Fotografie vytvořil Sergei Gussev na Pexels.com
Portugal is a generally safe and tourist-friendly country, but visitors should watch for pickpocketing in busy areas, overcharging in tourist restaurants, and unofficial taxis at transport hubs. Common issues are petty street crime and inflated prices rather than violent threats. Use official ranks, visible menus, and licensed transport to stay safe.

Časté podvody v Portugal a jak se jim vyhnout
1. Pickpocketing in crowded areas
Jak to funguje: Thieves work in groups around trams, Metro, and busy squares like Lisbon's Baixa, often using distraction, bumps, or a map to cover hands while lifting wallets and phones.
Jak se tomu vyhnout: Keep bags zipped and in front, phones out of back pockets, and avoid showing valuables in dense crowds.
2. Unofficial drivers at airports
Jak to funguje: Unlicensed drivers approach arriving passengers inside the terminal offering rides at inflated fixed prices, often without a meter or official credentials.
Jak se tomu vyhnout: Walk to the official taxi rank outside arrivals and insist the meter runs. Use licensed cars only.
3. Tourist-menu overcharging
Jak to funguje: Some restaurants in tourist centers present menus without prices, add unrequested bread, olives, or cheese, and charge a heavy cover at the end of the meal.
Jak se tomu vyhnout: Check menus have visible prices before ordering and decline dishes you did not order.
4. Fake petition and bracelet tricks
Jak to funguje: People approach with a petition or offer a bracelet or flower, then demand payment once you touch it or sign, sometimes working as a pickpocket distraction.
Jak se tomu vyhnout: Do not make eye contact, decline any item handed to you, and walk away firmly.
5. Poor-rate exchange booths
Jak to funguje: Exchange booths near main squares advertise zero commission but apply poor rates with wide spreads, while some add service fees, costing far more than ATMs.
Jak se tomu vyhnout: Withdraw euros from a bank ATM instead, and decline dynamic currency conversion at the machine.
6. Fake ticket sellers at stations
Jak to funguje: People near Metro and tram stops offer to sell tickets or collectively swipe cards at inflated prices, sometimes claiming machines are broken or pass you an invalid card.
Jak se tomu vyhnout: Buy only from official ticket machines, metro ticket offices, or the official app.

Z letiště do centra města
Lisbon Humberto Delgado Airport (LIS)
Férová cena taxíku (oficiální, přes den): 15 € - 20 €. Use the official taxi rank outside arrivals. Confirm the meter runs. Fares vary with traffic; agree no fixed price with unlicensed drivers who approach you inside the terminal.
Nejlepší alternativa: Aerobus (Line 1) or Metro (red line to Alameda, then change) (4 €, asi 25 min)
Městská doprava: jízdenky, označení a pokuty
- Jednotlivá jízdenka
- 1,50 € (Single journey Viva Viagem card or 1 zone fare on Metro, tram or bus in Lisbon.)
- Pravidla označení
- Validate your ticket in the card reader at the station entrance before boarding, or at the front of buses and trams. Untouched tickets are invalid. Metro gates will not open without validation.
- Pokuta bez platné jízdenky
- 120 €. Fine for travelling without a valid ticket, applied on the spot by inspectors.
- Platba kartou
- Contactless bank cards work on most Lisbon buses, trams and Metro gates with automatic daily capping on some systems.
Spropitné a servisní poplatky
Spropitné: Around 5 to 10 percent is appreciated in restaurants, rounding up the bill. Not expected in taxis, though rounding up is common. Optional for tours.
Vstupní a servisní poplatky: No automatic cover charge in most restaurants. Service is normally included in the bill. Watch for tourist-area menus without prices and items added without asking.
Karty, bankomaty a směna měn
Use ATMs attached to banks. Always choose to be charged in euros and decline dynamic currency conversion. Independent street ATMs often charge higher fees. Notify your bank before travel.
Oblasti, kde je třeba zvýšené opatrnosti
- Lisbon Baixa and Alfama: Busy with pickpocketing on trams and narrow streets; keep bags closed and phones secure in crowds.
- Around Porto's São Bento station: Reports of bag snatching and pickpocketing around the station and Clérigos area at night; keep belongings secured.
