Since the city is small, it is really safe and you can walk or travel easily by yourself. People are helpful but in terms of ing. language you may have some problems when you talk to middle age and elderly people because they don't really know English. Besides, the city has really good beaches. You gonna love it.

The city of Aveiro is super calm and peaceful! It's called the Portuguese Venice due to the existing canals. There's no crime at all, and even at night, it's super safe. It has a good climate and good food! The existing public transportation is good.
Posted: September 8, 2024Extremely safe city for solo female travelers and travels in general. Laid back but very helpful people that would step in should there be a need for it and will provide general info. Very low crime rate.
Posted: September 1, 2024Aveiro is a lovely calm city near the ocean. I have lived for five years in the center of the city, walking everywhere, day and night, and always got home safe. Compared to many Portuguese cities, I consider Aveiro one of the safest - however I do not encourage long walks at night if you are alone, be cautious and on alert while walking in hidden places. The city isn't big, but people there have big, big hearts. 🌊🩷

Aveiro is a small time with a low crime rate. I've lived here almost my whole life and neither me or any of my friends was ever robbed or physically assaulted. At least in Aveiro city center or Praia da Barra, you can walk wherever, day or night, even as a solo woman.

This is one of the most greenest city I've ever seen. The culture and people are really nice and the city is quite safe to travel. Hotels and houses to rent are a bot expensive but food are acceptable. Beaches here are really good especially for friends groups and parties and of course for swimming. In summer is really warm tho..
