6. LISBON BIKE TOURS
Why the Lisbon Bike Tours?
With the Lisbon Bike Tour, the Lisbon Bike Cruise or the Petiscos Bike Tour, in only
a few hours, you will see and experience the highlights of Lisbon and you will not
feel as tired as walking neither be confined to a bus or a van.
We will not make you choose between taking a picture or enjoy the views. In our
Lisbon Bike Tour you will have time to do both! Youâll have plenty of time to see
around and to feel the city.
If you feel like getting into town, see the monuments, the architecture, learn about
the history and portuguese society, the Lisbon Bike Tour is ideal for you. AndâŠno,
no, we will not make you climb the seven hills of Lisbon. In fact, you will no climb
at all (unless you want to!!).
We have designed a very easy itinerary, flowing downhill or just flat, along the
beautiful waterfront where the Tagus river meets the Atlantic ocean. Every now
and then we will stop and explain you what is envolving us, why Portugal is the
european country with the oldest borders, why just a small and tiny country has
once been the worldâs superpower. You will taste the most famous portuguese
pastry and âginginhaâ, a sweet but strong local drink not to be missed.
The Lisbon Bike Tour will lead you in a vibrant and wonderfull Lisbon experience.
8. MONSANTO MOUNTAIN BIKE TOUR â half day
Why the Monsanto Mountain Bike Tour?
With this outdoor option in the city, only 6 minutes away by bicycle from the
city center you will be able to feel the freedom of an enourmous natural
enviroment.
Where before there use to be just a plain field, today there is a giant forested
recreational area with mediterranean pines, cork and oak trees. Plenty of wide
and narrow trails makes this area ideal for mountain biking. Superb views of
the city and the river Tagus are surprising.
This tour is ideal for those who just want to do some exercise while in Lisbon,
to relax or to be away from the busy city fuss. You can combine this tour with
the reverse Lisbon Bike Tour making it into a longer half day tour or a full day
tour.

houses but also the natural and exotic environment that surrounds it with
