1. Stop 1

   The tour begins with a briefing on how the bikes work, at Largo da Severa, Mouraria in central Lisbon. You’ll then head to Rossio station to catch the train for Sintra. During the train trip, you’ll have time to let your guide know if you’d like to visit some of the palaces along the way or if you just want to cycle.

2. Stop 2

   When you arrive in Sintra, you can visit the National Palace if you like. Most of your cycling tour takes place within the natural park of Sintra-Cascais.

3. Stop 3

   You’ll have the option of visiting Quinta da Regaleira, built between 1904 and 1910, and a place renowned for its symbolism, magic, and mystery.

4. Stop 4

   Shortly after you’ll pass by Seteais, a former 18th-century palace that is now a 5-star hotel.

5. Stop 5

   Continue your trip along roads flanked by majestic groves until you reach the entrance of Monserrate Park and Palace, one of the most beautiful creations in the Portuguese Romanticism style.

6. Stop 6

   Arrive at Colares, a place that’s well known for its vineyards.

   From here, you’ll have a panoramic view of the Espichel Cape and Arrábida, to the south, Carvoeiro Cape and the Berlengas, to the north, and the entire Sintra mountain to the north-east.
   
   Returning to the center of Sintra, you’ll cycle downhill and have one last look at Pena Palace, an important monument of the Portuguese Romanticism movement.
   
   You’ll be traveling with an informative and helpful guide, as passionate about beloved Sintra as about cycling.
