    Cycling from Lisbon to Cascais & Estoril



    A chill bike trip between Lisbon and Cascais, crossing many beaches and villages .

    For those who don’t want to cycle, it’s just 1h by train from Lisbon.

      Olá Miguel, tudo bem contigo? I just found your channel and think it is very interesting! It is possible to travel with you through the videos along Portugal. Thank you!

      I'm still fairly new to Lisbon but have a roadbike here. Would you say the sidewalks are still manageable on thin tires? I would rather not be cycling on that busy piece of road.

      Great videos Miguel, Do you or anyone know if the cycle way is signed the whole way to Cascais ? I was on Google maps and it looked broken up at parts. Planning on riding it on Sunday.
      Many thanks

      I like this environment a lot and I cycle almost every day and have had an e-bike for years! I go to Spain (Cambrils) in September and ride a bicycle there by the sea.

      Have you ever been in Ursa beach with your bike? I looked at it on Google Maps and it's very far away! Incidentally, I'm from Switzerland!

      Aquela visão da praia de Caxias dá-me esperança. Quando era miúda, nos anos 80, as praias entre Algés e a Cruz Quebrada eram absolutamente nojentas. Não há mesmo outro modo de descrever. Antes da ETAR e das iniciativas para salvar esta área estava tudo cheio de lixo e água poluída. Ver a costa tão limpinha e a brilhar dá um quentinho no coração. Temos de continuar com esta vontade de reclamar o país de volta e deixar a natureza descansar.

      Oh, sweet memories! I grew up along those strands and beaches. Along the low cliffs of Oeiras, the flat and endless beaches of Cascais and the loamy docks of Lisbon. Never shall their memories be faded from my mind in my wanderings throughout the earth. The playful weekends, the dark nights of commute in school time, the idleness of the summer vacations with my parents still at work, walking and cycling those shores, let forgetfulness never conquer the images I possess of those days.

      Thanks so much for the video. I did this cycle yesterday and it was mainly cycling (or wide pedestrian track) up to Carcavelos (there is the odd obstacle which meant that I had to lift the bicycle which I could not fully understand?). After Carcavelos there is a long stretch that only has the possibilities of a narrow footpath or the road. The road – as pointed out – is a very busy motorway that I wouldn't reccommend cycling on. The footpath was not busy in March so it was not a problem to cycle on it but I am sure that in summer months that it gets very busy so cycling is not an option. Personally i would walk this section rather than use the road. To be honest, the least interesting part of the trip was after Carcavelos as I had already seen many beautiful beaches and coastline up to that point. I don't think that the whole path has changed much in 5 years which is a shame as it would be a great opportunity to develop the cycling lanes and connect it to the cycling lane along the coast after Cascais (which is a proper cycling lane by the way). I also don't understand why they don't limit the speed on the coast road and calm the traffic generally? All in all though a great cycle. I rented the bikes from Belem cycle who have a place on the coast near the power station. Enjoy it!
