1 – The boat tour / regatta
Our best-seller! Lisbon sits on the banks of the Tagus, a river whose reflections shine on the colourful walls of the city, inspiring every poet lucky enough to stay here. When in Lisbon, it would be a real shame not to enjoy a ride on the water — relaxed on a catamaran with a drink in hand, or sporty during a regatta! The view from the river is unforgettable.
You can enhance your cruise with an on-board barbecue, an open bar, a photographer, a live music concert, a swimming stop… In short, Travel to Lisbon can personalise this experience to your wishes and budget 😉

2 – The treasure hunt
Picture this: in the heart of Lisbon, split into teams ready to solve every riddle in play, through an epic treasure hunt leading you to a chest containing a beautiful treasure… Along the way you will wander through the most beautiful alleys of the authentic neighbourhoods, stop at the finest viewpoints, and learn plenty of anecdotes about the city’s history.
The treasure is customisable: why not end at a viewpoint at sunset and share an incredible moment tasting local petiscos and port wine?

3 – The gastronomic e-bike tour
Speaking of petiscos, did you know you can take an e-bike tour of the authentic neighbourhoods, stopping with your guide at the best local eateries to taste, each time, a range of authentic flavours and Portuguese wines? It is the perfect mix if you are looking for a gently sporty, ecological, gastronomic and original activity that takes you around the city. The route is always personalised, and it can be adjusted — you can drop the food part and keep only the e-bike discovery if you prefer.

4 – The street art workshop
Did you know it is possible to create a street art wall in the very heart of the city? Lisbon’s city council allows everyone to express themselves artistically on dedicated walls. Let your team unleash its imagination with the best street art guide in town. Beyond the theory he shares with the group, he will guide everyone to master graffiti techniques with suitable equipment provided, so that each person can create their own personal piece, or the group a collective work.

5 – The azulejos painting workshop
Let’s stay in the artistic field with a must-do in Lisbon: creating one or more traditional tiles, called “azulejos”. This two-in-one souvenir that participants take home requires no particular artistic skills: they can use pre-made stencil templates or create their own design. Either way, it is a masterpiece they will proudly show around — and it will always remind them of this beautiful trip with their colleagues!
We even offer to host this workshop in a dedicated café in the city centre.

6 – The (real) treasure hunt
Oops, Travel to Lisbon never stops hunting for ever more playful activities. This little flaw (hehe) lets us present the (real) treasure hunt: one you will do in a natural park, starting by splitting into teams, each with its own boat and skipper. Using a pirate map, teams must collect clues placed in the water, leading them to a treasure buried in the sand on a paradise beach. Yes, you read that right. Because Lisbon is close to the coast and an absolutely superb nature reserve, this kind of ultra-original activity is possible.
Mixing competition and team spirit, only by gathering all the clues will the treasure be found!

7 – The surf session and beach club
This time, to each their own: a private surf session with instructor, equipment and incredible waves, or relaxing on a sun lounger and splashing in the sea with the kitschest float possible… Give your teams the choice between riding the waves and unwinding on the warm sand! Whatever they choose, the group stays on the same spot, so everyone can meet up at the end of the afternoon for a cocktail in the beach club area reserved for them! It would be a shame not to enjoy Lisbon’s wonderful weather and its proximity to the most beautiful beaches of the coast 🙂

8 – The Olympiads
You thought we were leaving the beach? Not at all. Is your team eager for group games and challenges? Travel to Lisbon has the ideal activity: the Olympiads! Each team gets its flag and will do everything in its power to win the best-team prize and the gifts that come with it. Required skills: good mood, adaptability, cohesion, communication, problem-solving, time management and strategy. Your guides will organise a whole set of beach games — the ideal scenario to break away from traditional corporate postures.

9 – The wine route
Are your colleagues fond of fine things? Take them on a tour of the temples of wine in the heart of the city centre, strolling through the historic neighbourhoods, with tastings, of course, of many local and national grape varieties, commented by specialists. Portuguese wines will hold no more secrets for you!

10 – The rooftop party
Here is the best way to close an already unforgettable stay: thank your team with a magical evening on one of Lisbon’s many rooftops, at sunset. Between the petiscos (local tapas) they will share and the open-bar drinks they will sip, they won’t know where to look. Well, yes: their eyes will inevitably turn to the sublime view in front of them.

P.s.: this list is absolutely not exhaustive — there are many more possible activities in Lisbon, even ones that don’t exist yet… Because that’s what bespoke means 🙂
