Solo travel

I spent 1 night in Lisbon. I was jet lagged from Australia and had a cold so already wasn’t a great start. I walked around the hostel area and saw the main attractions but I really wasn’t a fan. I was homesick and really nervous as this was my first hostel experience. I also got targeted in a pick pocket scheme but managed to avoid it!

Solo travel

Really enjoyed Lisbon - even all the hills - definitely need comfortable shoes - I do recommend a walking tour esp the street art ones - food was fantastic and lots of choices- I felt safe however I did not venture out much later in the evening as I go to bed early and get up early !!

Group travel

It was my first time to Portugal and maybe my last. We booked a hostel for the first two nights to check how it is going to be and it was extremely dirty. We moved to another accomodation and when we went outside at our new accommodation that it was supposed to a good and expensive area to book our uber a man came and stole my phone from my hand and I started chasing him with two others but that was completely unsafe and worthless. After that my trip was ruined.

Lisbon is extremely safe! I've never had an issue, whether it's the middle of the day or night. I even walk my dog at 2 or 3 am, when necessary. I am careful at Cais Sodré, but nothing that any person wouldn't be aware of.

Very safe overall, mostly pickpockets in the common touristy areas and minor gang violence outside of Lisbon, usually not with firearms and not directed at civilians. Just don’t walk alone as a woman or distracted with your phone out and you should be fine.

I feel very safe walking around Lisbon, both during the day and at night. The city has a calm atmosphere that makes exploring it on foot a pleasant experience. During the daytime, the streets are with tourists, yet I never feel crowded or uneasy. I have walked through different neighborhoods, from the historic center to more residential areas, and in all cases, I have felt comfortable.
