Portugal bike holidays: Book your trip!

Sunshine, a relaxed lifestyle, stunning coastlines and beautiful beaches and lagoons: This is what Portugal is known for! How nice would it be to soak in the atmosphere of the country during a Portugal cycle tour? On your bike, you will discover the country located at the south-western tip of Europe in the best way possible. Close to nature and at your own pace, you can follow in the footsteps of ancient traders and sailors to whom Portugal had always played an important role. Its proximity to Africa and the Atlantic and Mediterranean coastline have made the country a crucial trading nation. Nowadays, vacationers from all around the world travel to Porto, Lisbon and traditional fishing villages, go surfing to make the most of the waves of the Atlantic Ocean and, most importantly, travel the country by bike!

Next to trading and seafaring, the Portuguese cultural heritage has a lot more to offer. Wine is not only a perfect match for a night out in Lisbon, it is also cultivated in many parts of the country. During some of our trips, you will pass traditional vineyards and will surely have the time to stay for a glass or two. Furthermore, the Portuguese culture is strongly influenced by oriental and Moorish traditions. Spices, cultural sights, architecture as well as art make these influences visible in the day-to-day-life. Take a stroll through the coastal towns of the Algarve and open up to the feel-good-vibes of the Portugal way of life. Depending on what you are looking for, you should choose a cycling holiday in Portugal that fits your expectations. Mountains and rural landscapes can be found in the center of the country whereas vibrant cities and the surfing spirit are often located in coastal areas.
