Porto to Lisbon Premium self-guided bike tour

This is a self-guided ride down the Portuguese coast from Porto to Lisbon, with the routes mapped out for you and private transfers handling the logistics. The focus here is comfort as much as cycling — you're staying in castle hotels, boutique properties and seaside luxury spots along the way, not hostels.

You start in Porto, tasting your way through its port wine and UNESCO old town, then follow the coast south through pine and eucalyptus scenery, calling at Aveiro's canals, the beaches of Figueira da Foz and Nazaré, and the walled medieval town of Óbidos. It ends in Lisbon.

Days are easy-paced and flexible, with fresh Atlantic seafood and good food a running theme rather than an afterthought.
