Portugal ticks a lot of boxes when it comes to leisure cycling holidays. A pleasant climate all year round, coupled with an impressive cycle path network designed to showcase the stunning Atlantic Coast. Add to this the chance to explore the historic and fascinating cities of Porto and Lisbon and it's no wonder more and more cyclists are choosing Portugal for their cycling holiday
A number of our cycling holidays in Portugal follow the country's stunning coastline. Discover wild, remote beaches and coves, washed by crashing Atlantic rollers. Overnight in sleepy fishing villages and historic towns.
Bookended by two iconic cities, the Silver Coast, between Porto and Lisbon, is probably the most popular stretch of coastline for leisure cyclists and we offer a number of options along this very popular route.
To the north, the scenic Portuguese Camino route leads cyclists from Porto, across the border into Spain and on to the pilgrims' town of Santiago de Compostela.
Further south, our relaxing, get-away-from-it-all route to Cape Vincent on the western tip of the Algarve is guaranteed to recharge the batteries.
Finally, another option is to leave the coast and spend a few days in the glorious Alentejo countryside, near Evora, in a charming ranch-style guesthouse. Daily rides into the surrounding countryside reveal cork-tree groves, vineyards, flowering meadows and medieval, hilltop towns
Our easy cycling holidays offer short daily rides on mostly level terrain. A typical day’s ride will take 2 – 3 hours at a leisurely pace and the remainder of the day will be free for you to explore further or simply relax. These rides are particularly recommended for newcomers to cycling holidays and for families.
Our leisurely cycle holidays will suit those who are reasonably fit through regular exercise of one kind or another – not necessarily cycling. On the whole, the terrain will be level but there may also be a few small hills to contend with along the way too. Daily rides will typically take around 3 – 4 hours to complete.
Our moderate cycle holidays are for regular cyclists, who are used to longer rides with regular climbs. A good level of fitness is needed and you can expect to be in the saddle for between 4 and 5 hours each day.
These holidays are for seasoned cyclists who cycle long distances regularly and who enjoy the thrill of long days in the saddle. There will undoubtedly be some challenging climbs along the way and you can expect to cover between 55 and 75 miles each day.
A very comfortable single-centre cycling holiday in Portugal, staying in a gorgeous Alentejan guesthouse that is set in its own peaceful grounds just outside the medieval walled town of Evora. Enjoy daily rides into the beautiful surrounding countryside. Charming villages, historic towns, olive groves, vineyards and lakes await. The daily routes can be tailored to meet your specific ability level.
