Xmas Adventure Guimarães
The festive season is approaching and it brings the perfect chance to treat the team to a memorable team building experience in Guimarães.

Armed with smartphones and the clever CityHunters app, participants will see Guimarães through a new lens as teamwork, curiosity and fun combine to transform a company christmas party into something genuinely special.
An adventure through the history of Guimarães
Guimarães, often called the cradle of the nation, provides a dramatic backdrop for a team building event. Begin at the tourist information point or any preferred downtown meeting spot, then dive into the citys rich past. Marvel at the Castle of Guimarães, standing guard above the town, and wander toward the Church of São Miguel do Castelo to feel the echoes of earlier times while strolling through picturesque lanes and squares.
Puzzles, stories and seasonal spirit
The CityHunters Xmas Adventure is more than a game; it is a journey through history and a challenge for group collaboration. As teams roam Guimarães they will crack clever puzzles and uncover intriguing tales tied to landmarks like the Igreja de Nossa Senhora da Oliveira and the Padrão de D. João I. Where old stones meet modern wit, the Scavenger Hunt tests communication and creativity while the festive atmosphere lifts spirits.
Creating shared moments
A company outing to Guimarães is an ideal opportunity to strengthen bonds. The citys charming alleys and historic sites, including the Palace of the Dukes of Braganza and the Palácio de Vila Flor, make a natural stage for a team building experience. Let the seasonal decorations and the aroma of roasted chestnuts and mulled wine add atmosphere as teams complete tasks and make memories that endure beyond the day.
Flexibility and freedom for the event
The Xmas Adventure is designed for maximum flexibility. Organizers choose the start time and pace, so the activity fits neatly into any schedule. Whether it forms part of an departments celebration, a company summer party or a company outing, this team building event pairs perfectly with a relaxed dinner or a visit to the Christmas market. Enjoy the freedom to shape the day to suit preferences and experience a low-stress, independent outing.
A treat for the senses and the team spirit
Guimarães offers not only history but delicious local flavours. After an energizing team building experience, participants can sample regional specialties and toast the day with a glass of Vinho Verde. The CityHunters Xmas Adventure is more than an activity — it is a chance to give the team a standout experience, creating moments of connection and joy that will be remembered long after the lights come down.
