Explore the bucolic landscapes and heritage of Alcobaça on a guided electric bike tour combining nature, culture and local traditions. A full day to discover this emblematic region of central Portugal, accompanied by a passionate guide.

From the centre of Alcobaça, you start your adventure with an initial 2.5hrs loop through gravel paths and country lanes, in the heart of typical Portuguese countryside. After this first section, you'll be offered a break with water and snacks to recharge your batteries in a peaceful setting.

You then set off again for a second 3-hour cycle loop, punctuated by a few scenic stops. The route combines wide rural tracks and a few easy single trails, accessible to anyone in good physical condition.

In the middle of the day, you can enjoy a free lunch in a recommended local restaurant (lunch not included), or you can opt for your own picnic, as you prefer.

To round off a day full of discoveries, enjoy a guided tour of the famous Alcobaça monastery, a masterpiece of Cistercian architecture and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The tour lasts between 30 minutes and 1 hour.

Then it's just ten minutes or so on the bike to get back to the starting point and return your equipment.
