I loved everything about Lisbon. I have been there in february so it wanst too warm. The weather was about 19 degrees. I have been to Sintra and Cascais which I would really recommend. Also if youre still looking for a stay I‘d recommend goodmorning solo traveller hostel, it was awesome😍

In my experience lisbon was pretty safe even tho they were times people will just offer you drugs even in day time. At night there are some places i would avoid like pink street, not good for a solo female but other than that it’s great

Was great experience. The weather, foods, peoples and its unique environment is really something that I really like about it. I really enjoy my vacation there and hope to visit this city or maybe other cities in the future

safe, super cool architecture, lots of fun activities there and kind people. My only complaint was the food was quite bland for my liking. May be a little bit sketchy at night so I wouldn’t go out by yourself

Lisbon is pretty safe. Just pay attention to the pickpockets and certain areas, where you should avoid walking into especially at night. Its overall a safe city, just be aware of your surroundings at all times
Posted: July 5, 2026Some areas/neighborhoods should be avoided, especially at night and honestly I would never feel safe walking alone at night anywhere (but not all women feel that way...) Uber drivers are also not 100% trustful if they can see you are very drunk (it was on the news 1 time and I never forgot it) so try to show you are alert and follow the trip on your phone all the time.
Posted: July 2, 2026Overall very safe. People generally don't bother me or steal, but as always, be cautious and also it depends where you go. I don't spend time in the touristy areas and I walk everywhere. I have only felt unsafe a handful of times, but as always, stay sharp.
Posted: May 21, 2026Feels ok so far! One area had a lot of men standing around and honestly I prefer men when they are in the company of women but no one hassled me at all. I’ve only been here 1 day though so can’t say for sure.
