Join a cycling trip through Alentejo – Portugal's hidden gem and sometimes called the country's "Tuscany". Here you'll encounter a unique mix of history, culture and nature. The journey starts in the World Heritage city of Évora with its Roman temples and charming alleys. Then you cycle through white villages, olive groves, cork oak forests and rolling vineyards – with Lake Alqueva's glittering waters on the horizon. Along the way, exciting archaeological remains such as dolmens and menhirs (standing stones) also await. After the day's stages, you can relax at carefully selected accommodations, enjoy local delicacies and warm hospitality. A journey that combines cycling, culture and magnificent views – memories for life!
Tip: Extend the trip with an extra night in Lisbon at the end of the week and preferably travel during spring or autumn for the most beautiful climate.

6 Breakfasts included
Arrival in Lisbon and the rest of the day free to explore Lisbon with its narrow streets, squares and viewpoints over the mighty Tagus River. Lisbon is a cosmopolitan and colorful city. As you stroll through the old medieval quarters, you can feel the special "saudade" – a longing back to the times when sailing ships set off for distant continents, and which has made the city so beloved by travelers.
