Company trip to Porto

Scroll

At the beginning of September, EVENTÔIR had planned a company trip to Porto for an insurance company. We had already organized a trip to Mallorca for them a year ago. This was a great opportunity to show a new city and make them fall in love with Porto.

Being the second-largest city of Portugal, it is a picturesque place to visit with its narrow streets and colorful houses.

The company trip to Porto lasted for 4 days and included 20 attendees. The weather was great, having an average of 25-30 degrees on a daily basis. Our client had asked for an event program that incorporated two main activities for the group to come together. But also enough free time for them to enjoy the city.

An early flight brought everyone from Schiphol airport to Porto in only 2.5 hours. The transfer arranged, thus, after landing, the attendees brought to the hotel, showing them the city on a small tour.

When arrived at the Holiday Inn Porto Gaia Hotel, which is a great hotel, the trip to Porto was about to start. It is located in Vila Nova de Gaia, located south of Porto, on the other side of the Douro River.

Upon arrival, the group was able to drop off their luggage at the hotel and then make their way to explore this amazing city. They granted a whole day to get lost in the striking streets of Porto.

On the second day, the group was invited to a river cruise on the Douro river, in Ribeira. During this hour-long river cruise, they got to see the 6 bridges that connect Porto to its neighboring cities.

Ribeira is to be the most beautiful and liveliest area of Porto. The facades of the houses will leave you in awe, and the many delicious. It makes the perfect place to be during the day and even at night.

The city is a great destination for a company trip as it has many distinct offers for every wish. Finally, the feedback was very positive and we will be happy to continue working with this company.
