Felt safer than Lisbon.

During the day there are always plenty of people about and so muggings feel like a low threat. Petty theft though I'd imagine is frequent. Common sense applies - don't keep anything in easily reachable pockets, don't walk isolated areas at night and be aware of your surroundings when taking photographs or looking at views.

Overall it's a safe city in the morning. Be aware of pickpocketers and scammers, there's plenty of them everywhere. Scammers may come up to you and ask you for help and then steal your bag. If anyone comes up to you out of nowhere, keep on walking and ignore them. Most pickpocketers and scammers usually are near the metro station and are Indian or Pakistani. During the night it's not really that safe but it depends on where you go. It's not the safest city but you will enjoy visiting Porto, just use common sense.

The people who did this have no idea about what they are doing. How can you say that the worries of being insulted are 25? while at the same time Stockholm is 40? It must be a joke. I lived in Stockholm for 1 year and I was never insulted. In Porto it happens all the time. I'm from Porto and I can easily tell that the city is way less safe than you say
