Lisbon Bike Tour

Few major cities combine outdoor riding, rich history and world-class food as easily as Lisbon. This guided half-day tour follows a carefully designed, mostly downhill route, so you can relax and enjoy the city's Mediterranean atmosphere from the saddle while a passionate local guide shares its stories and hidden corners.

The ride starts at the top of Parque Eduardo VII and rolls down through Marquês de Pombal, Restauradores, Rossio, Praça da Figueira and the grand riverside Praça do Comércio. It then follows the Tagus past the Docas to finish at Belém Tower, where Portugal's mariners set sail to discover new worlds.

Along the way you stop for a special drink and a traditional pastry. The tour ends in Belém around lunchtime, with your guide suggesting favourite places to eat before you explore the area on your own.
