Top 10 Incentives and Venues in Sitges – Panoptic’s MICE Guide

1. Classic Car Tour

Step back in time with a retro style tour of Sitges in a classic car. After being collected from your hotel, you’ll cruise through the streets of the charming town, wind around the scenic coastal road feeling the ocean breeze in your hair, on route to the main attraction. The renowned Autòdrom Terramar is the site of Spain’s first International Grand Prix and the fourth oldest surviving track in the world!

For a full authentic vintage experience, bring along some old driving gloves & goggles or headscarves!

2. Town Tour

With a history dating back to the civil war, Sitges has so much to offer beyond its stunning beaches. A stroll along the promenade offers not only sea views but the best perspective of the incredible Americanos mansions.

The cobblestoned winding alleys of the old town are a treasure trove of beautiful buildings, pretty squares, historic churches, museums & galleries along with many unique artisan shops. The streets are narrow and shaded, with a sea breeze that takes the edge off the summer heat! 

Finally, round off the day at the luxurious and picturesque Port d’Aiguadolç with a meal at one of the outstanding seafood restaurants lining the strip, whilst looking out across the marina – dreaming of which magnificent yacht you’d love to sail off in!

3. Boat Tour

Get comfy on the front deck, sit back, and enjoy a drink, soaking up peaceful views of the glimmering blue sea as it ripples into the picturesque coast.

Celebrating something special or want to finish your trip with an experience that will leave that wow factor with your guests? Why not hire a private boat and dine in style whilst experiencing Sitges from a different perspective – watch as rich orange beams flood the skyline and radiate the town as they bounce off the beautiful architecture.

As the sun sets watch the glowing town come alive as day turns to night and the party begins!

4. Iconic Beaches

Since Sitges boasts 17 beaches, known for being some of the cleanest in Spain, we’d be remiss not to list them!

The impressive coastline lies along 18km of golden sand and deep blue sea that sparkles in the sun; each beach with its own character and most complete with showers, toilets, restaurants, beach bars, disabled access and sun beds!

With so much to offer, Sitges’ beaches are a perfect place for arranging beach/water sports and experiences for your group. Panoptic’s top picks are wind surfing, raft-building, beach yoga, volleyball and, of course, the rolling donut boat! (That being said, the variety of options available for groups are endless!)

5. Garraf National park

The Garraf National Park covers 12,820 hectares of wild Mediterranean landscape and limestone hills, with breath-taking view points.

You can explore dolines (canyons), potholes, gorges and limestone pavements where a large number of plants and wildlife reside. Along the way you will come across abandoned villages and a Buddhist Monastery (tours of the Monastery are also worthwhile).

A great variety of experiential activities are available in the park including hiking, caving, cycling, Vespas or Segway tours making it a versatile setting for a group experience that can easily be tailored to your guests and corporate objectives.

6. Attend a famous Sitges Festival
