RideLisbon – Bike Tour Lisbon

Lisbon Bike Tour

When we look at Lisbon, the city of 7 hills , we tell ourselves at first glance that it’s not as “bike-friendly” like that. Indeed, the sinuous landscapes and the slopes can discourage more than one. The tram rails, as well as the cobblestones that litter the streets, are quite dissuasive for those who would like to cycle in Lisbon. When in fact, the city is well designed to ride. Indeed, several bike lanes have been created for a few years now to allow Lisbon people to move quickly and economically. Because yes, the installation of these cycle paths also responds to an economic interest (the country having been often affected by financial crises) and to travel by bicycle is the most inexpensive solution. Since then, Lisbon has recently become a European city where cycling is within the reach of everyone following the construction of numerous infrastructures. This has allowed many tourism players to benefit from it as is the case with our company RideLisbon . 

Since 2018 we have been offering bike tours to discover the Portuguese capital. Our initial idea meets a growing need on the part of travelers to travel economically, quickly and above all environmentally friendly. Because yes, the majority of travelers no longer want to do things like everyone else and visiting a city by bicycle has become in recent years a great alternative to conventional modes of transport. Going to tourist places by bike has all its charm. No more long waits at the tram or bus stop to get to the monuments, no more being seen as a simple tourist aboard a double-decker tourist bus. Thanks to RideLisbon, you can explore the city with locals, to feel like a real local. Our philosophy is to show you the city like no one has ever shown it to you. Everything you learn during our tours, no books or website speaks about it because who better than the locals to tell you about the local culture and live in Lisbon.

See Lisbon like a local, with a local

bike tour Tagus river Lisbon

Indeed our number 1 priority is to bring real value to the bike tour. You can learn about the history of Lisbon and its monuments, but what about the local culture and the situation of its inhabitants? No one can explain it to you better than a local guide who lives in the city. 

One of our objectives is also to make you discover the history of the city chronologically. As with a book, you don’t start at the end or the middle. Well on our bike tours it is the same. 

Alfama, the heart of Lisbon

viewpoint from graca lisbon

We start our tour at the very beginning of Lisbon’s history, that is to say in the Alfama district. Located in the center of the city, this district is a must during a stay in Lisbon . The atmosphere is very special because here everyone knows each other, everyone talks with everyone and that for centuries. Formerly a bastion of the Moors, this district today represents a village inside a city of 2 million inhabitants. 

We also recommend a more extensive visit to the neighborhood during a day trip.

Bike in Lisbon safely

Outside the Alfama district, the rest of our route is on a 7km long bike lane. This cycle track opened since 2010 connects downtown Lisbon (Cais do Sodré) to Belém. It is a track intended only for bikes and separates from the road so it is very safe to ride a bike there. It provides access to the tourist district of Belém. It is the best option to get there.

Reach out Belém in the nicest way possible with the best bike tour

bike tour lisboa

From Belém, you will be amazed by the number of monuments per sqm2! This district is known worldwide for being the starting point for the largest expeditions around the world. These expeditions have enriched the country, evidenced by the monuments built at that time: the monastery of Jeronimos and the Tower of Belém. But that’s not all. The district is also known for being the cultural place of the city. There are about 10 museums there! As with Alfama, we recommend that you also spend half a day there during a day trip because there are many things to do in Belém. 

The advantage of opting for a bike tour with us is that you will not have to look for any kind of transport to get to Belém. Because from the city center most tourists will opt for public transport (tram 15) and you can imagine that this tram is constantly full. So if you don’t want that, take one of our tours. This will allow you to see the city differently. 

Following our visit to the Belém district, we will return to the city center where we started our journey, without break, a pure 45-minute ride along the Tagus. Because yes, the goal of our tour is also to be able to cycle quite simply. This responds to a real expectation of our customers who during a bike tour wants to know the history of the city, its culture, the current situation but also to take a bike ride. It will be the perfect time to exchange good advice between travelers and also to ask our guides for the best places to eat, go for a drink, etc. Do not hesitate to also ask them at the end of the tour to head to the best restaurants in the city.

The Top 7 Bike Tours in Lisbon: An adventure for a day 2024

Are you looking for the best bike tours in lisbon i’ve got you covered.

