Campera Karting

In Carregado, north of Lisbon in the Tagus valley, Campera Karting offers an outdoor kartódromo open all year. The venue runs kart rental for adults, children and two-seaters, along with group events for companies and trophies, enough to please families and colleague outings alike. People come to string together timed laps a short way from the large Campera Outlet shopping area.

Karting stays open to everyone, no licence or experience needed: a briefing, a helmet, and off you go chasing your best lap. The variety of karts, from the youngest to adults, makes it open to the whole family, and the option to book the whole track appeals to groups. The hours run wide through the week and widen at the weekend, into the evening. People happily return to beat their time, stopwatch in hand.

Carregado is a town in the Tagus valley, in a region of fertile plains north of Lisbon, known for its horse and bull breeding. The Portuguese capital, spread over its hills by the Tagus, unfolds its historic quarters, its yellow trams and its viewpoints over the river, half an hour's drive away. Nearby, Vila Franca de Xira keeps the equestrian traditions of the Ribatejo alive. The area is easily reached by the A1 motorway from Lisbon or the north of the country.
