Situated on the seafront, it offers amazing views, a tranquil atmosphere and exquisite dining in its restaurant and bar.

Stage 5 - 41 km/25 mi

We've arranged a visit to two of Portugal's most iconic towns - Nazaré and Óbidos. In Nazaré, the country's most famous fishing village, you can immerse yourself in its rich traditions. The wooden boats with their high, curved prows date back to Phoenician times, while the fisherwomen, dressed in seven-layer skirts, wooden clogs and black headscarves, are a living link to the past. Then head to Óbidos, a walled medieval town. With its narrow, winding streets, whitewashed houses decorated with flowers and historic monuments, Óbidos is like stepping into a fairy tale. The locals have preserved every detail to celebrate Portugal's heritage. Your day will culminate in a historic 9th century castle where you'll enjoy a truly medieval experience, combining history with modern comforts and relaxing within the ancient walls of this romantic fortress.

After saying goodbye to Óbidos, leave your bikes behind and let us take you to Lisbon, the beating heart of Portugal. Soak up the city's rich history and architecture, from the iconic Jerónimos Monastery and Belém Tower to the narrow streets of Alfama, the oldest quarter. Climb to the top of Castelo de São Jorge for panoramic views of the city as it comes to life at sunset. Bairro Alto, once a working-class area, is now a bohemian centre with trendy restaurants, bars and traditional fado houses. Relax in luxurious comfort at a hotel located on Avenida da Liberdade, one of Lisbon's most elegant avenues, right in the heart of the city centre. Enjoy their indoor swimming pool and spa, perfect for unwinding.

At the end of your tour, we will arrange your transfer to the airport according to your flight schedule.