Lisbon is an amazing city steeped in history and culture , making it a great choice for a bike tour. I’ve spent many afternoons exploring the city on two wheels, taking in the stunning views, learning about the city’s history and experiencing the vibrant atmosphere of Lisbon.

When I arrived in Lisbon I quickly learned that two wheels is definitely better than driving on four in Lisbon since traffic and parking are such a pain in the neck!

From personal experience, one of the most rewarding adventures you can have in Lisbon is on a guided bike tour. I often take an e-bike downtown since its one of the best ways to get around.

Not only do you get to admire gorgeous views while zipping around town on two wheels, but you also get to learn about the city from experienced locals who are passionate about their hometown. This fills your day with energy, fun stories and fascinating insights about Lisbon that makes your visit much more memorable. I also find that biking is a great way to get some exercise in while I’m travelling since I tend to overeat and instantly feel like an overstuffed piñata! Check out the best bike tours in Lisbon below and get your body moving all while seeing Lisbon at it’s finest.

If you’ve got kids in tow, remember that bike tours don’t cater to children below the age of 10 since they don’t have e-bikes in children’s sizes.

They are also very friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend this tour at the beginning of the trip as it will help get your bearings of the city and they can give you tips and advice.” -Jean (Read more reviews)

2. Lisbon: 7 Hills Half-Day Electric Bike Tour

⭐️ RATING: 4.9/5 Stars | ⏳ TOUR LENGTH:  3 hours | 📍 START: Alfama

The 7 Hills Half-Day eBike Tour gives you the opportunity to explore and discover Lisbon’s historical center in a fun and easy way, navigating its hilly landscape with the help of an electric bike. You’ll get to enjoy panoramic views from the Miradouro da Graça, and the terrace of Chão do Loureiro without the huffing and puffing! Departing close to the harbor, you’ll see sites such as the famous Feira da Ladra flea market, the monumental church of Panteão Nacional, and the Mannerist Monastery of São Vicente de Fora. You’ll also visit some beautiful landmarks like the impressive Sé de Lisboa cathedral or use the Ascensor da Lavra funicular.

I absolutely loved exploring the delightful city neighbourhoods of Vila Berta and Penha de França during this tour! They offer two convenient time slots at 10 am or 3 pm, allowing you to choose based on your schedule.

The tour lasts approximately three hours and concludes with a complimentary drink, which I personally found to be a delightful way to end the experience.

“Overall this tour is excellent value for money! Far better way to get a feel for a city by treading its streets than a tourist bus! You get some great historical tips and wonderful views. The e-bikes mean you can control if you want a leg workout or a leisurely glide up the many hills.” -Matthew (Read more reviews)

3. Go Lisbon by Night Electric Bike Tour

⭐️  RATING:  5/5 Stars | ⏳  TOUR LENGTH:   3 hours |📍 Start: Alfama

The Go Lisbon by Night e-bike Tour is an unforgettable experience since you get to tour this amazing city by night! As the sun sets, you will be taken to some of Lisbon’s most popular sites, many of which have breathtaking panoramic views.

The beauty of riding an electric bike is the ease with which you’ll go up and down Lisbon’s narrow streets. You will also get to see traditional neighborhoods that have been around for centuries, and visit traditional cafes and shops that retain their original atmosphere from years ago.

This is a great option if you don’t have much time in Lisbon since most tours happen during the day. You can easily tack this tour on at the end of a day of sightseeing and still get dinner in at 9!

“The night tour was so much fun. Xavier our guide was such a lovely guy and really wanted us to have as much fun and see as much as possible. Neither of us had ridden electric bikes before but he explained it all and off we went! And the bikes were fab – you definitely need them for the hills in Lisbon. We loved seeing everything and hearing about the history of such a wonderful city. We stopped for lots of photo opportunities and had a picnic of fresh Portuguese strawberries (so tasty!) at the end whizzing through the shopping streets after the sun had gone down we really felt we had experienced another side to the city.” -ReviewerName (Read more reviews)

4. South Lisbon: 3-Hour Christ the King Electric Bike Tour

⭐️  RATING:  4.8/5 Stars | ⏳  TOUR LENGTH:   3 hours | 📍 Start: Martim Monis

I loved the convenience of my electric bike on this tour as my group explored the historic sights and monuments on the South Lisbon Electric Bike Tour. We biked down to Praça da Figueira, took in the Santa Justa Lift, and explored Praça do Comércio with its amazing waterfront views. I loved the group of people and really had a great afternoon!

