Belém by E-Bike: Lisbon's Riverside & the Age of Discoveries

You'll set off from Commerce Square, tracing the Tagus River on flat, easy paths, gliding beneath the 25 de Abril Bridge and stopping at Cais das Colunas, the marble-stepped pier where Portuguese royalty once arrived by boat. From there, Lisbon's modern side appears at MAAT, a striking riverside museum of art and architecture — before the journey rewinds several centuries at the Jerónimos Monastery, a UNESCO World Heritage Site built to honour Portugal's Age of Discoveries. The ride culminates at Belém Tower, the fortress that once guarded Lisbon's harbour and now stands as one of the city's most photographed landmarks. And no trip to Belém is complete without the original Pastel de Nata — you'll get one warm from the bakery that's been making them the same way since the 1800s. With flat paths, electric assistance, and a guide sharing the stories behind every stop, this is Lisbon's easiest and most rewarding ride.
