses / hideouts.

Unlike GTA Vice City and GTA San Andreas, GTA III does not have the ability to buy new properties, meaning these three hideouts are the only saving points in the game. However, the GTA 3 Definitive Edition makes things a little easier thanks to the auto-save feature.

Clicking on a safehouse below brings you to their detailed information, location, how to unlock each property, and more.
