I have come to know and love Portugal, it was my first stop in Europe and it was where I spent the most amount of time on my trip. The best hostel for solo female travellers in Lisbon is Yes! Lisbon Hostel. Is Lisbon safe for solo female travellers?
The short answer is YES. Lisbon is regarded as one of the safest cities in Europe as the crime rates are very low. In saying this though, always keep your wits about you and keep your valuables hidden like you would with anywhere else. I had absolutely no trouble at all and found everyone to be really kind. One night we did a pub crawl and it was so fun to get a taste of the nightlife and stay safe at the same time. English is spoken fairly widely in the capital which makes Lisbon solo travel a whole lot easier.
Being able to communicate with the locals is important to figure out where you need to go, especially when you get off the plane and need to navigate your way to your accommodation. I got an Uber from the airport to my first hostel as I was pretty tired from flying all the way from Mexico but it was all very easy not too expensive either!
When I first arrive in a new country I always get a little anxious but all my worries were put to rest as soon I saw how lively and colourful Lisbon was! A handy tip to make the process of getting to your accommodation a whole lot easier is to have a screenshot on your phone of the address and the rough location. You can hop straight in an Uber or figure out the public transport system and start your adventure.

Powerbanks are also super handy and I travelled everywhere with mine when I was on a solo trip. With plenty of attractions, sights, and experiences to explore, there is something for everyone.
