I fell in love with Portugal! Even though I prefer Porto, I still admit that Lisbon is wonderful! Love this city! Sincerely 💔 that's what i want to say: 1. the best ramen in my life: Panda Cantina (https://www.instagram.com/pandacantina?igsh=MWtleDNrcXljYnpmcw==); 2. buy local landmark azulejo tiles as a souvenir: Cortiço & Netos; 3. Surfing 🏄: Cascais (the city is near Lisboa) and Nazare (In November you can see the biggest waves in the world here); 4. Cabo da Roca (is a cape which forms the westernmost point of the Sintra Mountain Range, of mainland Portugal, of continental Europe, and of the Eurasian landmass. Once upon a time people called this place the end of the world. The sunset there is amazing. The photos with me were taken in this very place); 5. Pastel de nata + port wine = something you must try. Lisbon is Home of Pastel de Nata. Porto is home of port wine. The real Portuguese combo!
Posted: June 28, 2025I visited Porto, Lisbon, Sesimbra and the Algarve. Not enough time. So safe as solo traveler. Easy to drive. Kindest people ever. I loved it. I want yo go again. I stayed at Marriotts to earn or redeem. The W Algarve was my favorite Marriott ever.

I am madly in love with Portugal, but Porto has hit the nail on the head. I have nothing bad to say. I love everything about this city! I was going to do the pilgrim's route, but in the end I didn't go anywhere and stayed in the city. Because it's amazing! P.S.: Be sure to visit the distilleries of famous Port wine producers. Learn the history of the tiles on the buildings, called Azulejo. Dance with the locals to the music of street performers and leave a piece of your heart in Porto.
Posted: June 25, 2025I stayed in Lagos for 7 days and it was beautiful! I was visiting a friend there and felt safe there everywhere. the people are really open minded and nice and you are just surrounded by a great nature and the ocean and don’t have to worry about anything! i was on a low budget and just went to lidl to buy some food. I recommend informing about public transport before because I had to travel by uber a lot of the time because I don’t have a license. it’s really a lot to walk otherwise. :)

• Safe? Yes • Boring? Absolutely. Faro is good for a beach and leisurely holiday. • Cheap? I think so • is it worth visiting? not sure • If you want to swim in the ocean and it's cheaper than Madeira, then Faro is for you.

Carnaxide is a very safe neighbourhood. Have lived here for more than twenty years and never had any issues. Used to have a dog and would walk sometimes at midnight or more and never felt scared. Don’t use public transportation but friends say it’s ok.

Very safe, but only been here for a short time. My room mates who have lived here for several years have said that it is very safe, and they have had no issues walking alone at night, but it’s always better to be safe and walk with someone if you can.
