DailyDay Ride · Up to 40 kmModerateFrom 60 € per person

This self-guided e-bike ride starts with a short ferry across the river to Cacilhas. You follow the riverbank, climb past residential areas to the Cristo Rei statue, for a great view of Lisbon and the 25th April Bridge.

From there the route descends toward the Atlantic. You can stop at the small fishing village of Cova do Vapor, or go straight to Caparica Beach. A second ferry from Trafaria gives you views of Belém and Lisbon, before riding back to the city centre along the waterfront bike lane.

Your Giant e-bike is yours for the full day, so there is no rush: enjoy the views, the beach and a long lunch.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the day work?

Start in Lisbon’s city centre, take the ferry to Cacilhas, ride to Cristo Rei and on to Caparica, then take the ferry from Trafaria to Belem and ride back along the waterfront. Plan time for the views, a beach stop, lunch and ferry back to Lisbon,

Can I choose my start time?

Yes, the tour is private, so you choose when to start. To make the most of the day, we suggest starting between 9:30 and 10:00.

Can I keep the bike all day?

Yes. The distance is only a guide: the bike is yours for the full day, so you can stop for lunch, visit places along the way and ride at your own pace.

Is the whole route on bike lanes?

No. Parts of the route, through the suburbs of the south bank, are on roads with traffic, not only bike lanes. The return along the waterfront is on a bike lane.

Do I need to plan around ferry times?

Yes. The tour includes two ferry crossings, and ferries run to a timetable, so keep ferry times in mind when planning your day and your start time. Timetables can change without notice, so please check the current times with the ferry operator and with our team before you go.

How does the navigation work?

After a short briefing, you follow the route on RideWithGPS. It shows route details and suggestions on where to stop and what to see, and it helps you get back on track if you take a wrong turn.
