Generally safe, better to always have someone by your side and stay away from big groups of people, specially at night time. The majority of public places are fairly safe and quiet, however I wouldn’t walk alone in specific neighbourhoods, like Bairro do Aleixo.
Posted: September 8, 2025Porto is like 'very touristic city' but you feel safety. People respekt tourists. Maybe not areas of dangerous district but in downtown is super safety. I never had bad, dangerous situation im downtown.
Posted: September 3, 2025I’m aware of some robbery activities, even during day - that’s not pickpocketing. Lately a lot of antisemitic graffiti on the walls but looks like it mostly comes from the immigrants or students. A lot of homeless people are sleeping outside.

As a small town, the locals are genuinely friendly and full of smiles. Women greet each other warmly, creating a welcoming and safe atmosphere. The city has a cozy, sunny vibe, perfect for relaxed, authentic travel experiences :)
Posted: August 2, 2025During the day and in busy streets in the night, generally its a safe place. Keep your phones well hidden in busy hours since there's a good amount of people who will try to steal it. Transports have cameras so generally you are good!
