  • Experience the beauty of Portugal on this 5-day e-bike tour from Coimbra to Fátima. We’ll begin in the historic city of Coimbra, known for its vibrant culture and stunning architecture, before setting off through charming villages, ancient Roman ruins, and picturesque olive groves. With the ease of electric-assisted cycling, we’ll savor each moment of our journey, soaking in breathtaking landscapes and rich local heritage. Each day offers opportunities to connect with the region’s history. As we approach Fátima, the serene beauty of the Serra de Aire e Candeeiros awaits, making this tour the perfect blend of adventure, relaxation, and cultural immersion.

    • We begin our journey with a transfer from Lisbon to the historic city of Coimbra. After checking in, we have time to settle into our hotel and explore the city at a relaxed pace. Coimbra’s rich academic and cultural heritage sets the tone for the days ahead, with its riverside setting, historic streets, and deep spiritual roots. The afternoon is ideal for a gentle orientation walk, enjoying nearby cafés or visiting landmarks close to the hotel before our first evening at leisure.

    • We leave Coimbra behind and ride into the peaceful countryside of central Portugal, following quiet roads through olive groves, villages, and rolling limestone hills. The route gradually leads us away from the Mondego River into more rural landscapes, with stops in Cernache and the Roman ruins of Conímbriga offering both cultural insight and rest along the way. As we approach the Serra de Sicó region, gentle but steady climbs bring rewarding views before descending into the welcoming town of Ansião, where we settle in for the night.

The rhythm of the day is calm and reflective, with gentle climbs opening onto wide countryside views. As Ourém appears on the horizon, crowned by its medieval castle, the route grows more dramatic. The final ascent to the castle walls is steep but deeply rewarding, offering sweeping views across the valley below. Within the ancient fortifications, history surrounds us as we arrive at our hotel set inside the medieval walls.

The ascent to the sanctuary plateau of Fátima unfolds gently, inviting moments of reflection before the landscape opens into the vast sanctuary grounds. Upon arrival, the atmosphere shifts noticeably, offering a sense of calm, purpose, and contemplation. We enjoy time to explore the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Fátima and the surrounding town at our own pace.
