You will probably fly into Lisbon if you are spending time in Portugal. Lisbon is a great starting place for any trip to Portugal and it has the largest airport in Portugal. You can rent a bike to use in Lisbon or for further a field.
Cycling in Lisbon
Remember that Lisbon itself is very hilly and there are many cobbled stones in the city centre, and so it’s not the most ideal place for cycling. However, cycling along the river to Belem is a lovely ride and you can also cycle along the estuary in the modern side of town – Parque de Nacoes.
Cycling in Portugal
Many people also take bikes on the trains in Portugal (get it on the correct carriage and don’t block the door!) as there are beautiful cycle routes around the country in the Algarve, Alenjejo and North of Porto. Some people even cycle the full length of Portugal on the National Road 2.
