I personally really enjoyed my time in Porto. It was arguably even safer than most cities in America and the rest of Europe. But even with that information you obviously need to watch out for your things aswell as there might be pickpocketing in the more densely populated areas.

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.
