Paseo rápido en bici de Olival Basto a Lisboa

Kick off your ride in Olival Basto, a residential suburb just northeast of Lisbon, and cruise your way straight into the vibrant heart of Portugal’s capital! This 17 km journey isn’t just a commute—it’s practically a city-to-city mini adventure with just under 300 meters of climbing to keep your legs awake. Most of your ride is on quieter roads and dedicated cycleways, so it’s a good choice if you’re not keen on traffic.

Expect mostly paved and asphalt surfaces, though parts of the ride might feel a little rustic—about a quarter of the path is “missing” pavement or alternative surfaces, which could mean anything from smooth paths to more rugged patches. As you approach Lisbon, you’ll be able to soak in the views from Lisbon’s famous hills before descending toward the city center. Lisbon itself is a feast for the senses—with its iconic yellow trams, tiled facades, and fantastic cafés, it’s a worthy finish line for any ride!

So, bring your camera, some patience for a few bumpy bits, and get ready to roll from Olival Basto all the way to Lisbon’s lively center!
