9 Best Team Building Workshops in Lisbon for Companies
Everyone knows that Lisbon is one of Europe’s top destinations to travel. What you may not know, is that it’s also the best place for unique and impactful team building experiences, and we want to show you why. From culinary adventures to creative cultural Workshops, our capital offers you a wide range of activities to help your team with collaboration, connection and communication among colleagues.
Whether you’re a startup looking to break the ice or a big multinational seeking employment engagement, here are 9 of the best team building Workshop experiences in Lisbon.
Cooking Team Challenges
One of the most Portuguese ways of bringing people together is through food experiences, and here at Hands On, we have just the perfect team bonding experiences through culinary experiences.
One standout is the Portuguese Petiscos Cooking Workshop, where you and your team will learn how to prepare traditional Portuguese small plates using local ingredients. In this unique Workshop, you will enjoy an interactive environment to develop your communication skills, time management, and shared problem-solving, which we believe to be essential for any workplace.
For a more elevated culinary experience, we suggest the Dinner for Friends Workshop. It offers a fine-dining experience, in which participants work together to prepare a multi-course meal, ideal for corporate groups looking to combine skill-building and gourmet satisfaction.
And if you want something authentically regional, the Alentejo Cuisine Workshop, invites your team to explore the hearty and soulful flavors of southern Portugal. It’s an ideal way to connect over food and culture, building a better team cohesion.
These workshops not only improve team synergy but also deliver a fun and delicious shared goal: a meal made (and enjoyed) together. What better way exists of connecting as a team?
Creative Collaboration
Creativity sparks innovation, and at Hands On we know that means better problem-solving and communication. These hands-on artistic Workshops will have your team working toward a common goal, while letting everyone express themselves in the best way.
The Art & Pasta Workshop combines culinary creativity and fun. Participants not only design but also shape their own pasta creating, encouraging innovation, improvisations, and most important, team spirit.
And how about exploring Lisbon’s artistic heritage? Try the Art of Azulejos – Portuguese Tile Painting Workshop. Each team member paints their own tile, which can be joined later into a collective piece, a symbolic representation of how individual contributions and strength can contribute to a unified vision.
For a modern twist, the Sewing Starter Workshop allows participants to create useful textile pieces from scratch. It’s especially engaging for teams working in design, tech, or innovative fields, where patience and precision play key roles.
Cultural Experiences
Sometimes your team needs some time out of the office, and Lisbon offers you a rich cultural and natural landscape for you to do so. These immersive experiences combine culture growth and fun for a perfect match of building trust, adaptability and collaboration.
Group Sizes
Physical and adventurous activities, like the Introduction to Climbing Workshop or the more advanced Sport Climbing Experience, are suitable for groups of various sizes up to 10 participants. Both Workshops are led by certified instructors who adapt the experience to all skill levels of practice.
Corporate Packages
Hands On offers flexible corporate packages tailored to team-building needs. These include: Workshop customization, catering, and space management. Whether it’s a half-day event or a multi-day retreat, we will help you plan everything around your team goals!
Team Dynamics
In climbing Workshops, team members must support one another through encouragement, belaying, and problem-solving on the wall. These dynamics naturally build trust, leadership skills, and resilience, exactly what any high-performing team like your needs to accomplish all the goals this year.
But if you prefer something relaxed, the Wine Tasting Introduction offers a sensory journey through Portugal’s famous wine regions, teaching participants how to taste, identify, and most important, enjoy a variety of wines, so your team makes sure they apply all the knowledge. It’s ideal for unwinding together while learning something new.
