I spent two days on my own in Lagos before heading off to a retreat. Lagos is a beautiful city in the Algarve, though it is very touristy. During the day, you can explore the old streets, sunbathe on the beach, or go on short hikes. In the evening, you can go out for a delicious meal, enjoy some great cocktails, and check out the nightlife.

I did my first solo trip and it was awesome. I slept in a hostel and met many people from all over the world. I became more self-confident and came back with new perspectives on my life. I would like to have the opportunity to fly like this again.❤️

I went to Lagos with my friend and it was so much fun. Through the platform we got to know the sweetest girl who would join our trip later and hosted us at her house for 3 nights. The experience was amazing.
Posted: April 9, 2026Experienced: March, 2026I stayed in Lagos for 7 days and it was beautiful! I was visiting a friend there and felt safe there everywhere. the people are really open minded and nice and you are just surrounded by a great nature and the ocean and don’t have to worry about anything! i was on a low budget and just went to lidl to buy some food. I recommend informing about public transport before because I had to travel by uber a lot of the time because I don’t have a license. it’s really a lot to walk otherwise. :)

Lagos was a very nice town with a beautiful hiking trail going through it. We visited out of season so there were not so many activities available. We stayed for 2 days and it was just enough to go through the beautiful views in the city and around it.

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....

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!
Posted: March 27, 2024Lagos 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.
Posted: December 10, 2023Experienced: May, 2023I 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.

Lagos is safe everywhere so far, I was born here and never had any problem until midnight except on rua 25 de abril where the bars are, near Bonvivant bar I don't recomend. Some beaches might have some men looking but they are just perverts

Lagos feels safe for locals and travellers alike, especially if you stick to well-known areas and take the usual city precautions. I love wandering the streets, enjoying beach walks, and discovering hidden corners, all without feeling uneasy. It’s a city that lets you explore freely and soak up the vibes with confidence.

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
