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.

Πώς λειτουργεί: 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.
Πώς να το αποφύγετε: Keep bags zipped and in front, phones out of back pockets, and avoid showing valuables in dense crowds.
Πώς λειτουργεί: Unlicensed drivers approach arriving passengers inside the terminal offering rides at inflated fixed prices, often without a meter or official credentials.
Πώς να το αποφύγετε: Walk to the official taxi rank outside arrivals and insist the meter runs. Use licensed cars only.
Πώς λειτουργεί: 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.
Πώς να το αποφύγετε: Check menus have visible prices before ordering and decline dishes you did not order.
Πώς λειτουργεί: 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.
Πώς να το αποφύγετε: Do not make eye contact, decline any item handed to you, and walk away firmly.
Πώς λειτουργεί: 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.
