I've walked alone at night many times and at always felt safe. Even places the bus and train stations are really clean and used by everyone. If you ask for directions or restaurant recommendations, people are happy to help (and practice their English or French). The city is really quiet at night.

Small and safe city in the north of Portugal. Full of nature around, if you love that it's definitely worth to visit. No problem with walking alone at night, dress as you like (the maximum you'll receive some curiuous reaction)
