I stayed in an appartement in Porto and felt very safe. The people were very nice and friendly. Food is delicious and the attractions are nice. Would suggest seeing the bridge and just walking around.

Its an amazing city with a very good vibe. Especially during spring and summer, it is very fun to explore the city, have a drink with your friends while watching the sunset from one of the many viewpoints. Must visit city!

I’m a single woman living alone for four years. I generally walk home alone at all hours of the night. However in the last year, I have heard of a few disturbing incidences around the nightclub streets known as Galerias. So sometimes, I will take a taxi home if I feel it’s unsafe or have my male friends walk me the ten minutes home.
Posted: February 5, 2026It is a very safe and walk-friendly city. There are always a lot of people in the streets, everyone is really nice and welcoming.

Porto is really a safe city, you wonder around super safe. Obviously having the safety measure you would usually when you are in a place you do not know. Overall is really a safe city and you can explore it by metro or bus
