Your cycling tour from Porto to Lisbon:

The Porto to Lisbon biking holiday is a delightful tour linking the two main towns of Portugal and visiting several main cultural spots of the country while cycling along nature and scenic coastal trails. Start with Porto, one of Europe’s most beautiful cities, classified as a Unesco World Heritage Property. Experience Aveiro, the Venice of Portugal and the walled village of Óbidos. Finally, Lisbon. On the right bank of the broad Tagus river estuary, the capital of Portugal graciously reclines over rolling hills.

Day 1 : Arrival in Porto


Porto, a World Heritage City, has a historic centre with over 150 listed monuments. Hiking alongside the Douro River is sufficient to make you aware of what this beautiful, lively city has to offer visitors: the Bolsa Palace housing the Stock Exchange, the monumental Clérigos church and tower and the Cathedral are just some of the highlights.

Day 2 : Porto – Furadouro | 42 km


This morning you exchange the hustle and bustle of the city for the peace and quiet of the Atlantic shore. You will have a lovely ride along the coast, partly through a pine woods. The day ends in Furadouro, a hospitable town renowned for its excellent fish. Enjoy your meal!

Day 3 : Furadouro – Aveiro | 40 km


For this stage, you must not miss visiting the small town of Costa Nova, with its picturesque town centre of multi-coloured striped houses; if you have time take a ride on a Moliceiro, the hand painted wooden boats used for gathering seaweed. Travel through the channels of the “Portuguese Venice” in one of the beautiful Moliceiros boats and let yourself be seduced by the typical pastry of Aveiro.

Day 4 : Aveiro – Praia de Mira | 35 km


The cycle path along the Aveiro lagoon will take you to Costa Nova. The brightly striped beach houses are a popular backdrop for vacation photos. Continue pedaling leisurely southwards and you’ll soon reach your destination for the day. Stroll along the kilometer-long sandy beach and enjoy the atmosphere of this peaceful seaside resort.

Day 5 : Praia de Mira - Figueira da Foz | 45 km


You cycle through a dune landscape on gentle hills. Crickets chirp in the pine forest and soon you will see the first cliff ahead of you. The road leads spectacularly towards the Cabo Mondego lighthouse and then further on towards Figueira da Foz, which is a charming little town with lots of restaurants, decorative alleys, slow-paced cafes and of course a beautiful beach.

Day 6 : Figueira da Foz – Sintra - Cascais | transfer + 45 km


In the morning you transfer to royal Sintra where you will find many palaces and stately homes. From here it’s a rushing descent back towards the coast. Wonderful views of the sea and dreamy sandy bays make the odd climb on the way to Cascais worth it. At the end of the day, you will be welcomed by the lovely promenade to the stylish town of Cascais.

Day 7 : Cascais - Lisbon | 40 km


The cycle path runs right along the shore to Estoril. After that you will soon reach the mouth of the River Tagus. The famous Belem Tower lies directly en route after which you will ride underneath Lisbon’s landmark, the mighty suspension bridge. Continue along the banks of the Tagus to your hotel in the modern district of Oriente.
