Is Porto Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Porto

I’d say Porto is pretty safe. I’ve never had to worry about my things being stolen or that anything would happen to me, even as a woman walking at night. You could literally drop something on the table or on the floor and when you go back it’s very likely that it’d still be where you left it, and if it’s not there then it’s probably because someone helped take it to the nearest lost and found or to the police station. An additional upside is that the locals are really nice!

It’s a nice city, it has a very low crime rate, it’s very touristic so everyone feel safe here. I’ve never experienced anything bad here and I feel very safe walking on the street alone. Very safe for turists, women and lgbt

There are many Indians and Arabs on the streets who harass women. In general, the port is safe if you are in areas with lots of people, such as tourist spots or walking on the streets. At night, I do not recommend going alone in isolated areas (for example, in the riverside it's safe at night because there are many people).

My experience is as a portuguese woman, so I have a level of confidence and comfort that doesn't allow me to see with eyes of someone who's never been here. Portugal is overall safe. As a woman, what bothers me the most are the interactions with men - but it's usually just staring, or once in a while some annoying comment. However, I wouldn't walk alone through lonely areas of the city at night. There's a high amount of homeless people and usually it's not a problem, except every once in a while when they ask for money, we say no, and they react poorly. Nonetheless, overall I feel safe, people are very nice and caring and will help you if you need!

It’s a safe city if you stay in the center, but of course, it depends on the area. I live right in the center, so I’ve always felt safe walking around at night. However, I would recommend that solo travelers stay around people at night

Group travel

In porto we walk a lot, to see many things. To eat you have to try rice at tomato it is very very good, of course if you like rice and tomato. You have to go at the top of the city you can have a beautiful point of view.