We then, took a ferry across the Tagus River and saw Cais do Sodré from the water. We cycled through Cais do Ginjal to get closer to the Christ The King Statue and then headed up Boca do Vento lift to enjoy wonderful panoramic views of Lisbon and 25 April Bridge. I think this has been my favorite tour of the city because of the views!

After a quick coffee break in Casa da Cerca’s botanical gardens, we climbed all the way up to Sanctuary of Christ The King for a spectacular view of Lisbon. On our way back downhill I really enjoyed beautiful Almada’s narrow streets and the Medieval Museum was interesting, with relics from Islamic life in Portugal during Middle Ages.

The tour includes ferry tickets and the Medieval Museum entry tickets, and takes you back to Martim Monis where it begins. This is a great tour to do if you’d like to go on a bike ride but have already seen downtown Lisbon.

“This was an excellent way to see Almada. Seeing the Christ the King statue was really cool. We chose to pay the 6 Euros to go to the top and we felt it was worth it. We enjoyed riding around and learning about Almada equally as much. The eBikes were in excellent condition and it was very easy to get around, even uphill. Our guide was excellent too.” – Sandra (Read more reviews)

5. Taste the Flavor of Lisbon on an Electric Bike

⭐️  RATING:  5/5 Stars | ⏳  TOUR LENGTH:   4 hours | 📍 START: Eduardo 7 Park

Enjoy a tour of Lisbon’s flavors and sights on an electric bike. Get the best of both worlds by exploring the city while sampling the delicious local cuisine. Start your journey at one of Fernando Pessoa’s favorite coffee shops, where you’ll enjoy a cup of coffee with the same view as the famous Portuguese writer.

Afterwards, don’t miss out on the Belém custard pies, considered by many to be among the best treats in all of Lisbon. Ride over the hills and then try some traditional codfish pastries on your next stop, then enjoy a cold Portuguese beer as you admire all the amazing scenery along your journey.

Of course, you won’t want to miss out on a few more local delicacies such as “pastel de bacalhau”, bifana or Açorda. As you explore Alfama district, let yourself get lost in its maze and enjoy some wine with the locals.

This gastronomic adventure includes 5 stops with 5 tastings, 4 drinks and 1 meal, and gives you an authentic insight into Portuguese culture and cuisine that you won’t find anywhere else!

“Easy to book and mobile ticket use. Safe tour with helmets. Our guide Antonio (Toni) was fantastic – very friendly, knowledgable and a confident English speaker. We felt safe and in good hands on the busy streets of Lisbon. We visited well-known and little-known, local spots in Lisbon. Although Lisbon is a hilly city, the tour was made easy with the electric bikes. Food spots were typical of Lisbon and yum! We would definitely recommend this company (and especially Toni). Great value for an almost 5 hour tour!” -Louise (Read more reviews)

6. Lisbon: Boat Trip, Guided Walking Tour, Bike & Yellow Tram

⭐️  RATING:  4.8/5 Stars | ⏳  TOUR LENGTH:   5 hours |📍 START: Rossio

Explore Lisbon with an experienced guide that will show you the city’s hidden gems by walking, biking and boating! This tour is incredible because of the amount you get to see in such a short time. It’s also incredibly fun to switch between so many different types of transportation!

Start your journey at Rossio Square, where you’ll stroll up to restauradores and take a unique ride in the elevador da Gloria—Lisbon’s trams are unforgettable! After admiring the São Pedro de Alcântara viewpoint, you’ll walk over to the oldest Jesuit church in Lisbon and check out the ruins of Carmo convent.

Then your guide will walk to Alfama with you to see Lisbon’s Cathedral and head down to Praca do Comercio. Next, hop on a bike and pedal along the banks of the Tagus, cruise by MAAT art museum and on arriving in Belem, taste an iconic Pastel de Belem from the shop where they originated in 1837!

Then you’ll head to Belém tower, famous for its Manueline architectural style. To finish off your tour, get on board for a lovely boat cruise back to Lisbon’s centre and get off at Praca do Comercio. Please note that this tour is not suitable for children under 10.

