Você vs. Tu in Portugal I know that "você" is the most common form of "you" in most of Brazil. I've heard that it isn't used much in Portugal; is that true? If "você" is not used, what is the most common way to address people? "Tu" seems so informal.

In this case, in Portugal is the opposite of Brazil. "Tu" in Portugal is informal. Tu falas - Brasil (algumas regiões): pouco usado / Portugal: informal

Tu é informal em Portugal. Não sei em relação a "você" Mas em alguns lugares do Brasil de usa sim, Tu informalmente como no sul e no Rio de janeiro (mas no Rio a gente não conjuga o verbo na segunda pessoa, a gente usa na terceira com o Tu, só substituindo a palavra Você. Bem informal. Só que mesmo assim, acho melhor usar Você no RJ) Espero ter ajudado em alguma coisa.
