Cycle along the Silver Coast

Embark on an unforgettable cycling journey starting from the historic city of Coimbra, meandering southward along Portugal’s enchanting Silver Coast, and concluding in the medieval town of Obidos. From there, your adventure continues to the lively capital of Lisbon, where three nights are included for you to soak up the city’s ancient allure.

Begin your exploration in Coimbra, home to the UNESCO-listed University, renowned for its breathtaking architecture and rich history. Stroll through its cobblestone streets and indulge in a dinner accompanied by a traditional fado show on the second night, immersing yourself in the city’s vibrant ambiance. Cycling alongside the Atlantic, you’ll traverse picturesque landscapes and charming villages, including the quaint fishing village of Nazare, where time seems to stand still amidst crashing waves and colourful boats. Discover hidden beaches, rugged cliffs, and awe-inspiring viewpoints that showcase Portugal’s stunning coastline.

Venture inland to explore the walled town of Obidos, with its maze of streets and white houses, perfect for leisurely strolls. Don’t miss the chance to sample the famous Ginjinha de Obidos, a sour brandy drink often served in small chocolate cups.

Conclude your adventure by travelling by train (not included) to Lisbon, where old-world charm blends seamlessly with modern sophistication. Wander through the winding streets of Alfama, admire the majestic beauty of the Belem Tower, and immerse yourself in the city’s vibrant cultural scene, from bustling markets to world-class museums. While in Lisbon, take the opportunity to visit nearby Sintra, the former summer retreat of Portuguese nobility, or Cascais, known for its beautiful promenade and historic mansions.

Please note: Cycling helmets are a legal requirement in Portugal for anyone using an e-bike.
