My first solo trip. I loved it!! The hostel was amazing, i met so many nice people (one from a Facebook group, we went together to sintra). Went out at night and felt super safe. Lots to do and it was really pretty

Portugal was amazing, specially in Braga. Braga is a place i definetely want to leve someday, doesent have pollution, its all calm and the traffic is not crazy. Looks like a small town and i simply love it!!! ❤️

Lisbon was one of my favourite destination, felt very safe all the time, even alone at night as a female solo traveler. It is a really cheap destination with a lot of free things to do, there is always something new to see:)
Posted: May 30, 2025It was safe in general There is organized trips with private boats and pirate boat the price was around 40€/35€ per person The food was little bit more expensive than in Lisbon Lack of transport I was ordering Bolt all the time the price to move around from hotel to the beach was around 4.56-3.80 € for bolt . The bars are good the drinks . The hotel was clean . But lack of restaurants only near the beach

my first ever solo trip in march. i felt safe. i love all 3 cities i visited, and each feels different. i started in porto, a lovely city with a very unique feeling, the old town made me feel at home for some reason.. could be the narrow streets, old houses and the laundry hanging in the sun.. id really recommend you take a walk early in the morning around 8 before it becomes crowded and enjoy the morning sound of quietness. then i took the train to lisbon. it feels..cute? the tram, the street lamps, the little doors, the trees, everything feels like it has millions of stories. if i were to return to alfama, id bring some mosquito lotion this time and walk around for hoursss. i took a day trip to cascais. you know its good when even the walk along the beach at noon feels good…
Posted: May 29, 2025The main attractions in Braga were pretty accessible by foot, it’s not exactly a big city. The environment was super clean, the people were friendly, I felt very safe and comfortable moving around on my own, and it was a pretty nice city to walk around.

Lisbon is very safe, but the amount of tourists there make it feel like you might be targeted. On the flip side, because there are always so many people, it generally feels quite secure. I wouldn’t wear lots of jewelry or headphones at night, walking alone, but other than that, you should be fine.
Posted: June 4, 2025Porto it’s relatively safe but it’s better to avoid walking alone at night, and there are some areas that can be sketchy like next to campo 24 de agosto metro station. I never feel unsafe walking around at the day time but at night it’s better to be careful