“We had a fantastic guide, he was a great conversationalist and gave us a lot of insight into Lisbon and told us something of the history of Portugal which we are not familiar with. The mixture of walking, cycling and boat was welcome and allows us to cover a lot of ground. The highlight was the pastel de nata from the original bakery which was much needed after the walking and cycling – we should have asked for 2 each! – and Pedro managed to supply them without having to wait in the lines of eager customers. It was just the 4 of us as a family group which was lovely” -Jan (Read more reviews)

7. Lisbon ebike trip: Sintra Mountains to Cascais Sea

⭐️  RATING:  5/5 Stars | ⏳  TOUR LENGTH:   6 hours | 📍 START: Hotel pick up

This tour is perfect if you are staying in Lisbon and want to experience Sintra and Cascais from a different perspective. You’ll be picked up at your hotel and brought to the Cascais Market where you’ll start your bike ride.

Your guide will take you on easy trails from Cascais through the Sintra forest. You’ll get to enjoy the rural beauty of the region and the small villages along the way. Then you’ll wind your way up through the forests of Sintra up to the Peninha Sanctuary. The breathtaking panoramic views really make it worth the trip!

After that, the group will cruise down to Guincho beach where you’ll stop for lunch, and pedal back to Cascais where the tour will stop. The nice thing about this tour is that you can take a look around Cascais before taking the train back to downtown Lisbon. You’ll get to enjoying the lovely views along the coast for a few euros!

This is a great alternative to a private tour if you’re looking for a little adventure, especially since the e-bikes make it so easy! Remember that your return fare is not included, but that means you could potentially even spend the afternoon in Cascais before returning to your hotel.

“My husband and I toured with Rodrigo and it was honestly the highlight of our trip. We biked through Sintra-Cascais Natural Park and along the Cascais coastline with a lunch on the beach in between. The bike ride took us through magical looking trails and unbelievable views and sights that we wouldn’t have seen on our own. Rodrigo was an amazing guide and we cannot say enough about our experience. I will 100% suggest this tour to anyone going Portugal!” -Diana (Read more reviews)

Born and raised in Lisbon, this is the city we call home… and guiding bike tours for well over a decade we are not “learning the ropes”. In Cycling Lisbon , we know what we are doing and we have figured out what makes an excellent bike tour. At the same time, in Cycling Lisbon , we are always improving, making additions, and keeping it fresh!

10am Along the river and through the market

You will ride with us in this fantastic city while avoiding the overcrowded areas and the tuk-tuks..

While showing you the epicenter of the old town, tasting the local Ginjinha and interacting with true Lisboetas (Lisbon inhabitants), the Cycling Lisbon staff will show you the best places to eat in downtown Lisboa.

Obviously we wouldn´t let you just pass by and ignore one of Lisbon´s most renowned markets, an oriental-dome-topped hall, which is doing trade in fresh fruit and vegetables, native seafood and flowers since 1892.

Wheel over to the river and its fantastic bike lane where we will show you how this part of the city has played a main role throughout our history.

This relaxed 3 hour Cycling Lisbon route covers the historical center, the discoveries district of Belém and the river ride in between.

City of the senses 3 faces of Lisbon e-bike tour

Old city, the river and a cork forest.

On this tour we show you three different sides of Lisbon: the old city, the river side and the main – and biggest – park of our capital.

After rolling along the Baixa neighborhood nothing would contrast more than a river ride and crossing the main Forest Park of Lisbon

In this Cycling Lisbon Tour, we will spend 45 minutes cruising alongside the river, followed by a boost from our electric assisted bikes that will easily move us up the hill to the last Royal Palace.

From here we will cross the city´s largest green space – Monsanto Park – where you will learn why the cork trees are essential – it´s all about the wine… but not only.

Bring your camera because few tourists stumble upon these yet-to-be-discovered treasures. Just imagine yourself riding a bike in a cork forest… now that is a damn good screensaver!

Sintra Full Day e-bike tour: 5 to 6 hours

Sintra has got all the ingredients that make it a fantastic day trip destination: beautifully kept coast line, unesco forest woods, romantic architecture and small traditional villages..

After picking you up at your hotel in Lisbon we transfer to Cascais and hop on our beloved e-bikes. You’ll soon realize why the 5 km bike lane along the Atlântic has been chosen a few times to shoot ads.

