Some Retreat Activities to Consider in Lisbon

The activities Lisbon can offer will really have your group connecting on another level. Take the opportunity to learn about this fascinating culture through interactive experiences that provoke thoughtful discussion and merry collaboration.

Sunset Sail on the Tagus River

See the city from a new point of view on a sail along this gorgeous coastline. Greet your captain and skippers as you board your private vessel. Admire the spectacular skyline and relax on deck, sipping sparkling wine and nibbling on appetizers. As day turns to night beyond the horizon, music and conversation will fill the air creating an atmosphere as warm and inviting as the setting sun.

Lisbon Street Art Tour

Going through the different neighbourhoods of Lisbon, you will learn about various artists, their style, and techniques while seeing the city through a new lens. You will also learn about the history and culture of the city and the political, economic, and social issues that gave rise to Lisbon’s street art scene.

Market Tour & Portuguese Cooking Class

The best way to learn about traditional Portuguese cuisine is to join a hands-on cooking class. Your experience will kick off in the market, where you will collect all the necessary fresh ingredients for your meal. Then, upon return to the cooking school, the group will be divided into stations as each team follows their expert to make a course of the meal. The chef/instructor will teach you how to prepare a traditional Portuguese meal consisting of fish dish, meat dis, and dessert. When all the hard work is done, dig in and enjoy with your colleagues paired with excellent Portuguese wines.
