By bicycle from Lisbon to Moscavide e Portela

Hop on your bike in the heart of Lisbon and get ready for a fun ride northeast to Moscavide e Portela! This 14 km route takes you from the vibrant city center, packed with historic charm, out toward Lisbon's edge near the modern Parque das Nações area. You’ll climb and coast through just over 165 meters of ascent, but don’t worry—most of the route is paved and more than half follows dedicated cycle paths, making it relaxed and safe for cyclists.

Along the way, you’ll zoom past leafy boulevards, quiet backstreets, and maybe catch glimpses of Lisbon’s iconic yellow trams. As you reach Moscavide e Portela, you’ll notice the scene shift from old-world Lisbon to the area’s contemporary apartments and local cafés. Moscavide is a lively, growing neighborhood right next to the creative energy of Parque das Nações, home to Lisbon’s Oceanarium and sprawling waterfront.

It’s a perfect blend of classic Lisbon and modern life—so enjoy the ride and explore both sides of the city!
