Ride from Porto to Lisbon on our one-week cycling holiday in Portugal. Discover the sweeping beaches and natural beauty of central Portugal as we pedal up the Douro Valley. Take a bike path to the university town of Coimbra and then hop on a train to picturesque Aveiro. Finally, spend three days alongside the Atlantic Ocean, sampling local wines and the catch of the day. Coastal cycling - Soak in panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean as you ride rural routes between some of Portugal's lesser-visited gems. Porto and Lisbon - Explore the cobbled streets, elegant architecture and sprawling viewpoints in Portugal's two finest cities. Local cuisine - Refuel with authentic Portuguese dishes from fresh seafood to grilled sardines and sumptuously sweet pastel de nata.
