Szybka przejażdżka rowerowa z Lizbona do Olival Basto

This ride takes you from the heart of vibrant Lisbon all the way north to Olival Basto, a quieter suburb just outside the city’s hustle. Starting near Lisbon’s iconic neighborhoods (think tiled facades and tram tracks!), you’ll wind north over 13.7 km of mostly paved surfaces. About half your journey’s on peaceful side roads, and there’s a solid stretch of cycleway, so it’s a comfortable mix for most riders.

Expect a bit of an up-and-down profile—keep an eye out for nearly 250 meters of climbing, with a few speedy descents to balance it out. Some sections may throw in a classic touch of cobblestone (the true Lisbon experience), but it’s mostly smooth sailing.

Olival Basto is a great place to catch your breath—known for its relaxed neighborhoods and parks like Parque do Monteiro-Mor. Whether you’re commuting or exploring, this route is a pleasant snapshot of city-to-suburb cycling in the Lisbon area.
