CYCLING ROUTES IN LISBON

Campo Grande to the Tagus River
This simple city tour covers many tourist spots in Lisbon along an easy route to follow, starting from the peaceful Mário Soares Garden in Campo Grande, following the main roads to the Praça do Comércio, near the Tagus River.
You will pass by Campo Pequeno, then the shops and cafés in the Saldanha area before turning southwest onto Fontes Pereira de Melo Avenue toward the Marquês de Pombal roundabout.
From there, you continue along Avenida da Liberdade southward. Then, you will pass through Praça Dom Pedro IV and proceed along Rua da Prata, until you reach the historic open space of Praça do Comércio with a view of the river.

Eduardo VII Park to Monsanto This route begins with an incredible view from the top of Eduardo VII Park, taking you to the so-called “lungs of the city” – the Monsanto Forest Park.
The Green Corridor was completed in 2017 and allows access to the forest area from the urban center via a 2.3 km bike lane.
Starting at the northwest point of Eduardo VII Park, you will cross a newly built wooden bridge and follow the path to the forest park. You can return the same way or explore further within the Monsanto area, which offers 42 km of bike lanes, making it an attractive spot for those who enjoy long cycling trips.
Note that some routes in Monsanto are recommended for mountain bikes. Also, the paths can sometimes be labyrinthine, so you may need a map to avoid getting lost.

Cais do Sodré to Algés
This was the first riverside bike lane, where cycling can be done in a relaxed manner, without much worry about cars. Just have the stamina to pedal, and the rest is simply about enjoying the view.
In addition, the riverside promenades with views are a must-see during a visit to the city of Lisbon, whether on bike or walking along certain parts.

Belém to Parque das Nações
In the opposite direction and over a longer distance, the riverside bike lane also extends to the eastern zone. It spans around sixteen kilometers of cyclable path, providing a very pleasant ride. At the starting point, you can take advantage of a cultural route in Belém, and upon reaching Parque das Nações, you will also discover several points of interest.

Vale da Montanha Urban Park
Inaugurated in 2018, the Vale da Montanha Urban Park includes bike lanes, playgrounds, and of course, a kiosk where you can have a drink before or after your ride.
It spans 11 hectares of green space, where you can exercise by bike in the fresh air and surrounded by trees.
This park is located to the west of Bela Vista station, near the Bela Vista Park. It’s about 5 km west of the Tagus River, so you can take a longer ride to the river.

Cascais to Guincho
A short train ride west of Lisbon will take you along the coast to Cascais, a beautiful and sophisticated city with beaches, which has a bike lane to the Guincho area, offering a breathtaking view and complete safety.
Cyclists have a 10 km path that leads to Guincho Beach (near the Sintra mountain range), and then back along the coast. During the summer, cycling is one of the most accessible ways to get to Guincho Beach, as public transportation is limited, as are parking spaces. To do this route, you can rent bikes for free in Cascais.
