Lively Lisbon
Our Lisbon Bike Tour shows off the best sights of the Portuguese capital! Cycle and through history as we discover Lisbon during the Phoenician times, nearly 3000 years ago, and the present, modern city. In between, see and learn about the transformation of the city from the Romans to the Barbarians, the Moorish people, and the dynasties of Portuguese Royal families. We’ll also touch on Salazar’s dictatorship which impacted half of the 20th century and has undoubtedly shaped modern Lisbon.
