Is Lisbon Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

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.

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.

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 🙂

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 has been great so far, compared to Nz the cost of living is far affordable, supermarket items all a fraction of the price, I had my hair cut and coloured for next to nothing. Blow away. Settling half an hour walk from the touristy part I opted to walk for exercise sakes, I did not bother with the “just a lift” as the views from the top of the hill were (I imagine) the same if not better. And no line. I didn’t bother googling food near me, I always found something delicious. Trainers/sneakers are a must… the stones appear like if they were wet could be dangerous as they’re already slippery and polished even in the height of summer.

Lisbon is simply charming! The city is not very big, so it is possible to do everything walking.What’s great to get to know every corner and save money. For me the most beautiful and unmissable part of the city are the streets of the “Old Lisbon” beautiful gardens and buildings full of stories. And you need to eat the pastel of Belém, it’s €1.40 and it was the best pastel de nata I’ve ever eaten! I stayed at a hostel in the old part of the city, well located, close to one of the viewpoints (it was around €18 a night) and it was super worth it. I felt very safe in the city, as there are many tourists, people don’t even realise you, I didn’t feel uncomfortable at any time. The attractions have some that are a little expensive (I didn’t go to these), but it’s super worth visiting and taking several photos on the outside. I loved the city and I would definitely come back <3

I travelled to Lisbon last year during spring and it was such a good experience. I went on a solo trip and stayed in a nice hostel not so far from the city center. The transport system is quite reliable if you don’t drive and they have a lot of places to visit. The beach which is a bit out of town is wonderful as well. They’ve got also castles with interesting history and there is a direct train that goes there from the city centre. In general, it was such a good experience for me . I din’d’t get to visit every place because I was only there for three days. I would totally recommend

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

It’s pretty safe don’t feel any disturbed thoughts. In overall it’s pretty nice in here only to much garbage around places. Mostly it’s nice weather and you will feel comfortable. Just don’t forget to get some worm clothes
