South Lisbon: 3-Hour Christ the King Electric Bike Tour

South Lisbon: 3-Hour Christ the King Electric Bike Tour

Explore southern Lisbon on this electric bike tour. Cross the Tagus River, and let your bike take the strain as you climb to the outstretched arms of Christ the King. Meet your group at Largo da Severa 7A for a safety briefing on how the bikes work. Then, bike to the large commercial square of Praça da Figueira, and learn about its mercantile past. Continue along Ruas dos Douradores, passing the site where the poet Fernando Pessoa got the inspiration for his book “Livro do Desassossego.” Admire the ironwork lift of the Santa Justa Elevator en route to Praça Comércio, Lisbon’s largest square. Next, discover the recent developments of Ribeira das Naus, the former shipyard area where many of the Portuguese ships that set sail to discover new worlds were built. Upon arrival at Cais do Sodré, take the orange cacilheiro (ferry) across the River Tagus. Once on the south bank, cycle through the Cais do Ginjal, a former warehouse that used to supply bait and ice to the cod fishing boats of the North Seas. Next, take the Boca do Vento lift to get closer to the statue of Christ the King, or cycle up the hill with no sweat on your electric bike! Enjoy magnificent views of Lisbon and the 25 of April Bridge. After a short coffee break in the botanic gardens of Casa da Cerca, climb to the top of the Sanctuary of Christ the King for the best view of the city. Bike back downhill towards the river, and explore the narrow streets of Almada. Visit the Medieval Museum to see relics of Islamic life in Portugal in the Middle Ages. Then, cross the river again to return to the meeting point and the end of the tour.

Our experience on the "South Lisbon: 3-Hour Christ the King Electric Bike Tour" was nothing short of fantastic! This tour offers an exhilarating mix of scenic views, historical insights, and modern convenience, making it a must-do activity for anyone visiting Lisbon. The electric bikes provided were in excellent condition and incredibly easy to use. The electric assist made the hilly terrain of Lisbon and the ride up to the Christ the King statue effortless, allowing us to focus on the beautiful surroundings rather than physical exertion. Our guide Daniel was friendly, engaging, and extremely knowledgeable about Lisbon's history and culture. Safety was clearly a priority. Helmets were provided, and our guide ensured that everyone was comfortable and confident with their bikes before setting off. Throughout the tour, the guide was attentive and supportive, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable ride for everyone.

very interesting visit which complemented the other visits that we made. The bikes allowed us to travel the south and go to Christ the King without effort. We discovered very nice places and tasted good cakes

We were very lucky to be the only ones on this tour today so had a guide all to ourselves. He was great and made our experience all the better. Highly recommend this tour.

With my two daughters, all 3 of us loved this visit. I highly recommend it!
