Is Lisbon a safe city? 09.11.2009
When you go to some place, especially on vacation, you always think about safety.
So, how safe is Lisbon?
Violent crimes and mugging are extremly rare.
On the other hand, minor crime like pick pocketing and bag snatching have increased.
Simple attitudes are enough to avoid unpleasant situations: keep an eye on your luggage on public transport, don´t show expensive values in the street and, at night, try to walk in places with good light. Attitudes that attract unecesary attention are not recommended.

Alfama is the oldest district of Lisbon, spreading on the slope between the St George Castle and the Tagus river.
