Aveiro is a little city, and it's safely than like Porto or Lisbon in Portugal cities. Aveiro is an academical city in Portugal and most of population here are students. It's very safe at all to walk even in late nights alone in Aveiro's streets.
Posted: May 29, 2025Since 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. 🌊🩷

Portugal
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..

Hi, I'm Rita and I'm a 20 years old biology student. I'm a scout (rover) in Portugal. All my life my parents did the max they could to show me the Mediterranean so now I have a soft spot for Barcelona, Rome, Venice, Pompei, Madrid, etc. I speak fluent english, spanish, and I'm learning italian but it's a slow learning because of my biology degree. When I get a job, I'm thinking of staying here in Portugal, but on holidays traveling everywhere. I wanna go back to Spain, Italy and I wanna discover Japan because (it's a funny story with college friends) when I was a freshwoman, an older friend told me I was a lot like Osamu Dazai so now I wanna go see his tomb and getting to know more about how he lived. Anyways, I love traveling and I can't wait to start making new friends :) P.S.: if you have a soft spot for fantasy books written by women, we're gonna get along really well :)
