Lagos was an amazing experience, the beautiful landscape paired with the kindness of the locals made me feel so safe. It was very easy to meet people and make friends. I stayed at Orange3 hostel and it was walking distance to everything. Highly recommend adding this to your list of places to visit!

Lagos is a stunning destination for solo travel and I highly recommend it. Lots to do, including paddle boarding and kayaking tours. Felt really safe the whole time, met friendly people, and the coastline was lovely.

If you visit Lagos during summer, you will really understand why the English are there in numbers. The sun will burn you, but the sea will soothe you. Lagos is a small town south of Portugal. I felt it was very safe with very cute streets and artwork. The beaches are walking distance. It was great to rewind here.

Lagos is a great city to stay in! Public transportation is very easy to understand (I used both the bus and the train), and the city itself is very pedestrian-friendly once you're there! As a solo woman I felt safe walking at any time of the day, both visitors and residents were very welcoming, and the city is beautiful! Take advantage of the activities offered there too!

Lagos, Portugal is a pretty safe place during the day you must keep an eye on yourself and try to behave and not to mess around. During the evening I’d say you should be careful especially if you are traveling by your own

During my stay at Lagos I stayed at a Hostel called Buddha Bee. The hosts were really nice and helpful. There were predominantly female guests and the hostel was a very homey vibe which made me feel comfortable. Good security on the front door and bedroom doors too. Lagos overall is quite chill beach vibe. I wasn’t out late on too many occasions but if I was alone I might feel a little nervous as there are lots of small alleyways. Luckily I met people from my hostel and we hung out together. At the beach, felt super comfortable.

I loved Lagos. The city gives off the vibe of a typical surfer's town, not too big and not too small, and the atmosphere is really nice. A walk along the beaches there is absolutely beautiful.
