Beautiful experience. Food, history, landscapes, view everything was amazing. The yellow trams give a rustic old world feeling. The dock views are mesmerizing. Highly recommend port wine and their custard dessert.
Posted: September 21, 2023Experienced: May, 2023Lisbon is a beautiful city and very easy to navigate. I went on an amazing tour from the city to the beautiful Sintra and Cascais which is so worth it. I cannot recommend this city enough.
Posted: August 9, 2023Overall Lisbon feels safe during daytime, but after dark I can imagine it could feel a bit less safe as a woman alone at the less crowded places. Besides that, Lisbon is a very pretty city to visit! (Be prepared to do A LOT of steep streets and stairs tho🤣) I would totally recommend visiting sintra and the tile museum of Lisboa. Just wandering around in the city is also the best way to discover the beauty of the city. As for food, there are some amazing brunch places if you like that. (Eat pray love, Heim café,…) The transport was very good, lots of busses!
Posted: July 30, 2023I was solo in Lisbon and it was super safe. Absolutely stunning and the food was amazing. Met a lot of other solo travelers there randomly throughout my stay. Transportation was super easy and there was always someone somewhere willing to help in good faith in my experience.

If you have a few days in Lisbon I suggest you take a day trip to Sintra and the Pena Palace. Skip the Pink Street in Lisbon it’s not that cool. I felt super safe even in the nights walking alone and no one was being creepy. Everyone is so nice and helpful and I haven’t met a single person who didn’t speak English. Sadly I don’t have any good food recs because I was very limited on food since I’m gluten free. I stayed in hostels and I loved it and it was my first time in hostels too. I’m still on my trip but so far so good and this is the second hostel I’m in right now. Really liked the Goodnight Lisbon Hostel and there were breakfast in the mornings and they offered free sangria in the evenings. Transportation is so easy here atleast I found it very easy. And Bolt and Uber are super cheap too.

I went with my bf (at the time), and it was a lot of fun. I never felt unsafe using the train system. The bus station was a little run down and had more homeless people around. Enough people spoke English, and if you can speak any Spanish, then you might be able to have a conversation with Portuguese-only speakers and get about 30% of what they say. The city is very fun to explore, but funding public bathrooms can sometimes be difficult.
Posted: June 29, 2023Experienced: February, 2023Lisbon is amazing. I definitely recommend going to Sintra for one day. I took a tuk-tuk tour to the main attractions. If you want to go into the palace, book tickets in advance. In Lisbon, I recommend taking the city bus tour. If you want to do the famous tram, make sure to be there early. The lines get ridiculous. Portugal was one of my favorite holidays.
Posted: June 14, 2023Lisbon is the city I've felt safest traveling solo. It's incredibly beautiful and I've never felt so safe in a city walking around at nighttime. I really loved the Lisbon vibe, the people are incredibly nice and welcoming, for a capital it's quite chilled out, with no street harassment. It's so different from other big cities like Barcelona, Munich, and London.
Posted: June 11, 2023My experience in Lisbon was absolutely incredible. The people were so very welcoming, most of them speak English and if not, someone is close by who does. I felt very safe. At no point have I felt put off by someone or uncomfortable. I will say, men do stare, a lot. I also spoke to another solo female traveler and she had the same experience. It was uncomfortable, but it was harmless. It was a very easy-to-navigate city, with something beautiful around every corner, and very travel friendly. Highly recommend.
Posted: May 19, 2023Wonderful trip ❤️ Lisbon is super safe for solo female travelers. Beautiful city 🤩 I will be back asap. Nice and warm people. Budget friendly. I recommend buying a Lisboa card, for best deals and unlimited public transport.

Posted: August 25, 2023I'm going to be in Lisbon and would love recommendations. I've been doing workaway around Portugal for 3 months on farms and semi-roughing it so really want an opportunity to get all glam and go to a cute cocktail bar pics for the kind of thing I'm looking for .
Posted: June 22, 2023I just booked my first ever solo trip! I am super excited! I am going to Lisbon from Jan 15-23, 2023! would love any advice on where to stay, recommendation for things to do, see and eat, and traveling alone.
