The first moment you roll off the curb and into Alfama at night the city shifts: warm streetlights glaze the cobblestones and the Tagus seems to draw you toward the river. Electric motors hum beneath your seat as you glide up and down short, steep streets that would feel like climbs by day but become a soft, steady flow on an e-bike.

Check the minimum height
Bicycles are adult-sized and require a minimum height (about 1.35 m); confirm fit before the tour to ensure safe handling.
Bring a small light
While the tour runs after dark, narrow alleys can be dim—carry a headlamp or phone light for added visibility when walking bikes.
Wear grippy shoes
Cobblestones are uneven and can be slippery when damp; closed-toe shoes with good traction help with mounts, dismounts and short stair sections.
Keep to pedestrian pace in alleys
Respect pedestrians and local residents—ride slowly in tight sections and stop to let groups pass safely.
Helmet
Protective helmet is essential for night riding and required by many operators.
Headlamp or compact flashlight
Supplementary light helps when negotiating dim alleys and steps.
Closed-toe grippy shoes
Provide traction on cobbles and stability on short stair or curb transitions.
Light wind layer
Evenings near the Tagus can be cooler; a thin layer wards off river breezes.
