Detailed description

Experience sightseeing in Lisbon on innovative bikes

With three different city tours you can get to know the great facets of the city by visiting Lisbon. You can explore the various districts of the city in a comfortable way: You sit on a Segway-like chassis, which will bring you to the different points of the tour in a practical and fun way. This device is a mixture between Segway and electric bike, but much easier and more comfortable. You can comfortably roll through the quarters of Lisbon with local guides. Sightseeing in Lisbon on the innovative bikes you can participate in a small group, with family and friends or even in a large group of up to 50 people. This innovative city tour through Lisbon offers you three wonderful alternatives:

The Belém Tour: Sightseeing in Lisbon through the historic Belém district, you will pass through two World Heritage Sites: the famous Tower of the Tajo River and the Jerónimo Monastery. These monuments are lavishly decorated in stone and embellished with motifs of exotic lands, as well as the heroes of the epoch on the colossal "Padrão Descobrimentos" monument (Monument of Discoveries). This is also the museum district of Lisbon, with its unique carriage museum filled with royal fairytale vehicles. The Berardo Museum displays a world-class collection of international contemporary and modern art as well as the icon MAAT. Despite all these attractions, it is a confectionery that fascinates most visitors: At the Antiga Confeitaria de Belém (simplely known as "Pastéis de Belém" or "Belém biscuits") you can taste Lisbon's famous creme tartlets.

2nd Tour of the Old Town: The picturesque, oldest quarter of Lisbon, Alfama, stretches over the south-eastern slope of the hill crowned by Castelo de São Jorge and consists of a maze of narrow lanes and steep staircases. Next to the castle there are several historic 17th century churches and the city's impressive cathedral. A number of excellent museums provide cultural diversity, and here is the largest flea market in Lisbon. Some of the best views in Lisbon are from high places such as the Miradouro Largo, the Portas do Sol - once the gateway to the Old Town. Alfama wakes up at night when some of the city's most authentic cafés and restaurants open their doors to serve delicious traditional cuisine. The neighborhood also hosts traditional fado houses, where this unique Portuguese musical expression can be enjoyed in a rustic and romantic setting.

  •     Alfama.

  •     Se de Lisboa

  •     São Jorge Castle

The Parque das Nações Tour shows you the modernity of Lisbon: the former eastern area was once an industrial area. Ever since Expo 98 took place there, it has been a futuristic world. You will see examples of modern architecture, such as the station "Oriente", a landmark with the signature of Santiago Calatrava. The architect Alvaro Siza Vieira, awarded the Pritzker Prize, is the man behind the fantastic Pavilhão de Portugal, known for his remarkable undulating roof. Everywhere you turn is a view of the river that looks like an ocean, crossed by Europe's longest bridge. Discover the avant-garde side of Lisbon in contrast to its historic old town.

Ok

We really liked the tour and the city. The streets in the old town are a bit small and sometimes too crowded to really enjoy, though.

Nice change

Better than walking everything. It was fun and the explanations from our guide were good and entertaining.

Nette Abwechslung

Besser als alles zu Fuß zu erlaufen. Hat Spaß gemacht und die Erklärungen unseres Guides waren gut und unterhaltsam.