Red, white and blue e-bike tour

Quiet scenic roads, the best market in the country, picnic with us.

If you are riding with us in Arrábida we could never let you go before eating like a local.

In this Cycling Lisbon Tour we will shop for our ingredients in one of the best markets in the world, sit by the crystal clear water of Galápos beach and enjoy our delicious pic-nic ocean, making sure you find what you like.

Reach new heights in the hills of Lisbon

The Hills of Lisbon E-Bike Tour will leave you feeling on top of the world! See the city’s most extraordinary vistas and sightseeing spots, including Alfama, the National Pantheon, Senhora do Monte Belvedere, Mouraria, Lisbon Cathedral, and Comércio Square. This guided day tour leads you on a lacing route through Lisbon’s narrowest streets unreachable by bus or car, with your electric bike taking the sweat out of the hike!

Arriving at Alfama, soak up the atmosphere of Lisbon’s authentic local markets and check out the fishmonger’s catch of the day. Pick up an authentic souvenir or ask your guide about the Sé District nearby – you’ll visit the commanding Lisbon Cathedral, the city’s iconic church, later in the tour!

Pedal on to the National Pantheon, also known as the Church of Santa Engrácia, to discover an awe-inspiring feat of Mannerist and Baroque Revival architecture glistening in the Lisbon sunshine. Built during the 17th century, this former church is the final resting place of some of Portugal’s most famous personalities, including former president Óscar Carmona, singer Amália Rodrigues, and footballer Eusébio.

Senhora Monte is nicknamed “The View Point” because it offers the most picture-perfect panoramic of Lisbon – unforgettable! Park up your e-bike, take a seat, and enjoy spectacular vistas of a truly memorable city.

Now it’s time to climb back down to earth, but not without some more stunning scenery along the way. As you ride down to Mouraria, you’ll quickly discover why it’s known as the “Lake District of Lisbon”! Your guide will elaborate on the stories and heritage that color the mournful tunes of the ‘Fado’, and the culture that makes Lisbon unlike anywhere else.

Your guided day tour continues on to the awe-inspiring Lisbon Cathedral, the oldest church in the city whose exquisite exterior resembles a towering fortress. From here, your e-bike tour reaches a fascinating finale at the Plaça do Comércio, Lisbon’s picture-perfect square facing the harbor and boasting buildings of incredible beauty, standing on the site of the former Royal Palace. Ending in Lisbon’s principal square, this is an e-bike tour that promises both hills and history!

Great way to see Lisbon Hills on an ebike

Guides were awesome, views spectacular, and if you like history this ride is for you. If you are not comfortable on a bike (or have never ridden an ebike) the cobble stone streets and tight traffic can be tricky but otherwise is was awesome.

World Bike Tour'23

The World Bike Tour is a cycling tour project, without competitive objectives and with the participation of thousands of people, promoting health, well-being, mobility and sustainability.

bike tour lisboa

  • Description

The "World Bike Tour Lisboa/Oeiras - 2023" is a family event that promotes health, well-being, mobility and sustainability.

This year, the event takes place on July 9 and once again connects Lisbon to Oeiras through a car-free riverside route and is broadcasted on RTP1 during the morning and afternoon.

The "WBT-Lisbon/Oeiras" returns with new and better models. At the end the participants will take home their bicycle and the complete kit: helmet, backpack, fanny pack, t-shirt and bidon, as well as other gifts from the sponsors.

In a country where more than half of the Portuguese are obese or overweight, the WBT promotes healthy habits for adults and children. The WHO (World Health Organization) recommends bicycle use and we promote soft mobility in the cities of Lisbon and Oeiras.

Sustainability is one of the main lines of action of the WBT because we want to leave a better world for the next generations. Therefore, together with our partners we have removed single-use plastic; we promote products that are recyclable and have less impact on the environment.

Inclusion is one of our major concerns. And because the disabled also have the right to practice sport and to their mobility, we donate adapted bicycles and offer registration to those who have their own means to participate.

This year's World Bike Tour - Lisbon/Oeiras will have more than 3 thousand people in a fun and non-competitive ride that starts at Praça do Comércio in Lisbon and ends at Praia da Torre in Oeiras (19 km long).
