Is Lisbon safe for solo female travelers?

Solo travel

I recently did six days solo in Lisbon, with a day trip to Sintra and a day trip to Cascais. And it was great! I think Lisbon is a great place for a solo trip. It has that European charm, isn't too expensive (although prices are going up), plus nice weather, chill vibes, and the beach. Sintra is a must-do daytrip from Lisbon, maybe my favourite tourist attraction I've ever been to. And if you have time, I also recommend Cascais. There are many modes of public transportation, making getting around easy. And I felt very safe. Nothing remotely sketchy happened to me the entire time; everyone was really nice to me.

I didn’t really feel safe walking around alone outside at night, because some man were catcalling really insistently and I‘ve been molested in the hostel by a drunk guy as well. I‘m living in Barcelona where you get catcalled a lot but I‘ve never felt it that persistent and creepy like in Lisbon. During the day there is no problem and the architecture and ambience in the city is really nice! I really love the graffitis and the alternative touch that you experience there, especially in Portugal

It was an amazing trip. The food is amazing, people are really friendly and open minded and the you can do almost everything over there☀️ I was in Lisbon for more than 2 months and it was one of the most fabulous cities I have ever been🥰

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.

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 feel really safe than I walk alone at night in campo pequeno or in the downtown. It is always better to keep your belongings with you than u are in metro or in some touristic places , but Lisbon is still quite safe

I feel like Lisbon is a city that’s overall safe. We should always watch out for our bags/ phone, cause there are surely a lot of pickpockets. Portuguese people are extremely friendly and they will welcome you very well - usually with no second intentions!! As a woman, I feel safer here than in my home country ( Brazil ) although when people learn that I’m not Portuguese I feel a switch on their in their intentions/ actions. However, this is definitely better here than in the rest of Europe.

Lisbon feels safe with other people, but as white young woman with blie eyes, you get a lot of comments walking alone. But if you ignore the men with confidence you will be fine. Feel confident in yourself men are afraid of you. Keep an eye on your things and you will not get robbed

Lisbon is a safe city overall. You can enjoy the night without problems, but is always necessary to pay attention to pickpockets (they are not Portuguese, they travel here from other countries). You can party with no problems.

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.
