3 tips for going alone in Lisbon

1. Pick a format with a built-in reason to talk. Talks, workshops, walks and language exchanges give you something to say without small talk. Look for the solo-friendly tag.
2. Arrive early. The first ten minutes are the easiest time to join a conversation, before groups form.
3. Set your exit. Decide in advance that you will stay for one hour. You can always leave early, and you can always stay longer.
