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.

The Bairro Alto is one of the most characterful and attractive neighbourhoods in Lisbon. It's a place where people meet in an eclectic and multicultural atmosphere.

Fado music is the heart of the Portuguese soul. It is a Portuguese folk song typically of doleful or fatalistic character and usually accompanied on the guitar.

The Fado music is usually linked to the portuguese word saudade. This word describes a sentiment and translates nostalgia for unrealized dreams. Fado flowers from this fatalistic world-view. It speaks of an undefined yearning that can't be satisfied.
