Europe Bicycle Tours…

…have attracted enthusiasts not only from Europe but also from different parts of the world who are looking for a good dose of fun, excitement, thrill and adventure. As far as Bicycle tours are concerned, Portugal is undoubtedly the best country where you can get all that you want and experience a ride like you’ve never had before.

Europe’s West Coast with a culture-rich history

Portugal boasts of its abundant seafaring past which led to the very first discoveries of seaways to Brazil, China, Japan and India. Pedro Alvares Cabral and Vasco da Gama were only two of the popular captains that introduced spices to the European continent and made it more famous than ever. The world renowned epic verses of Luis Camões’s Lusiadas pay tribute to the golden age of discoveries of Portugal.

When you are in this place, history itself will greet you at each turn from the Moorish castles and palaces of the kings and queens to the different UNESCO World Heritage Sites. A visit to the capital of Portugal, Lisbon, will get you introduced to one of the oldest cities of Europe where you can indulge in a vibrant but utterly relaxed atmosphere of contemporary life that perfectly blends with the rich history of the past.

Enjoy life the portuguese way

The people of Portugal are known for enjoying and making the most out of life while taking great pride of their rich heritage. They showcase their humble nature through their genuine passion for the traditional folk festivals as well as Fado, that wonderful music that tells the story of longing and past love that will ignite those deep feelings in your heart even if the language is foreign to your ears.

The cuisine of the country also features the market wares’ abundance, including the freshly caught and modestly prepared seafood and fish coupled with the vegetables and fruits grown in the area. Fresh cheese and freshly baked bread is a staple with all meals, so you can get your stomach full before you go on with your Europe Bicycle tours.

Unique landscape waiting to be explored

On mainland Portugal, you will witness quaint villages, first class beach resorts and a stunning landscape composed of olive groves, globally acclaimed vineyards and lush mountains.

The Azores’ Portuguese islands are a paradise for nature lovers. They feature a rich nature perfect for those who are looking for tranquility and peace during their vacations. The islands are also perfect for Europe Bicycle tours and hiking, while the surrounding ocean provides opportunities for whale watching, deep sea fishing and sailing.

Refreshingly affordable and dubbed as the best kept secret of Europe, Portugal has great roads that are ideal for your Bicycle tours. Portugal Bicycle Tours can help you schedule the best trip of your life where you will get to take in all that Portugal has to offer while getting the dose of fun and adventure that you have been looking for.
