I felt quite safe most of the time, although I came back home quite early (around 9 pm) every night. The city and attractions around it were fantastic, I advise to visit Sintra, a short train ride away.
Posted: March 30, 2025Experienced: January, 2025Just strolling around the city was amazing. Especially the sunset spot where breathtaking event though it was kind of crowded. I booked the cheapest hostel due to my tight budget, which was absolutely fine and right in the city center. I really recommend using public transport to get anywhere.

Lisbon had been on my bucket list for approximately 14 years because so many people kept telling me that it was their favourite city they ever travelled to. And it really did not disappoint. It’s beautiful and historical and people were dancing and singing in the streets at night. Prices were really affordable and there was so much to explore. You could keep on walking and find a new cool location around every corner. Pastel de Nata for the win!

Portugal
I went to Coimbra 2 days ago and i can tell that Coimbra is one of the best cities in Portugal. The streets, culture, songs, buildings, and the view of the river were amazing. University is one of the oldest Unis. and did you know J.K Rowling was inspired of this University to write Harry Potter? I had so much fun. Besides it was quite safe. I liked almost every corner of the city.

Portugal
This is one of the most greenest city I've ever seen. The culture and people are really nice and the city is quite safe to travel. Hotels and houses to rent are a bot expensive but food are acceptable. Beaches here are really good especially for friends groups and parties and of course for swimming. In summer is really warm tho..

One of the most beautiful European cities in my opinion! A small gem 💎 So colorful You can travel and navigate Portugal solo easily! Had an amazing time! People seem so happy there. You can get lost safely and explore the streets of Lisbon. Each one of them has a unique surprise! So many beautiful cool hipster style places to eat and coffee shops to chill or even work! 100% recommended.
Posted: February 26, 2025Yes I felt safe, but that’s because I was with someone from my family. As a solo traveler I would recommend going with a group from a hostel or something. It isn’t dangerous, but if you travel alone at night it gets a little weird. There are lots of people who offer dr*gs or something else so be careful. There are a few famous streets, be careful there at night. Otherwise I felt great, even with one more person and I felt totally okay. Daytime is perfect I felt great all the time, just at night women should be a little bit more careful. Stay safe girlies <3
Posted: February 24, 2025Porto is a very nice city. The city is striving to become more modern and is currently constructing new metro stations. Porto is generally safe, but some areas have issues with intoxicated individuals on the streets. The residents are quite poor, and many houses are in poor condition. However, Porto is working to resolve these issues. It is very easy to reach Porto from the airport using the metro or a cheap taxi.

I felt super safe as a solo traveller. Lisbon is a charming city stepped in culture and arts, especially architecture. A wide range of food options from cheap to Michelin star. Many galleries and historic attractions to keep you occupied.

I’ve been living there since 2020, nothing bad ever happened to me there! The crime is going up everywhere, but the only thing u find the most are pickpockets. Being a woman, anywhere in the world you will go you will get catcalled and stuff like that, but at least no one ever came up to me!

I'm a very art-oriented person who loves to paint, draw, sometimes tattoo; love to hike, impulsive travelling and camping. I see myself as someone who keeps trying to learn about the most random little things that Life brings to me.

Hello ☀️ My name is Isa and I'm from Austria. The one country with the cows, not the kangaroos ;) Since I already live in Europe, I thought I should get on more adventures and trips to see the many beautiful landscapes and city we have here. For the other continents, I would like to take some more time to explore them( 1month+). I would like to meet some new people and if it fits we can travel and explore together.
