Bikepacking de Oporto a Lisboa

Looking for an epic cycling adventure across Portugal? This route connects two iconic cities—Porto and Lisbon—offering you over 444 km of exploration, much of it along peaceful backroads and quiet cycleways. You'll start in Porto, famous for its stunning riverside views and delicious port wine, then ride south all the way to Portugal’s vibrant capital, Lisbon, known for its pastel-colored buildings and lively food scene.

The journey isn’t flat—you’ll rack up over 5,300 meters of climbing—but the scenery, from rolling hills to coastal stretches, keeps you motivated. Though most of your ride is on paved or asphalt roads (about 47%), expect a mix of surfaces, with some unpaved and gravel patches adding a bit of adventure. You’ll mostly avoid heavy traffic, enjoying the tranquility of rural Portugal, charming villages, and vineyard-studded landscapes along the way.

It’s a demanding ride but totally doable for anyone up for the challenge! When you finally roll into Lisbon, treat yourself to a pastel de nata—you’ve earned it.
