Is Lisbon Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Solo travel

As a solo female traveler, I felt so safe here. Walking home alone at night from the pubs, strolling through the markets, meeting locals, I felt safe the whole time. I was only supposed to spend 1 week in Lisbon but I ended up spending 3 because the people are so lovely. Everything is inexpensive and I felt very welcomed by locals.

Group travel

Lisbon is definitely my favorite city in Europe so far! People were always extremely friendly and nice, always eager to help. I have to mention pastel de Nara which are my favorite pastry ever. I’m counting days to come back there.

As a vegan, budget food options sometimes were only limited to hummus & salad which I don‘t mind, still … :) I felt very safe exploring the city & it‘s beautiful. There are so many hidden gems, beaches, thrift stores, etc :) loved it :)

Solo travel

I volunteered in a hostel in Lisbon in early September. The weather was lovely and warm, so I regularly went to nearby beaches. I met friendly people at my hostel and in clubs or cafés, who I later hung out with. Also, the walking tour I took was a great way to meet new people, see historic sites, and learn the local hotspots.

Family travel

Lovely city. Safe. Easy to walk around and see most places on foot or taking a train to slightly further attractions. Busy city. Good bus links. Lots of churches and old buildings and quaint little cobbled streets. Steep so need to be relatively fit to walk around.

Solo travel

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.

Family travel

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 🙂

Solo travel

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.

Lisbon is a very attrative City . More special for me: there speak my native language, Portuguese. Excelent food and no expensive. A lot of monuments for to visit. Always is very nice place for to stay

Lisbon is a very safe place to visit. Although, as a woman, of course, its always better to avoid walking alone at night, I never had big problems with that... people are living their own life, they dont care that you're passing by. It is very unlikely that you will get mugged by day (or even by night, specially if you're with a group of people. If you're alone, better to just stay home). Happy about describing my home city as safe.

Pretty safe to walk around during the day. At night it quite depends on the location (like going out where there are a lot of discos and drunk people is not the best idea). There is also pickpockets, they won’t harm you, just be aware of your belongings. Nothing ever happened to me or anyone one I know here
