Is Porto safe for solo female travelers?

Family travel

very beautiful country, we eat very well, the weather is nice, a safe country, lots of things to visit . every year I go to Portugal. I visit the south, we do a bit of beach time, sightseeing, a bit of shopping and in the north, we walk around a bit, we discover new places, we go to the village festival

Solo travel

Porto is a really safe city, the food was amazing and almost everyone knows how to speak English, or at least they always tried. I enjoyed visiting Ribeira. It was breathtaking, and you can always catch a train in São Bento and go visit Guimarães, or Aveiro, 2 wonderful cities in less than 1h away.

Solo travel

I felt so safe! But honestly could’ve done 2 nights instead of 3 (unless you want to do the Douro valley tour). It was sooo crowded. Go to jardim de morro for sunset. If you’re solo traveling you can do a walking tour or wine tour to meet people.

Porto is an amazing place, with a lot of colors and musics. I saw, and gave money, a lot of musicians on the streets. The transports were cleaned. It seems to be like a good safe place, I didn't have to deal with any big problems. And never felt unsafe !

Solo travel

I am madly in love with Portugal, but Porto has hit the nail on the head. I have nothing bad to say. I love everything about this city! I was going to do the pilgrim's route, but in the end I didn't go anywhere and stayed in the city. Because it's amazing! P.S.: Be sure to visit the distilleries of famous Port wine producers. Learn the history of the tiles on the buildings, called Azulejo. Dance with the locals to the music of street performers and leave a piece of your heart in Porto.

Porto is a very safe destination I would recommend it for any traveller but I would be weary at night as the atmosphere does change. I would definitely recommend going to Porto to solo travellers. It is very easy to get around

Generally safe, better to always have someone by your side and stay away from big groups of people, specially at night time. The majority of public places are fairly safe and quiet, however I wouldn’t walk alone in specific neighbourhoods, like Bairro do Aleixo.

Porto is like 'very touristic city' but you feel safety. People respekt tourists. Maybe not areas of dangerous district but in downtown is super safety. I never had bad, dangerous situation im downtown.

I’m aware of some robbery activities, even during day - that’s not pickpocketing. Lately a lot of antisemitic graffiti on the walls but looks like it mostly comes from the immigrants or students. A lot of homeless people are sleeping outside.

As a small town, the locals are genuinely friendly and full of smiles. Women greet each other warmly, creating a welcoming and safe atmosphere. The city has a cozy, sunny vibe, perfect for relaxed, authentic travel experiences :)
