Is Lisbon Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Lisbon

I think that Lisbon is a safe city in general. Of course, as a solo female I have to pay attention on what is around me, specially at night. But I have never been robbed, or experienced anything similar.

Lisbon doesn’t feel really safe to me. Cascais is more calm. Walking alone at night in Lisbon feels unsafe and I always want to be near light and group of SOBER people. On Fridays and weekends there are lot of drunk people. It makes non drinking people uncomfortable.

It depends on the place, Lisbon can be very beautiful but sometimes dangerous, if it's in the center of Lisbon, I'm not much of a night out person, but when I did go out, my experiences weren't all that bad, but sometimes there are people, especially men (as expected) who can be a bit aggressive, either because they're drunk or because they want trouble, or maybe both, nothing has ever happened to me directly.

Lisbon is a very safe city, overall. I believe it's considered the 3rd safest ciry in the World, and with good reason. Of course there's worries, walking alone at night will always be a scary thing no matter where you are, but I'd say the people are nice and helpful and, most times, it'll be easy to get out of any tough situations you could find yourself in.

Lisbon is a very safe town. I Lived there for a few months and never had a problem while going home late. I was never bothered by men outside or never stopped in the street. As a female solo traveller, it feels very safe.

I feel very safe in most parts of Lisbon. I don’t really go to the bars at night alone or walk around areas late at night alone though. I think most women feel perfectly safe in Lisbon and other than some catcalling, there’s nothing to worry about

It's the kind of city usually described as very safe, as long as you know where not to go and how to keep a low profile in times needed, you won't really face any trouble. However there are always enough crimes and assaults to keep you very alert out in the streets

You need to be cautious, by day the only big issue are pickpockets and some scammers, besides that is usually pretty safe, by night it truly deepens on the area but try to never walk alone (men exist) :/

It is generally safe if you avoid certain neighborhoods such as "Mouraria" "Bairro Alto" and some suburbs. Never get drunk if you're alone, never get an uber/bolt if you're drunk or unconscious (prefer normal taxi) and always share the ride info with friends or family.

I’ve been living there since 2020, nothing bad ever happened to me there! The crime is going up everywhere, but the only thing u find the most are pickpockets. Being a woman, anywhere in the world you will go you will get catcalled and stuff like that, but at least no one ever came up to me!

Group travel

Lisbon was the first travel group I did with my friends. It was a great experience! We rented a villa with a pool in Costa da Caparica, and I think it was the best decision since we were 6, and since the rental prices in the center of Lisbon are much higher. To go to the center and move around, we took some bolts, which divided by 6 was the cheapest and best option (It was most of the time around 1€ to 4€ per person depending on the length of the journey!) We mostly visited Lisbon in the center and in its surroundings but also Costa da Caparica and its beaches; Sintra, where we went to the Quinta da Regaleira; Almada... We ate some local food but also in small snack places since we wanted to sped money on activities more than food. If I could recommend a restaurant, it would be Casa do Alentejo, which is hidden in a small palace. We felt pretty safe everywhere since we were never alone, always together as a group or by pair. But at night in the center of Lisbon, they were some streets which didn't feel safe. We stayed in the most touristic streets, but sometimes, when we ended up in smaller streets, we were approached by men and asked if we wanted drugs. At first, it was surprising, but we ended up not caring since we were asked like a dozen times if we wanted some lmao. But mostly people are quite friendly and nice so we felt safe the whole trip. Overall, I think I spend almost 300€ for 8 days in a villa while not restricting myself on the budget and enjoying many activities. Lisbon is really worth it for a cheap trip !

Group travel

lisbon was such a pretty city ! the monasteries were a bit expensive for our budget but we went to miradores, gave à walk in the old city which is really pretty with its little streets. We also went to sintra, accesible in train at 40 min, where there are at least 3 beautiful castles in different architectural styles sooo worth it !! im vegetarian so i didnt try traditional food with fish but pasteis de nata yes and it was such a succulent desert!
