Sintra Cycling
The greatest shapes of Sintra!
The Sintra-Cascais Natural Park is an amazing location for cycling - a hidden gem just outside the capital of Portugal, Lisbon. Its unique vegetation, its micro-climate and the fact that it is so close to the ocean are some of the many reasons why you should explore Sintra. Sintra’s mountain range or locally the ‘Serra de Sintra’ covers about 16 km, from the UNESCO World Heritage town of Sintra to Cabo da Roca on the Atlantic Ocean. From tight single tracks to wide open dirt roads or even free ride stunts, Sintra has plenty to offer!
