Valentine’s the worst, isn’t it? All the places cater for couples, Instagram feeds get flooded with the cheesiest tributes and nobody seems to recognize the perks of actually having some alone time. Yep, being single on Valentine’s can sometimes be quite the struggle… but it doesn’t have to be! If you’re single (and maybe not so ready to mingle) and are looking out for fun things to do in Porto this February 14th, then this might be the time to rethink your plans!
HERE ARE 5 COOL THINGS TO DO IN PORTO IF YOU’RE SINGLE ON VALENTINE’S DAY

We all know there is a wide range of feelings one can experience during Valentine’s Day, especially if all your friends are engaged, waving their heavy diamond rings and rubbing them in your face via social media posts every other minute (this one is for the ladies, sorry guys). The array of emotions can go from sadness, to despair, to rage in a matter of seconds. But here’s a cool idea: stop feeling like a forever alone meme and start feeling reckless! Great food, amazing drinks and a sexy waiter wearing close to nothing: sounds good, doesn’t it? Definitely an Anti-Valentine’s kind of vibe. At the Lingerie Restaurant menus range from 30€ to 75€ and include a tantric orgy, foreplay and an Italian shag – we’re talking about their dishes, obviously, you perv! Don’t forget to book your table in advance. The Lingerie Restaurant is open from Wednesday to Saturday between 9pm and 1am.
