If you’re looking for an independent cycling vacation featuring warm Portuguese hospitality, this action-packed self-guided itinerary is it! Explore Portugal’s Silver Coast from Porto to Lisbon—pausing in authentic seaside villages to take a refreshing dip in the Atlantic’s azure waters, or savoring an included dinner showcasing delectable Portuguese cuisine. From the moment you meet your VBT Local Host for an orientation and bike-fitting session, you’ll be on your own timetable—cycling from inn to inn, arriving to find your luggage already waiting for you.

Tour Highlights
- Stay in diverse locales—from the spa town of Monte Real to a stylish eco-retreat near the tranquil shores of the Óbidos Lagoon.
- Cycle along the Silver Coast’s sandy beaches, framed by Atlantic waves, pine and cork forests, and peaceful rural landscapes.
- Visit Alcobaça’s Gothic monastery—a UNESCO World Heritage site founded in the 12th century by Portugal’s first king.
- Indulge in Portugal’s fresh seafood, tempting pastries, bold espresso, and excellent, affordable wines.
- Spend the night exploring the medieval walled town of Óbidos, long after the day-trippers have gone.
Absolutely epic trip! VBT Staff was great from the moment we booked the trip and throughout. Our accommodations were amazing in every city we rode into. Our luggage was always there before we were which was awesome. GPS app on the self-guided tour were perfect. We had perfect weather, which also really attributed to the amazing time we had.
