The Urban Adventurer’s Bucket List

Here at Benny's Boardroom, adventure is more than something you do a couple of times a year. It's a lifestyle. So many different people shape this brand into what it is, but we all agree on one thing - unforgettable experiences make life worth living. 

Our team is made up from true adventurers, and each of us has their own unique bucket list. So, we came up with an idea. We decided to merge our lists until we get 100 items that every adventurer needs to check off at least once.

From the places you must see and activities you have to try to once-in-a-lifetime events you need to experience, here is our ultimate urban adventurer's bucket list.
