Lisbon: The Riverside E-Bike Tour to Belém

About this experience

Leave Lisbon’s steep hills behind and reclaim the joy of sightseeing! Our electric bike tour offers the perfect blend of iconic history, panoramic views, and effortless riding. While other tourists struggle with the city's famous inclines or get stuck in crowded buses, you’ll be gliding peacefully along the scenic Tagus River on our top-tier e-bikes.

We’ve carefully designed a route that is 100% flat and safe, utilizing riverside bike paths far from the city noise. You’ll enjoy a front-row seat to the 25 de Abril Bridge and the lively docks, feeling the Atlantic breeze as the e-bike does all the hard work for you. It’s the ideal choice for families, groups, and beginners.

A strategic stop for the original "Pastéis de Belém"—the world-famous, authentic custard tarts. We believe history should be tasted, not just seen! From the UNESCO-listed Jerónimos Monastery to the Tower of Belém, we bring Portugal’s maritime golden age to life in a fun, sustainable, and delicious way.

Itinerary and highlights

Glide off towards the renovated Ribeira Market, where you will find an abundance of traditional stalls selling fish, fruit, vegetables, and flowers. A separate area features more than 30 restaurants where you can taste food recommended by highly regarded chefs.

Next, bike down the former red-light district of the Rua Nova de Carvalho (also known as “Pink Street”), famous for its animated nightlife, and recently named by the New York Times as one of the best streets in Europe.

Pass the Cais do Sodré area, a hub of maritime activities since the 15th century and now the ferry terminal for the "cacilheiros" boats that connect Lisbon and Cacilhas. Cycle alongside the River Tagus to the Torre Belém, and feast your eyes on the 25th of April Bridge, a symbol of the 25th of April Revolution that put an end to 41 years of dictatorship.

Continue past the former thermoelectric plant that is now home to the Electricity Museum, and admire one of the best examples of Industrial architecture in Lisbon.

Next, go to the Monument of the Discoveries, built in 1940 for the Exhibition of the Portuguese World.

Admire the depictions of Portugal’s “Age of Discoveries,” before looking at the 16th-century fortifications of the Torre Belém, part of a defensive system that protected Lisbon from pirates.

Enjoy a quiet coffee break away from the tourist traps, before cycling to the 16th-century Monastery of Saint Jerome, one of the finest example of Manueline style architecture in the city.

Taste one of the famous Belém custard tartlets in the magnificent gardens.
