Is Lisbon Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Solo travel

Lisbon was a truly pleasant experience. It’s a city with a soul, one that has witnessed many things but still welcomes every visitor as one of its own. I felt deeply safe, even at night.

Group travel

The place where we were staying was a little bit out of lisbon and it wasn’t very safe but the city as such was extraordinary. The people were adorable, the city was beautiful and the food was excellent!!!

I fell in love with Portugal! Even though I prefer Porto, I still admit that Lisbon is wonderful! Love this city! Sincerely 💔 that's what i want to say: 1. the best ramen in my life: Panda Cantina (https://www.instagram.com/pandacantina?igsh=MWtleDNrcXljYnpmcw==); 2. buy local landmark azulejo tiles as a souvenir: Cortiço & Netos; 3. Surfing 🏄: Cascais (the city is near Lisboa) and Nazare (In November you can see the biggest waves in the world here); 4. Cabo da Roca (is a cape which forms the westernmost point of the Sintra Mountain Range, of mainland Portugal, of continental Europe, and of the Eurasian landmass. Once upon a time people called this place the end of the world. The sunset there is amazing. The photos with me were taken in this very place); 5. Pastel de nata + port wine = something you must try. Lisbon is Home of Pastel de Nata. Porto is home of port wine. The real Portuguese combo!

Solo travel

Beautiful city with lots to see and do, though just wandering around is already very nice. I took all precautions and was very prepared for pickpockets etc. so was pretty relaxed. Streets in more popular downtown areas felt very safe at night

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

Solo travel

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:)

Very safe, but only been here for a short time. My room mates who have lived here for several years have said that it is very safe, and they have had no issues walking alone at night, but it’s always better to be safe and walk with someone if you can.

I think the center is super safe! I use public transportation day and night and nothing has ever happened. I walk alone everywhere. At night, maybe not in some specific areas like anjos and intendente. Also don't go at night to suburban areas far from the center like Reboleira and Amadora, but that's a long way from the city itself. I usually just enjoy night outs with friends and if it's too crowded maybe just mind your things not to be the target of pickpockets, but that's just a recommendation - I've never been robbed!, and I go out partying at night a lot.
