Details

Lisboa, Portugal’s vibrant capital, is a city where old-world charm meets dynamic urban life against a backdrop of rolling hills and coastal views. Scooteria offers a unique way to engage with this striking landscape far beyond the usual city streets: through the visceral experience of riding a powerful motorcycle tailored for long journeys. Located in the heart of Lisboa, Scooteria’s signature trip, '8 Dias,' is a multi-day adventure that blends the precision of manual shifting with the untamed thrill of open-road riding.

This is not just cruising; it’s a purposeful engagement with Portugal’s diverse geography. From the winding roads along the Atlantic coast to the rugged terrain stretching inland towards Sintra’s dramatic cliffs, riders navigate a variety of surfaces that call for both skill and attentiveness. The motorcycles offered by Scooteria are specifically designed to handle these challenges, enabling riders to feel fully connected to their machine and the landscape—whether accelerating through coastal wind or managing technical curves in wooded hills.

Lisboa’s surrounding region also breathes history and culture at every turn. Route options often wind past centuries-old castles, Moorish fortresses, and quaint fishing villages where local life pulses quietly. This blend of natural and cultural richness makes Scooteria a standout for visitors seeking an authentic connection to Portugal beyond typical sightseeing.

Riders who value control and freedom will find the experience at Scooteria unlike any standard motorbike tour. It focuses on skill, enjoyment, and discovery over mere travel, setting it apart in a city more known for trams than two-wheeled horsepower. Whether you are refining your riding technique or simply craving an adrenaline-infused way to see Lisboa’s outskirts, the 8 Dias tour offers an unparalleled way to meet the road head-on.
