It was my first time to Portugal and maybe my last. We booked a hostel for the first two nights to check how it is going to be and it was extremely dirty. We moved to another accomodation and when we went outside at our new accommodation that it was supposed to a good and expensive area to book our uber a man came and stole my phone from my hand and I started chasing him with two others but that was completely unsafe and worthless. After that my trip was ruined.

My first ever solo trip and it was amazing! I planned it completely on my own because I didn’t want to celebrate my birthday in gloomy England… Stayed at a hostel in Lisbon, it was so nice and affordable as well. The hostel was in the city center so everything was close by and transportation was convenient and reliable as well. I walked so much during this trip but it was all worth it cause look at all these great views!!!

I travelled solo to Lisbon in November 2025 for work and stayed back over the weekend to explore the city. It felt easy and comfortable to navigate alone, with warm, welcoming people everywhere. The food scene is excellent, with plenty of options across the city, and surprisingly affordable. Lisbon is deeply historical, full of character, and very budget-friendly, which made exploring it even more enjoyable.

In general, the food in Portugal is good and very safe. It's also a cheap place to visit. There is the sea, beautiful beaches, and mountains—offering the best of both worlds. I recommend visiting the following places in Portugal: Cascais, Algarve, Caparica, and Porto.
Posted: December 30, 2025during the day it’s pretty safe but at night it’s not safe especially if you’re a lady. in the center of the city there’s a lot of people trying to sell you drugs or trying to steal your phones and wallets
