"A2Z gave us a good bik­ing expe­ri­ence in Por­tu­gal on their rout Porto-​Lisboa! The tour was well orga­nized from A2Z’s side!"

Anton Gjør­ven | Nor­way

"We rode the Hybrid bikes from Porto to Óbidos with a2z travel in October. For the price you could not get a better tour. Breakfast, accommodation, bike rental,gps, panniers, cell phone and bike computers were all included. Most of the hotels and breakfasts were great and the bike route was very interesting along the ocean, through pine forests and fishing villages. The problems we had were dealt with promptly in particular assistance due to forest fires was outstanding! We would highly recommend this tour!"

Vivian Vandenhazel

"We enjoyed a self guided road bike tour from Porto to Obidos, into the direction of Lisbon with A2Z. Perfectly organized, on good Trek Carbon bikes we easily made 60 -100 km per day - because of the wind from the back and no mountains - spectacular views, comfortable hotels and very friendly support. Recommended!"

Daily Itinerary

Day 01
Arrival to Porto
The hilly city of Porto presents a mingle of styles and eras that will enchant you. Porto is renowned all over the world for its delicious fortified wine which is specific to the region and refers to grapes that have been cultivated and harvested on the designated banks of the Douro River valley and then transformed into this delicious nectar at one of the area’s many Port wine estates.
Overnight in Porto.
Day 02
Stage 1: Porto | Ovar (51 km | 31.7 mi)
Today you will ride along the Douro River until its mouth. Then you will head south along the coast, mostly on bike paths with beautiful sandy beaches on your right. During this ride, you'll have plenty of places to stop and enjoy a traditional Portuguese meal or to have a drink looking at the Atlantic Ocean!
At Espinho, you can continue on a cycling path along the pine tree forest to Furadouro beach, cycling the final 21 km.

Today's bike ride will take you along the Aveiro lagoon. On the beach of São Jacinto, you will cross by ferry to Barra Beach, located on the south side of the lagoon. You will then continue along the Ria de Aveiro and find the bike path that will take you to your hotel in the Mira Region.

Day 04
Stage 3: Mira Region | Figueira da Foz (55 km | 29.6 mi)
Today's bike ride will take you towards Figueira da Foz city. Figueira da Foz took its name from its situation at the mouth (Foz) of the River Mondego and it has developed into one of the main seaside resorts in the centre of Portugal.
This trip is full of dune systems covered in pine forest and you will have plenty of time to appreciate this lovely green scenery. You will cycle along the Atlantic Coast and up to the Serra da Boa Viagem, to appreciate the panoramic view from the Miradouro da Vela, from where you can see not only the city and the salt-pans of the River Mondego but, on clear days, as far as the Berlengas islands. The trip then descends to the lighthouse of Cape Mondego.
Overnight in Figueira da Foz.
Day 05
Stage 4: Figueira da Foz | São Pedro de Moel (65 km | 41 mi)
Today´s ride will start by crossing the bridge over the Mondego River until you arrive near Carriço and head into a cycling path that leads you through the Pinhal de Leiria, a pine tree forest which was planted by King D. Dinis in the 14th century, to provide timber to build ships.
You will pass small beaches along the cycle path that crosses this immense pine forest. Beaches like Praia do Pedrogão, da Praia da Vieira and Praia de São Pedro de Moel are like oases in this countryside of pine forest covered dunes.
São Pedro de Moel has a large beach and it is sheltered from the wind, being ideal for sports, namely windsurfing and diving.
