It’s pretty safe don’t feel any disturbed thoughts. In overall it’s pretty nice in here only to much garbage around places. Mostly it’s nice weather and you will feel comfortable. Just don’t forget to get some worm clothes
Posted: October 29, 2024lisbon is pretty safe, during the day the most common thing would probably be pickpockets as in most touristsy cities but during the night in certain areas it can be a little sketchy specially if you are alone or just girls

My city is beautiful and safe! I can assure you that crime levels are very low and as a female the city as a lot to offer and it's easy to commute both day and night time without worrying too much! Thanks all!
Posted: September 19, 2024Lisbon is a very safe place to stay. Pratically no problem at any time of the day. The only danger is with petty offenses like pickpocketing. Is a tourist destination so I recommend keeping a close eye on your belongings.

I lived in Lisbon since I was born and I always walk home alone at night. Never felt like I was in danger! Even in the night life center like Bairro Alto some drunk people might try to talk to you but they never do anything and there are pleny people around that will interrupt ah make sure that you are safe.
Posted: August 13, 2024Lisbon is one of the safest place I've been to. People tend to mind their own business but are very kind. I would avoid areas that are crowed by men, like Martim Moniz. Other than that I feel very comfortable and safe here.
Posted: August 4, 2024Located in the beautiful country of Portugal, Lisbon has been my home forever. I have met all kinds of different people, portuguese and foreigners. I work in the tourism industry and love to inform them of Lisbon’s safety, as i go home from work by metro and walking at 2am and do not feel afraid on the way.
Posted: July 20, 2024Very safe if you're careful and don't wonder around with very expensive items at night I guess. I am 37 and was never robbed/assalted in Lisbon. So I think for the european average, Lisbon is one of the safest.

It's safe but for women we have always to be alert, right? I don't trust everyone, specially if I'm out at night. Bairro alto for example, it's a good place to enjoy parties at night, but it's important to be aware with that girls.
Posted: July 10, 2024Lisbon is a pretty safe city, one of the safest that I’ve ever lived in (I am from the U.S.). In terms of the touristy areas, where I suspect most will visit, I’d be extra cautious with your belongings in areas such as Cais do Sodre, Martim Moniz, and near Praça do Comercio. Martim Moniz shouldn’t be visited at night. The city is overall quite safe at night as my friends and I routinely go home alone but I would give extra caution in the summer months when there are more tourists here.

Lovely city. Safe. Easy to walk around and see most places on foot or taking a train to slightly further attractions. Busy city. Good bus links. Lots of churches and old buildings and quaint little cobbled streets. Steep so need to be relatively fit to walk around.
