4Lisbon, Portugal

Lisbon has become a favorite among travelers for its warm weather, vibrant culture, and affordability. For female travelers, the Portuguese capital offers a mix of traditional charm and modern appeal. Wander through the narrow, cobblestone streets of Alfama, ride the iconic yellow trams, or take in sweeping views of the city from one of its many miradouros (viewpoints). Lisbon is also home to friendly locals and a burgeoning food scene. While the city is generally safe, it’s advisable to take the usual precautions against petty theft in tourist areas.
