How to meet. Bars, then the river. A normal hi at the bar. Do not treat Pink Street like a theme park.

Expect. The river watches you make decisions. Touristy on the pink cobbles, better one street off.

How to meet. Walk, a tiny bar, fado if you must. Better as a date than a meeting ground.

Expect. Alleys and viewpoints. Touristy by day, nicer after the buses leave.

How to meet. Less circus than Bairro Alto. Cafes into bars. Portuguese helps. Apps still work.

Expect. Between the river and the hills. Locals who got tired of Pink Street.
