Portugal, warm and welcoming

At the southwestern tip of Europe and the Iberian Peninsula, Portugal delights tourists with its combination of pleasant weather all year round, welcoming villages, and rocky shores with countless views of the Atlantic Ocean. This renowned cycling destination offers challenges to match your ambition, while rewarding you with well-known culinary delights such as grilled octopus, the famous pasteis de Nata, and the rich, sweet aromas of port, the country's national drink.

Beaches as far as the eye can see

Portugal has many charms, but it must be said that its beaches are hard to beat. With over 900 kilometers of Atlantic coastline, the country attracts visitors with its long sandy shores, which are a delight for swimmers and surfers alike. If you're more of a mountain person, no problem! The rugged coastline overlooks the beaches and offers travelers countless views of the ocean.

Once you arrive in Portugal, you will discover the warm charm of the country, with its welcoming small villages and mild climate all year round. Urban tourists are also well catered for with magnificent Lisbon, located between seven hills that offer magnificent views of the metropolis and capital of the country. Its Saint George's Castle and lights will make your eyes sparkle, and Lisbon's many great restaurants and their grilled meats will satisfy food lovers!

In Portugal, no matter where you go, you can't go wrong! The coastline and its stunning beaches, the peaks plunging into the deep blue Atlantic, the towns and villages that combine history and modernity—every mile is worth the detour. That's good news, because on a bike, you can enjoy every pedal stroke to the fullest and create priceless memories!
