Lisbon is a very safe city. I felt comfortable solo traveling as a female and navigating the city at all hours of the day. I did not run into any issues and found the people to be very kind. The transportation system is fairly good and it was easy to navigate the city.

I was there a few days with my friend and her family. We all felt really safe and had amazing vegan food. I was walking also alone during the night and I felt safe. Would come back for sure 👍 Public transport is also really good. The busses and underground trains are coming quite often - no need to wait that long. At least that's my experience 🙂

Lisbon is a safe and nice city to a solo trip. People are really helpfull and kind. There is a lot to do and food is good cheap and good. So as my first solo trip it was a nice experience.
Posted: August 19, 2024Lisbon has been great so far, compared to Nz the cost of living is far affordable, supermarket items all a fraction of the price, I had my hair cut and coloured for next to nothing. Blow away. Settling half an hour walk from the touristy part I opted to walk for exercise sakes, I did not bother with the “just a lift” as the views from the top of the hill were (I imagine) the same if not better. And no line. I didn’t bother googling food near me, I always found something delicious. Trainers/sneakers are a must… the stones appear like if they were wet could be dangerous as they’re already slippery and polished even in the height of summer.
Posted: August 3, 2024Lisbon is simply charming! The city is not very big, so it is possible to do everything walking.What’s great to get to know every corner and save money. For me the most beautiful and unmissable part of the city are the streets of the “Old Lisbon” beautiful gardens and buildings full of stories. And you need to eat the pastel of Belém, it’s €1.40 and it was the best pastel de nata I’ve ever eaten! I stayed at a hostel in the old part of the city, well located, close to one of the viewpoints (it was around €18 a night) and it was super worth it. I felt very safe in the city, as there are many tourists, people don’t even realise you, I didn’t feel uncomfortable at any time. The attractions have some that are a little expensive (I didn’t go to these), but it’s super worth visiting and taking several photos on the outside. I loved the city and I would definitely come back <3

I spent 3 days in Lisbon and i felt very safe there, the locals were all very friendly and welcoming, the food was great and not expensive at all, I stayed at a hostel and it was a great experience. I super recommend doing a walking tour of the city to get to know a bit about the history of the place and to get recommendations for places from locals. Transportation is super easy there, there are day passes that work for all kinds of transport in lisbon, and if you need a place to leave your bags almost all metro stations have luggage lockers for the day!

I stayed 3 days in Lisbon as my first solo traveller trip, and it felt great! I always felt safe, of course I only went out during the day (as I do everywhere 😭), so I used to have dinner at the hostel and spend some time with people I met there. I buyed the Lisboa Card so I could use some discount on activities and transportation, and I highly recommend it. Lisbon is absolutely one of my favorite cities in Europe, go and explore it 🇵🇹❤️
Posted: July 10, 2024I’m a big foodie and Lisbon really does have it all! Food is cheaper compared to other European countries and way tastier. I can see there are many tourist right now and generally the place feels really safe.

Lisbon is a very safe place to stay. Pratically no problem at any time of the day. The only danger is with petty offenses like pickpocketing. Is a tourist destination so I recommend keeping a close eye on your belongings.

I lived in Lisbon since I was born and I always walk home alone at night. Never felt like I was in danger! Even in the night life center like Bairro Alto some drunk people might try to talk to you but they never do anything and there are pleny people around that will interrupt ah make sure that you are safe.

Hi travel ladies, I'm curious to meet new people from all over the world. Having traveled a lot during my studies, I know that it's always great to meet locals who can show you around. I'm looking forward to interesting conversations and discovering other perspectives on life :)
