Itinerary

With the help of electric power, embark on an unforgettable bike trip through the main highlights of the historical centre of Porto, a charming city considered a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Porto offers incredible experiences to its visitors, with charismatic locations, symbolic food and wine delicacies, public art, impressive lookouts over the Douro River and colourful neighbourhoods. Sumptuous monuments and historic landmarks confer the city an exceptional identity, and on an e-bike there is no need to worry about the hills, as the electrical assistance takes you everywhere effortlessly. Perfect for those who enjoy riding a bike through streets full of culture, the journey begins at the Porto Cathedral, the most important Catholic building in the city, with its imposing rose window beneath a long arch and two large towers, showcasing Gothic, Baroque and Renaissance styles. Continue to São Bento Railway Station, built on the site of the old monastery of Sao Bento de Avé-Maria, where gigantic hand-painted tile panels by Jorge Colaço adorn the atrium, and cycle along Aliados Avenue, the main avenue of Porto, known as the “living room” of the city where major events and celebrations take place.

The route then takes you to Gomes Teixeira Square, or Lions Square, a central hub for nightlife and academic traditions, before visiting Livraria Lello, one of the most beautiful bookstores in the world since its inauguration in 1906. Continue to Cândido dos Reis and Galerias Paris streets, lively at night and charming during the day with their shops and Art Nouveau architecture. Stroll through Cordoaria’s Garden, named after the rope-makers who once worked there, now dotted with sculptures since 1924, and visit the Clérigos Church and Tower, an iconic 18th-century monument offering a breathtaking panoramic view from its 75-meter height.

Discover Ribeira Square in one of the oldest neighbourhoods, also known as “Praça do Cubo,” near the historic street of Fonte Taurina and the “Casa do Infante,” believed to be the birthplace of Prince Henry the Navigator. Enjoy spectacular views of the Luís I Bridge, an iconic metal structure with two levels linking Porto to Gaia. Throughout the ride, explore picturesque streets of traditional neighbourhoods such as Ribeira and Miragaia, admire beautiful baroque churches, and find the best spots with front-row views over the bridge and the port-wine lodges. E-bikes offer a comfortable and efficient way to navigate the city's hills and discover its landmarks, offering a more inclusive and enjoyable experience.
