bike rental Coimbra

Discover Coimbra, Portugal's iconic university town, by renting a bike for an authentic and rewarding experience. Built into the hills above the Mondego River, the city's picturesque lanes and well-developed cycle paths make it ideal for exploring on two wheels. The University of Coimbra, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a must-see, with its spectacular Joanina Library and Baroque decor - easily accessible by bike from the city center. The Sé Velha, a 12th-century Romanesque cathedral, offers breathtaking views over the city and is a major stop on your cycling tour. The Botanical Garden, a veritable oasis of greenery, is ideal for a refreshing break between two visits. For your convenience, several types of bikes are available for hire: classic city bikes perfect for urban strolls, electric bikes recommended for climbs to the university and historic districts, and mountain bikes for the more adventurous wishing to explore the trails along the Mondego. Vintage bikes are particularly popular for their charm and their suitability for the city's historic atmosphere. A bike ride will allow you to discover the lively student cafés, traditional fado houses and numerous craft stores that make Coimbra so charming, while contributing to an eco-responsible exploration of this thousand-year-old university town.
