Started the holiday in Lisbon with a great guided bike tour by Filipe de Palma.
Lisbon with its hills is not the ideal town for cycling but the tour starts on the top of the hill in Parque Eduardo and goes mainly downhill till reaching the Douro. From there it is along the river untill reaching Belem. So easy downhill ! :) The bikes that Filipe provides are in good shape and suited for the trip.
The 3 1/2 tour showed the heart of historical Lisbon, Praça Marquês do Pombal, Restauradores, Rossio, Praça da Figueira, Praça do Comércio and the Docas Area. After the Docas it is onto Belem where the tour ends. After that there went on to discover Belem and visited LX Factory area. ( http://www.lxfactory.com/EN/lxfactory )
Recommend this tour as i enjoyed it a lot and was a great start to discover Lisbon ! read more
