Meet like-minded people in Lisbon
On your own in Lisbon? Check in for the days you're there, say what you're open to, and other travellers and locals who chose to be seen can ask to join. They see your city, never your exact spot.
Lisbon is a hilly, sunny city that solo travellers love for its viewpoints, pastel de nata, fado music and friendly atmosphere. It has a large digital nomad community and a social nightlife scene in the streets. Travellers gather in Bairro Alto, Cais do Sodré, Alfama and at the LX Factory.
Meeting people in Lisbon: what works
- Stay in a social hostel in Bairro Alto or Baixa, many of which run family dinners and walking tours.
- Join a free walking tour of Alfama or Baixa to learn about the city and meet other travellers.
- Watch the sunset at viewpoints like Miradouro da Senhora do Monte or Miradouro de Santa Catarina.
- Look for co-working spaces and digital nomad meetups, which are common in Lisbon.
Stay safe
Pickpockets work on Tram 28 and in busy areas, and street sellers in Baixa may offer fake drugs, so simply ignore them and keep walking.
Meet in public places, tell a friend where you’re going, and never send money to someone you met online.
