Solo Female Travel in Lisbon

Solo travel experience

Lisbon was my first-ever solo trip and it was one of the best places I have ever visited. Loved each and every second of it. It was so safe, with lovely people, and beautiful views. I fell in love with the city, the food, and the scenery.

Family travel experience

Lisbon is amazing. I felt safe walking at night in Alfama, which is a nice place to listen Fado. I highly recommend Lisbon to travel solo, in group or with your family. It’s going to be a nice experience. Try pasteis de nata!

Solo travel experience

I had booked the S&S hostel last minute and it was completely makeshift and did not feel safe. There were guys already there for one night that immediately recommended I look for a different hostel. Thankfully I was able to find something better in the Barro Aalto neighborhood after a day or two which turned my trip around for the better. Would definitely go back to Lisbon and have a great time knowing now which areas I like best.

Solo travel experience

Safety 100% Highly recommended to explore during the summer time I plan to return soon to see other towns Con: cobble streets; easy slip and fall if wet Pro: very friendly people with lots of history to see and experience

Solo travel experience

I had my very first solo traveling experience in Lisbon during summer 2023 and I absolutely loved it! I stayed there for 5 weeks volunteering in a hostel in exchange for accommodation. I got to meet heaps of locals and other travelers, see new places etc. 110% recommend.

Group travel experience

Lisbon was one of my favorite cities I’ve traveled in. Everyone is so nice, so my friends and I got all our recommendations from everyone we talked to, at different restaurants and shops, and had an incredible time. One of the best little areas is Lx factory! Cute shops and restaurants.

Family travel experience

I traveled with my adult son and we stayed in Portugal for 5 days and flew into Lisbon airport. We drove up to Nazaré for one day and night and drove down to Lisbon and stayed there the rest of the time. Tip: it's not worth having a car in Lisbon. I fell in love with this city! It's super safe, very walkable, great public transportation, amazing food, tons to see and do. I spent most of my time walking the neighborhoods and just reaching and being a local. It wasn't very rainy and it was in the 60's - in the beginning of December! I can't wait to go back again and we'll go solo since I travel solo 99% of the time. Next time I'll stay longer.

Solo travel experience

A 6 months Erasmus experience. One of the best I ever had! I went with my friend and we had an opportunity to explore all Over Portugal. I would come over again and again. Ideal for people who love to travel and explore the world🌍

Solo travel experience

Lisbon is a beautiful city and very easy to explore. I went on an amazing trip from the city to the beautiful Sintra and Cascais, which was really worth it. I cannot recommend this city enough.

Couple travel experience

Lisbon is a calm and safe city. Wonderful are Sintra and also the Belem Tower. The neighborhood with the most nightlife in the evening is Barrio Alto, where Erasmus students often gather. A calm and safe city to visit even alone.

It feels very safe, I always am on my own and nothing happened to me. However I heard of a male friend being bothered in Cais do Sodre area at night. I would just avoid any dodgy area late a night and use common sense.

Lisbon …a place where you’ll find kind people, cool places to explore and plenty of nice restaurants for all tastes and pockets. The weather is great from April to October and when tired from the city vibe you can either go to Sintra or Cascais, or cross the bridge to enjoy the sunny days by the sea. Lisbon gives you the full package for a perfect vacay :)

Hey, welcome to Lisbon I have been living here my whole life and I know it might sound suspicious, but I think Lisbon it’s one of the most beautiful cities in the world! despite the Sun And the warm weather, you can have a city experience, a beach experience, an also a mountain experience, all in a range of 30 minutes. It’s for sure one of the most safety Capitals In Europe and Portuguese people are very welcoming since we live mostly from the tourism. one thing for sure you have to try once you came here: eat the food. You have to eat Typical Portuguese food, please go to a “Tasca” there you will find traditional dishes, and for desert ask for a “pastel de nata” it’s a trip to heaven :) If you like to go out, Bairro alto is an amazing place. I also recommend you to sightsee Sintra as well as Cascais (you can catch the train) 

Tips about Lisbon : - use UBER or BOLT , nowadays the prices are so ridiculous cheap that sometimes it’s even cheaper than public transports (and if you’re travel w/more 1or 2 px, don’t even lost time in doing it in other way) ; - please try ‘bacalhau à Brás’ , ‘Bitoque’, ‘cozido à portuguesa’ , ‘carne de porco à alentejana’ , ‘peixe grelhado’ … these are Portuguese dishes and the ones I recommend it ! - bifana is our ‘hot dog’ , a street food sandwich that you can pick and go. It should cost 2/3€ and it’s a good grab & to lunch that you can have in almost any cafe. - seafood is good and cheaper outside Lisbon center . Check a place called ‘Eduardo das conquilhas’ in parede ! You can take the train to go there (20min from cais do Sodré) and enjoy the ride with the sea view. - fitting room is a shop in Chiado with different Portuguese brand and very well curated . If you wanna buy something with quality with reasonable prices that’s the place . Enjoy Lisbon :)
