Morning light hits the Tagus and the waterfront lane hums with tires — the city opens by pedal stroke. The Lisbon Waterfront Bike Tour starts beside the Praça do Comércio and follows mostly flat, dedicated bike paths west toward Belém, where the river widens and the Atlantic’s presence is announced in the salt air.
