Paseo rápido en bici de Moscavide e Portela a Lisboa

This cycling route takes you from Moscavide e Portela, a lively residential area just northeast of Lisbon, straight into the heart of Portugal’s bustling capital. Moscavide is known for its blend of modern and traditional vibes, with lots of local cafés and easy access to the big city.

The ride covers just over 12 km, which makes it a comfortable distance, whether you’re commuting or exploring. Most of the journey is on dedicated cycleways (about 70%), so you can relax and enjoy the views rather than battling traffic. You’ll also sample the city’s signature mix of paving surfaces—from smooth asphalt and concrete stretches to a little bit of classic Portuguese cobblestone.

There’s a gentle climb along the way, nothing too steep, and you’ll cruise past both residential neighborhoods and parks. The route drops you right into Lisbon’s historic center, famous for its grand plazas, the pastel colors of its buildings, and a breezy riverside. It’s a great way to arrive—fresh air, city energy, and plenty of sights to see as soon as you roll in!
