i'm here in porto with lots of other erasmus students. together we feel very comfortable here. we do lots of things like go to the beach or for a walk, go to the river or just walk through the city. a nice place is the jardim do morro on the other side of the river or the sé de porto.

We went to Porto for a day trip. It is about 3 hours away from Bragança by flixbus. We used the metro as public transportation. I found the metro ticket a bit expensive. The atmosphere was very nice. You can see street musicians in some places and they are really good. There were a lot of tourists. This makes the place more fun.
Posted: April 10, 2025Just strolling around the city was amazing. Especially the sunset spot where breathtaking event though it was kind of crowded. I booked the cheapest hostel due to my tight budget, which was absolutely fine and right in the city center. I really recommend using public transport to get anywhere.
Posted: March 15, 2025Porto is a very nice city. The city is striving to become more modern and is currently constructing new metro stations. Porto is generally safe, but some areas have issues with intoxicated individuals on the streets. The residents are quite poor, and many houses are in poor condition. However, Porto is working to resolve these issues. It is very easy to reach Porto from the airport using the metro or a cheap taxi.

First time in Portugal was amazing 🇵🇹 We only stayed in Porto for a few days, but loved every second of it. Here are a few pictures of the many places we visited on our trip. Sadly, by the end of our trip, Porto was surrounded by wildfires… I remember wishing that our flight back would be canceled, just so I could stay a bit longer, but it didn’t haha

We felt safe in Porto. We did it in two and a half days. And honestly, that's enough. We ate very well for not too expensive, especially the brunches which were very nice. A very nice little city for a couple, we had booked accommodation on Airbnb for a low price.

I stayed in Porto for 6 days ! Its was my first solo experience. I really liked it and felt safe all the time. I stayed in the cheapest hostel of the city center and it was great. I meet a lot of people in pubs. Locals are friendly . But 6 days was too long. 3 days is enough to visit

Porto is a pretty small city. As a white female I felt safe almost all the day, even walking on a Saturday night alone. I meet there another solo traveler from uk and we became friends! The city is very cheap, coming from Italy and very welcoming!

My experience is as a portuguese woman, so I have a level of confidence and comfort that doesn't allow me to see with eyes of someone who's never been here. Portugal is overall safe. As a woman, what bothers me the most are the interactions with men - but it's usually just staring, or once in a while some annoying comment. However, I wouldn't walk alone through lonely areas of the city at night. There's a high amount of homeless people and usually it's not a problem, except every once in a while when they ask for money, we say no, and they react poorly. Nonetheless, overall I feel safe, people are very nice and caring and will help you if you need!
Posted: April 9, 2025It’s a safe city if you stay in the center, but of course, it depends on the area. I live right in the center, so I’ve always felt safe walking around at night. However, I would recommend that solo travelers stay around people at night

I'm a very art-oriented person who loves to paint, draw, sometimes tattoo; love to hike, impulsive travelling and camping. I see myself as someone who keeps trying to learn about the most random little things that Life brings to me.

Hello ☀️ My name is Isa and I'm from Austria. The one country with the cows, not the kangaroos ;) Since I already live in Europe, I thought I should get on more adventures and trips to see the many beautiful landscapes and city we have here. For the other continents, I would like to take some more time to explore them( 1month+). I would like to meet some new people and if it fits we can travel and explore together.
