Explore the winding streets and get your shopping fix at the flea markets. Mind out for those cobbles if you’re wearing heels though! With lots of shopping, sights, sun, sea, sand and even a Sangria Bike! This city that’s sunny all year round is the perfect hen getaway.
There are a whole range of activities to enjoy, from relaxing in a spa to surfing in the ocean and exploring the city with a treasure hunt to finding your way out of an escape room. With good food and good wine – Lisbon is already looking like a pretty good idea!
Once night falls, you’ll discover a massive range of buzzing bars where the party spills on to the streets. When in Lisbon, you’ve got to taste a ginjinha, Portugal’s national drink. Beware though, this yummy cherry liqueur has a pretty high alcohol content! This drink is usually served in a shot glass so knock one back whilst you’re in the city and savour its sweet taste before you carry on your night out.
Get your best Portu-gals together (see what we did there?) and get ready to explore this gorgeous destination!

Fancy something more active for your hen party in Lisbon? Unleash your inner beach babes with a Surfing Lesson or spot of Kayaking. If you want to really out do the fiancé on his stag then why not head to Quad Biking or Paintballing and show him how it’s really done.

Unfortunately we were unable to do the high ropes as at least 3 of the 12 participants were over 100kg in weight. This was disappointing as the information was not disclosed to us and I think is an important piece of information when booking for this activity. Nevertheless, the hosts were very accommodating and were able to switch us on to Paintballing as a group which was great. They really engaged with us and made it a fun experience which helped in forgetting the disappointment of high ropes.
It was great fun! All the girls loved it especially the bride to be. The teacher was lovely and pitched the session exactly right!
Great fun! The bride had a great time, so did all the group. Cathy was so welcoming, fun, funny and helpful. Thanks again so much, we all had a really brilliant time!

If you find yourself running out of time to explore Lisbon, or just fancy a drink whilst you head on your sight-seeing. why not try out a Sangria Bike?

This is one activity not to be missed as it’s a hilarious way to have fun with your friends whilst still seeing the top attractions.
When the sun starts to set, head to a cocktail bar and try Cocktail Making with your friends. You’ll learn all about how to make these delicious drinks as well as tasting everything you make. Yum!
When planning a hen do in Lisbon, it’s best to think about when to go well ahead of time. As different seasons of the year can vastly change the price of not only plane tickets but accommodation, as well as how crowded the city will be.
March to May and September to October are the best times to go when the weather’s warm, the hotels are cheaper and of course there’ll be fewer crowds. If you can’t stand the heat too much then this is a very pleasant time of year to come!
Alternatively, you can head to this city in the summer months where the sun is stronger, the temperature is hotter, and the streets are crowded. This is, of course, a very popular time to come so make sure you book ahead to ensure your hotel space!
An unusual, but not unheard of, time to come is from November through to February when the weather is cooler but still pleasant and warmer than the UK! The prices will drop at this time and you’ll have the city to yourselves and the locals.
Once you’ve had a good read over everything you can do and explore in Lisbon, it’s time to check out the various individual listings and see what takes your fancy the most. From Cocktail Making to Car Tours and Sangria Bikes to Pole Dancing there’s something for everyone in your group to enjoy on your Lisbon hen do. All you need to do is enquire via the activity page where you’ll be able to speak directly with the activity provider, ask them any questions you have about the event and get yourselves all booked in!
