Team incentive in Lisbon

Face-to-face meetings are essential for teams that mostly work from home. This is because the new working models require clear structures, discipline and, above all, effective communication – one of the biggest challenges in today’s working world. Our team, which meets regularly online, therefore comes together live three to four times a year to discuss projects, clarify questions, set goals and enjoy time together in an attractive city like Lisbon.

Tips for a team event in Lisbon

Lisbon is ideal for combining work, leisure activities and sightseeing. Whether in a hotel lobby, a café, a shady park, in a cozy Airbnb or on a rooftop terrace with a city view, we have chosen the right location for every meeting theme. This gives each topic its own space and time frame, which makes it easier to remember later. The paths between the locations offer perfect opportunities for one-to-one meetings or walk and talk.

3 tips for an effective team meeting in Lisbon

Tip 1: Start the day with complex topics in a quiet environment. You can save lighter topics for the afternoon in a relaxed atmosphere.

Tip 2: Depending on the size of the group, reserve tables for lunch and dinner. This saves you having to search for a restaurant, which can be particularly difficult at the weekend if there are a large number of participants.

Tip 3: Also plan free space for spontaneous activities. For us, it was a tuk-tuk tour through Lisbon’s old town, past the highest viewpoints.

More excursion ideas for teams in Lisbon:

• A boat tour on the Tagus past the Cristo Rei statue and the Ponte de 25 Abril, the Torre de Belém and the Padrão dos Descobrimentos. A sailing tour at sunset with Portuguese wine is particularly recommended.
• A ride on a historic streetcar, ideal for exploring the historic city center, for example on line 28 through the Graça, Alfama and Baixa districts.
• An evening in the Bairro Alto district, known for its lively nightlife, street art, trendy bars and traditional restaurants with the sound of fado.

You should also try the famous pasteis de nata, a typical puff pastry tart with a custard filling – perfect for a sweet snack between meals.

Conclusion: An incentive trip to Lisbon is ideal for returning to work with new ideas and inspiration.
