Lisbon is a dream destination for foodies! Parts of the town will always be surprisingly hilly, however. Some of these streets have tram lines, potholes and an absence of designated bicycle lanes, so if you plan to cycle, you should be used to urban riding. Car drivers are now more often weekend cyclists and careful with cyclists, more than before. Riding on the footpaths is not recommended. Get advice at local bikeshops. There are nice and safe stretches from Baixa to Belem along the beautiful river Tejo water front known as the Poetry Bike Lane. Good spots for anyone to cycle safe are along the flat riverfront area streching from Parque das Nacoes, to the central area of Cais Sodre, where you can rent bikes. Just outside of Lisbon, you can take a free bike but often in poor condition and limited offer on trains or ferries along the coast from Estoril towards the beautiful beach of Guincho, reach Sintra , Cascais or Costa da Caparica.

    Nádia Cristina da Costa Lopes Nº 47862 Summary This project has as its main goal the influence of physical planning in urban morphology, contributing to an analysis of urban form in the municipality of Lisbon. This is achieved resorting to an analysis of cartography produced with McHarg Method in 1:10000 scale and planimetry of the area. It should be noted that through cartographic overlaying we define the Ecological Aptitude for Construction which is thus obtained from a range of physiographic factors like relief, hidrography and solar exposure. Terrain morphology as an indicator of the spatialization of ecological processes in the territory is also implicitly introduced in the definition of Ecological Aptitude for Construction. According to Ian McHarg (1969) the concept of Ecological Aptitude expresses different potentials that certain landscape zones with different ecological behaviour can offer in terms of the implantation of human activities. Territorial aptitude as can be ascertained from human activities occupation criteria allows the operationalization of ecologically-based planning and the rationalization of the land occupation process. In an urban environment, where it is most urgent to preserve the ecological functionality of the landscape, aptitude can make a significant contribution to the task of locating the urban ecological structure and the built areas. The methodology used to define Ecological Aptitude for Construction, as previously said, is based in the McHarg Method applied to the use of built-up land. This method consists in the representation of the study area using thematic cartography and its classification using different colour shadings in terms of the constraints or benefits that natural values represent in terms of building potential.

However, many urban areas have preserved quite interesting examples of geoheritage. Urban geoheritage can and must be known and promoted, by setting up geotourism routes for national and foreign visitors. The value that these geotourism routes add to the common tourist guides may represent a precious asset to a segment of tourists increasingly interested on the integration of natural heritage and other types of heritage, and may contribute to the growth of national tourism industry. In this paper the basic conceptualization it will best set and applied to Lisbon Metropolitan Area and, as a still preliminary approach, to the Lisbon city itself.
