Lisbon might not be the first place you think of for a stag do, but there’s no real reason that should be the case. In fact, Lisbon might be the best kept secret in the stag do industry – but I’m here to tell you to jump on it fast, because pretty soon everyone will be booking their stag weekends to Lisbon! The capital of Portugal, Lisbon is one of those cities that seems to have everything. It’s got amazing activities, brilliant nightlife, and some of the warmest weather that mainland Europe ever sees, so it’s no surprise that more than two million people a year choose to holiday in Lisbon.
It’s not just the weather and the things to do that make a Lisbon Stag Do a sure-fire hit though, it’s everything else that the city has to offer as well. It has an atmosphere of pure relaxation, but with plenty of excitement and wonder dotted about the place. Whether you want to hit the beaches, explore the culture or just relax by a pool, a Lisbon Stag Do has got you covered.
Any European Stag do planning always starts with the essential question “But how do we get there?”. Well the good news for those of you considering a Lisbon Stag Do is that direct flights are available from a selection of UK airports dotted up and down the country. With flight times somewhere between two and a half hours and three hours, it won’t take you long to go from a cold, grim UK airport to the warm paradise of Lisbon – and it won’t cost the earth either!
Once you get to Lisbon, the convenience continues. Like many European cities, Lisbon has a wide range of public transport options for you and the lads to get where you need to go. There’s the metro (like the London Underground but with a bit more breathing space), there are trams, buses and of course taxis as well. All of these are very reasonably priced and convenient, making your Lisbon Stag Do even easier to organise than you thought possible. And we’re not done yet.
Just like a wide range of European destinations, the most popular accommodation type for any Lisbon Stag do tends to be apartment accommodation. These perfect little homes away from home give you the chance to have some living space of your own, where you can chill out, enjoy a pre-drink or three and just generally feel at home. Many of the apartment blocks also have pools, so you can relax and soak up the sun or go for a swim without even having to leave the accommodation.
Alternatively, if you’d prefer to go for hotel accommodation, the complete range of options is available in Lisbon to suit any budget and requirements – so whether you just want a bed to sleep in, or want to lounge in the life of luxury, all of the options are on the table for you and the lads when arranging your perfect Lisbon Stag Do.
Lisbon is full of activities for you and the lads to enjoy on your Lisbon Stag Do. Whatever your tastes may be, you’ll find activities that are perfect for you. For some groups, the Beer Bike is the essential Lisbon Stag Do activity. If you’ve never been on a Beer Bike, you’ve never lived. For those of you who don’t know what it is, allow me to explain. You all get to sit around what is essentially a small bar on wheels, and you all pedal as a guide pours you drinks, steers the bike and gives you a guided tour of the local area, all at the same time. In other words, if your ideal way of being shown around a new city is from the comfort of a barstool, then this is the activity for you.
If you are a football-mad Lisbon Stag Do, then the Benfica Stadium Tour is probably something that you should consider including in any planned weekend away. The home of many classic UEFA Cup and Champions League games, this hugely impressive stadium is well worth a visit, as it also includes the opportunity to visit the museum as well, so you’ll see many things that will take your breath away.
That’s just a couple of the many activities available for your Lisbon Stag Do (as you can tell from looking at the list below). Whether you are interested in either of these, or boat trips, escape rooms, beer tasting or any of countless other options, I hope you can see that a Lisbon Stag Do will provide something for everyone.
Lisbon’s nightlife is out of this world. I almost don’t need to write anything more than that. A night out in Lisbon is unlike a night out you’ll experience anywhere else in the world. I don’t know if it’s the atmosphere, or the huge selection of options, or the wide range of drinks available to you, but it is honestly one of the best nights out I’ve ever had.
We do recommend a guided bar crawl for at least one of the nights of your Lisbon Stag Do – the advantage of it is that you’ll get a local showing you which bars and clubs are the best, and hopefully this will stop you being paralysed with choice whenever you go out for the rest of your weekend away.
