Is Lisbon Safe for Women?

It feels very safe, I always am on my own and nothing happened to me. However I heard of a male friend being bothered in Cais do Sodre area at night. I would just avoid any dodgy area late a night and use common sense.

Lisbon …a place where you’ll find kind people, cool places to explore and plenty of nice restaurants for all tastes and pockets. The weather is great from April to October and when tired from the city vibe you can either go to Sintra or Cascais, or cross the bridge to enjoy the sunny days by the sea. Lisbon gives you the full package for a perfect vacay :)

Lisbon is a pretty safe city. I have never had any issues walking alone at night but of course there are certain areas you should avoid, specially if there are no people around. I was never mugged or assaulted

Lisbon is a very safe place. Overall people are polite and you don’t have crime happening. You will also find police around specially during the night. All streets are very busy and during the night if you go out, you will also have a lot of places with light and you will always find some kind of movement 

Lisbon is a beautiful city with friendly people (I know I’m biased 😅). I’ve lived here most of my life (except for when I was living abroad but, even then, I would come home often), have never been mugged, seriously harassed or had any trouble. I often go home by myself after a night out or a diner without any concern for my safety. That being said, there are of course parts of the city that are not as safe and should be avoided late at night, especially by solo women. But overall, you be fine in your own!

Lisbon is pretty safe. Men can be quite misogynistic and in your face but overall, you’re pretty safe to walk around alone. The worst that has happened to me is getting harassed on the street; but other than that, everyone is quite friendly and nice

I am from Lisbon. And I lived here ever, I never felt unsafe. It is my favourite city of all time, and it's not because it is my city. I know that everyone would love to live here. Everyone is friendly, and no one cares if you are a foreigner. Everyone is helpful, and there is no discrimination here :) All love and safety :)

Pretty safe, don't worry about be alone in the street during night and day.a bit be careful for pick pocket. Maybe on the public transport you can watch better your bag. And even in some street you should take care about drog addicted person who can be a bit aggressive but you should just ignore them.

Lisbon is really safe, for everyone. I highly recommend to visit Lisbon, even if you are a woman and you are alone. One of the most safest cities in the world. I live in Lisbon and never something bad happened me or any of my friends

Lisbon is very safe to go around even in late hours. The city is very much walkable but if u want to go further away you have support from transportation system. Even in late hours even for a women is pretty safe in most areas of the city center. Just be a little careful in some areas like intendente or Martim Moniz and some areas in the Sintra train line. But overall a feel safe wherever I go.

Solo travel experience

Portugal was one of the places I felt the safest, even when walking alone at night. The prices are pretty reasonable, not different from most European countries. The food was amazing! I have lots of recommendations, I'm a total foodie, so please dm me if you want an indication! I met so many amazing people, learnt so much about the culture, I swear you can't run out of things to do! I stayed mostly at hostels and Airbnbs. I'd recommend staying close to baixa chiado if you like the night life.

Solo travel experience

Lisbon was my first-ever solo trip and it was one of the best places I have ever visited. Loved each and every second of it. It was so safe, with lovely people, and beautiful views. I fell in love with the city, the food, and the scenery.

Solo travel experience

I had my very first solo traveling experience in Lisbon during summer 2023 and I absolutely loved it! I stayed there for 5 weeks volunteering in a hostel in exchange for accommodation. I got to meet heaps of locals and other travelers, see new places etc. 110% recommend.

Group travel experience

Lisbon was one of my favorite cities I’ve traveled in. Everyone is so nice, so my friends and I got all our recommendations from everyone we talked to, at different restaurants and shops, and had an incredible time. One of the best little areas is Lx factory! Cute shops and restaurants.
