What does a cycling holiday in Portugal entail?
As for terrain, expect quiet, tarmac roads and the occasional dirt track with forgiving gradients. There will be the occasional slog involved but manageable, and the best thing about hills is that at some point you always get to ride down again.
Where to cycle in Portugal
Alentejo
Alentejo is glorious rural scenery, fields of undulating wheat dotted with ramshackle farmhouses, groves of olive and cork trees where shepherds find shade while tending their flocks, and vineyards bloom in one of the country’s premier wine destinations. This is one of Portugal’s most untouched landscapes where traditional ways of life go on much as they have for centuries. Itineraries offer a mix of coastal and countryside cycling, and some also dip into the neighbouring Algarve.Atlantic Coast
Typical Atlantic Coast routes travel down from Porto to Lisbon, though there are others that take you from the capital down to the Algarve through Setubal, Aljezur and Sagres. Daily distances range from 40 to 60km, and immerse you in wildly beautiful scenery of pine-scented forests, idyllic beaches (notably the prestigious resort of Figueria da Foz), fishing villages, conservation areas and historic towns such as Obidos.Algarve
Azores
Cycling holidays in the Azores focus on Terceira, one of the largest islands in the archipelago and known as the ‘Lilac Isle’. Although you’ll be riding predominantly quiet country lanes it can be quite hilly, so the Azores is best suited to more advanced and confident riders. If you don’t fancy spending the entirety of your holiday in the saddle then between the lush forests and a coastline dotted with volcanic features you have no end of options for swimming, wine tasting, whale watching and sea kayaking.Geres-Peneda National Park
Ideal for family cycling holidays, this national park in the northern Minho region of Portugal presents moderate challenge and a mild climate as you cycle around a simply jaw-dropping natural landscape, and some of the oldest ancestral villages in Portugal, some of which date back to the 16th century. It’s also very close to Porto, Portugal’s second city and home of port wine.Our top Portugal Holiday

Best time for cycling in Portugal


“The cycle takes you through rural areas of Portugal which are relatively untouched by tourism. Some of the accommodation was idyllic. It’s a great holiday if you are looking for a good mix of cycling as well as relaxing. Miles per day can be adjusted to suit, and aren’t overly long, the route itself isn’t overly taxing and the bikes...are comfortable with sufficient gearing to get up all the moderate climbs. Great holiday if you’re looking for a good mix of cycling, relaxing and sightseeing of some of Portugal’s untouched areas.” – Anne Nicholl on a self-guide cycling holiday in Portugal
