Dan and the team managed to plan a weekend of adventures and memories that all 11 of us enjoyed from start to finish. We had accomodation arranged in the centre of Lisbon, excursions that proved incredibly exciting and lots of opportunity to eat and drink to our hearts content.
Particular highlights included a cheese and wine tour and roof top bar drinks, all of it accompanied by amazing scenery and great company.

Why We Love This…
“Lisbon has to be right up there with one of the best stag destinations in Europe. I love the style and size of Lisbon, great city for exploring and finding random cool bars. One of my favourite days is heading for a morning surf, followed by a sailing trip on the Tagus River whilst enjoying a freshly cooked BBQ and finishing the day with rooftop drinks in Lisbon. Epic stuff!”
