Itinerary

Day 1: Overnight Flight

Board your overnight flight, bound for Lisbon! You’re headed to the historically miscounted “City of Seven Hills.” Let us know how many you actually see.

Day 2: Arrive in Lisbon + Welcome Dinner

Welcome to Lisbon! Get ready to work those glutes, because nearly everything in Lisbon requires an uphill walk. This colorful Portuguese capital is home to classic European charm, urban innovation, and breathtaking vistas from just about anywhere you stand.

In the evening, it's time for our Welcome Dinner and Event.  Every great trip deserves a great beginning—and that's exactly what the Welcome Dinner and Event delivers. Hosted by your new bestie, your Tour Director, this kickoff moment is all about meeting your fellow travelers, learning their names, swapping stories, and easing into the adventure ahead. It's casual, fun, and the first step in turning a group of strangers into something more. Because at Ultimate Break, we believe memories are best made together.

Today’s highlights
  • Meet an EF representative at the airport.
  • Transfer to your accommodation and check in.
  • Receive the latest schedule from your Tour Director.
  • Meet your fellow travelers as they arrive.
  • Walk through the Barrio Alto and Chiado neighborhoods, Lisbon’s nightlife mecca.

Anonymous traveler, traveled in Jun 2024

This trip was all about clubbing and partying. If you don’t plan on going out to clubs every night for 35 days straight don’t book this. It was also quite cliquey. Additionally we were placed in the worst areas for the majority of the trip. Never really in city center and always...
