South Bank & Cristo Rei E-Bike Tour
Did you know that Lisbon is even more beautiful when seen from across the river? Experience the capital from a completely different perspective, from the river level up to the 133-meter-high Sanctuary of Christ the King.
The Experience
Our adventure begins with a crossing of the Tagus on the "Cacilheiro", Lisbon’s iconic orange ferry. Once on the South Bank, we glide along the riverbank on our E-bikes, surrounded by silence and tranquility. Although the Sanctuary stands high above us, our powerful electric bikes make the climb feel like a breeze.
