As a Colombian trying to escape insecurity, and as someone who has lived in Amadora for the past 4 years (very close to the street in the beginning), I can confidently say that much of what is mentioned in this video is not true.
Here at Portugal, the minister of culture made everybody at school to learn English starting on the first day of classes. This was an historic decision, after 2010. The problem is the people are very shy about speaking different languages. But there are lots of people like me who like to practise the English language on the real life, instead of only in classes.
Amadora is a big city, with some problematic areas. you're probably safer in Amadora than in some of the smaller towns around Sintra. I would argue that Mercês, rio de mouro, etc... is worse on the crime department. Even Cacém has more issues, there are safe and good neighbourhoods in Amadora, more than dangerous ones
I was born and live in Amadora for 32 years and I have never been robbed in Amadora but I was robbed on the Lisbon metro a few years ago. Amadora is a safe city.
No , is not. Just because you havent been robbed does not mean is a safe city. Maybe you just had luck or avoid on purpose certain places at night. Go to train station area around 2:00am or Filomena neighborhood..I lived in Queluz all my childhood until adult my mother family is from Amadora- Venda Nova. I have never been robbed too in Amadora or Queluz(my father was once in queluz at 3am unfortunely he was drunk so easy target..) . I was robbed in Lisbon when teen maybe 2, 3 times. Maybe Lisbon might be a bit worse regarding assaults and petty crime, but Amadora, Queluz, Cacém have lots of gangs and crime. Just didnt happen to us.

I am considering moving to Lisbon with my mom. She is in a wheelchair. Amadora looks pretty flat which is good. Last time I was in Lisbon earlier this year I ended up in a mall near Amadora but I did not realize that was the name of the area I was in at the time. I wonder if you would recommend any other areas? We need to be within a 30 minute drive to a good hospital. All of the popular areas (Campo Do Ourique, Alvalade, etc) are so expensive now. I was going to look at Benfica or Setubal in addition to Amadora. Or go somewhere else like maybe Aveiro or Coimbra.

@@juiceboxleal6254 Ah... Caldas da Rainha. That explains it. (Leiria doesn't actually exist, everyone knows that) No wonder you got a different experience. You got the Leiria experience.

It's pretty good and quite safe (especially at night), with lots of services and good transportation to Lisbon. The population is mostly from the working class. There are a lot of immigrants living here (Cape Verde, Brazil, Angola, India)
Amadora, crime capital of Portugal? :))))) Are you crazy? That is totally out of date. Amadora is currently one of the most sought after areas for home purchase. There are some incidents in some neighborhoods, such as Cova da Moura but, as in any city... nothing too serious.
Mas os crimes nem sequer sao feitos por portugueses na amadora sao por africanos e brasileiros mas ninguem fala porque vao dizer que é xenofobia e racismo kk
Isso nem é verdade, há muitos portugueses nos grupos de crime organizado dos arredores de Lisboa. Isso de serem só imigrantes é propaganda dos mesmos do costume, qualquer pessoa que conhece a realidade destes bairros sabe que isso é falso.
My heart sank a little when you put the glass bottle in the paper bin
most native portuguese know English you wrong about that kkkk the ones that don t know are very old people ...

Taking in consideration your situation go to Coimbra not Lisbon or Porto

I will move soon from Santa Polina and i am confused which city are good to find a work in Food Delivery
Almada -Amadora -Odivelas-Sintra ?
I would go to Ferry street in Newark when it was Portuguese it's not so Portuguese anymore i wonder if anybody from the city you're in moved to NJ
How good is Amadora esp if you're a foreigner?
I'm South African

"Amadora - Crime Capital of Portugal" - No crime was commited or witnessed during this video.
Do you think Amadora is as dangerous as you thought or told you.?
For the title, I honestly just went with the info I found on Google but to me, Amadora isn't dangerous at all.
@@realstreetwalks because you didnt go to the dangerous parts, most of Amadora is safe and good, but there are a few pockets that are really bad
What is it like getting public transport into Losbon from Amadora? What is the best way to go to Lisbon centre on public transport?
It's easy to get to Lisbon from Amadora. Takes about 25 mins on the metro. Lisbon has a very good transit system.
20 minutes by train gets you to downtown Lisbon
Amadora, crime capital of Portugal? :))))) Are you crazy? That is totally out of date. Amadora is currently one of the most sought after areas for home purchase. There are some incidents in some neighborhoods, such as Cova da Moura but, as in any city... nothing too serious.
Well compared to other countries EVEN if Amadora is the crime capital its way better then the most peaceful capitals of other countries lol
Thats not the hood 😂 go to cova da moura or Quinta da lage , Damaia , Reboleira , Cacem , Rio de mouro
Mas os crimes nem sequer sao feitos por portugueses na amadora sao por africanos e brasileiros mas ninguem fala porque vao dizer que é xenofobia e racismo kk

these ugly flats reminded me of Germany, especially with the overcast weather...
linha de sintra e pesada
this is absolutely nothing compared to any latin american country
Compare to Brasil,Portugal is a paradise!!
That's not something to be proud of.
Portugal is still one of the safest countries in the world.@@williamsmeds1368
