We were in Lisbon in 2018 and my friend in tram 28 had a random man trying to pick pock from her bag which she had in front of her with zipper done up and still he managed to nearly get in using a fake arm in a sling, if it wasn’t for our friend spotting him. All hell broke loose with us aussies.🤣fair to say he got off pretty quickly. Not happening on our watch! Though it was very busy as well lots of tourists a pick pocks dream job.

Well done for spotting him and seeing him off! We'd heard that pickpocketing is rife when it is crowded. We were very fortunate that it was so quiet as had plenty of room to move around the tram. Don't mess with the Aussies! 👍😊

Hi Peter. We hope you have a wonderful stay in Lisbon. It's a great city to explore. We stayed in a hostel right in the centre of the Baixa downtown area. We'd recommend an Airbnb as close as possible to this area for easy access to all the main sights. It's a hilly city to walk around and the Baixa area is nice and flat. Alfama close by is very atmospheric and could be a great place for Airbnb but may be a bit more expensive due to its popularity with tourists. Hope you enjoy your stay there. 👍😊 ~ Lee
