Portugal by bicycle

Portugal, warm and welcoming

At the southwestern tip of Europe and its Iberian Peninsula, Portugal delights tourists with its combination of pleasant year-round weather, welcoming villages and rocky shores with countless views of the Atlantic Ocean. This renowned cycling land will offer you challenges to match your ambition, while rewarding you with such familiar tastes as grilled octopus, the famous pasteis de Nata or the rich, sweet aromas of Port, the country's national spirit.

Beaches as far as the eye can see

Portugal's charms are many, but its beaches are hard to beat. With over 900 kilometers of Atlantic coastline, the country's extensive sandy shores are a delight for swimmers and surfers alike. If you're more of a mountain person, no problem! The rugged coastline towers above the beaches, offering countless ocean vistas to travelers.

Once inland, you'll discover Portugal's warm charm, with its small, friendly villages and year-round mild climate. Urban tourists are also well catered for with magnificent Lisbon, set between seven hills that offer magnificent views of the country's metropolis and capital. Saint George's castle and its lights will make your eyes sparkle, and the many great Lisbon restaurants and their grills will satisfy gourmets!

In Portugal, whatever the destination, there's no wrong choice! The coast and its marvellous beaches, the peaks plunging into the azure Atlantic, the towns and villages combining history and modernity - every kilometer is worth a detour. And that's just as well, because on a bike, you can make the most of every pedal stroke to create priceless memories!
