Jednodniowa wycieczka rowerowa z Pontinha do Moscavide e Portela

Roll out from Pontinha, near the metro stop and the old Quartel da Pontinha—famous as the command post of the Carnation Revolution in 1974. The route heads east across Lisbon’s suburban ridge lines on mostly dedicated cycleways (about 80%), with gentle ups and downs: roughly 200 m of climbing and a bit more descending as you drift toward the Tagus.

Expect mostly smooth pavement and asphalt, though a few stretches have unknown surface—nothing dramatic, just keep an eye out. It’s a comfortable 22 km spin, topping out just over 100 m before a steady glide toward the river.

You’ll finish in Moscavide e Portela, a parish next to Parque das Nações and within a whisper of Lisbon’s airport. Swing by the riverside promenades, grab a coffee, or detour to the Oceanário area for a cool‑down. Great as a relaxed city-to-river connector with plenty of protected lanes and urban scenery along the way.
