Travelers should, however, remain alert to petty crime, particularly in major tourist centers like Lisbon and Porto. Pickpocketing and bag snatching are common in busy areas such as popular tourist spots, public transportation, airports, hotel lobbies, outdoor cafes, and beaches. The Canadian government notes that tourists are frequently targeted by thieves, with particular attention needed in crowded public spaces and on iconic Lisbon trams 15, 25, and 28. Rental cars are also frequent targets for break-ins, especially if valuables are left on view. It is strongly advised not to leave possessions in vehicles, including the trunk, and to keep personal items secure at all times.
There are sporadic reports of burglaries affecting homes and rental apartments, especially those accessible from the street. Security experts and embassies suggest always locking doors and windows, making use of accommodations with strong security features, and avoiding walking alone at night in poorly lit areas or quiet streets. Violent crime is rare in Portugal, but physical and sexual assaults do occasionally occur, particularly in nightlife districts. Listeners should use caution when accepting drinks in bars or clubs, never leave drinks unattended, and stick to established taxis from official queues or kiosks rather than accepting unsolicited rides from strangers.
Beachgoers should be aware of strong currents and rapidly changing tides along Portugal’s coast. It is important to heed local safety warnings, only swim in designated safe areas, and avoid swimming alone—especially in remote or unguarded spots. During the summer, high temperatures and bushfires can impact mainland Portugal, and local authorities may issue weather-related advisories, so travelers should stay informed via local media.
Travel insurance is recommended for all visitors. Portugal’s healthcare system is of a high standard, but having adequate coverage ensures access to both routine and emergency care. The emergency services number in Portugal is 112, and there are dedicated tourist police stations in Lisbon, Porto, Cascais, and Portimão that can assist with crime reports and lost documents.
An important administrative note for those already in Portugal: the Portuguese government has extended the validity of visas and residence documents that expired after February 2020, allowing holders to remain in, enter, or leave Portugal until June 30, 2025. However, this extension applies only within Portugal and not necessarily in other Schengen countries, so travelers planning onward journeys should check requirements for their next destination.
To sum up, while Portugal is considered very safe, listeners should remain vigilant against petty crime, take common-sense precautions with valuables, and stay updated on local conditions. Adhering to these guidelines will help ensure a trouble-free and enjoyable trip to Portugal.
