Lisbon Bike Tour to Alfama and Graça honorably approved by the E.T.

Lisbon is hilly, old (one of the oldest cities in the world) and… insanely beautiful. The city is not famous for being bike-friendly, since we have the intimidating number of 7 hills. Well, we went to Brazil in 1500 which was slightly more complicated than going on a tour to Alfama or Graça.

Our vintage and good-looking e-bikes will make this so much easier that you’ll start to believe that you are in great shape (which may not be entirely true).

Expert and super-friendly tour guides will take you through the most charming, colourful and traditional neighbourhoods, such as Alfama and Graça.

Please bear in mind that the harder the hill, the better the view.

TOUR HIGHLIGHTS

Alfama

Lisbon’s oldest neighbourhood and the most charming one, it’s considered the historic soul of Lisbon and its steep, cobblestoned lanes stand just as they were in medieval times. This area is best known for its fado houses and the great festivities of Lisbon which honors “Santo António” (St. Anthony) during the month of June, luring thousands of people into the streets. This neighbourhood resisted to the terrible earthquake of 1755 and this was one of the main reasons that contributed to the preservation of its authenticity. This charming area retains some of the Moorish atmosphere with its alleys, staircases and clothes drying on the windows.

Graça

On the highest of the seven hills, Graça is located next to the iconic São Jorge Castle and this area is famous for its two beautiful viewpoints: Senhora do Monte belvedere and Graça belvedere, also known as Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen viewpoint. During the 20th century this neighbourhood became a residential area for factory workers mainly. At that time this neighbourhood was characterized by its courtyards, traditional taverns and grocery stores, hosted popular festivities and the first public school was founded here (Voz do Operário) as well as the arrival of the iconic 28 tram.

Mouraria

The most multi-ethnic neighbourhood in the city. Here you can find flavors from all around the world, represented by countries such as China, India, Mozambique, Bangladesh, India, Pakistan among others. Once a marginal neighbourhood, Mouraria has benefited from an important investment and rehabilitation process that turned it into one of the most interesting places to visit in Lisbon.
