Lisbon - Post Report Question and Answers
Are there personal security concerns to be aware of at this post? Please describe.
None. - Apr 2021
Compared to the U.S., crime is low, especially violent crime. With the growing numbers of tourists, though, there is a lot of petty crime, especially in tourist areas and nightlife areas after midnight (this city runs until way past midnight, with whole districts of the city thriving until 3-4 AM), so be careful with your wallet and jewelry at night. - Sep 2016
Maybe for late at night, if you like to go out late, be sure to be careful and go with friends. - Aug 2015
Nope. Just your ordinary every day life security concerns. I feel safe enough to allow my 8 year-old kid to go to the store a few blocks away by himself. - Jul 2015
Pickpocketing, petty theft, and crimes of opportunity. A little situational awareness will keep you right as rain, though. - Jun 2012
No. Lisbon is one of the lowest risk threat cities in Europe (however common pick pocketing and petty crime to exist, especially in tourist areas.) - Oct 2011
Taxi drivers either drive painfully slow or like maniacs. Other than that, and the type of crime you expect in any modern city, Lisbon is very safe. You can walk virtually anywhere at any time of day. - Aug 2011
Just the normal. Most crimes are opportunity types. Do not leave valuables out in the open on car seats. Smash-and-grabs do often happen. This is a city -- so be aware. - Aug 2010
None. - Sep 2008
