Itinerary

Port Olimpic Stop 1
Built for the 1992 Olympic Games, this shining white marina transformed Barcelona's coast and is full of bars, clubs and modern sculptures... like Frank Gehry's golden fish. Renovated in 2024, it's a stunning place to start and end our tours.
15 min
El Poblenou Stop 2
This former industrial district is full of treasures, such as modern parks, neoclassical cemeteries, street art, "superblocks", and dazzling new architectural projects. Its quieter than the centre and ideal for cycling around. Most of our tours pass by this district.
45 min
Torre Glories Stop 3
This phallic-shaped wonder is one of the most iconic buildings in Barcelona. We marvel at its multi-hued exterior and discuss the modernisation of the city.
10 min
Los Encantes Barcelona Stop 4
We often stop off at this charming old flea market and shop for kitsch souvenirs, or stop for a snack. The entire area has been revitalised in recent years.
30 min
Parc de la Ciutadella Stop 5
This gorgeous park is named after the citadel that once sat here. We explore its many points of interest, including a fountain partially-designed by Gaudi, and get some oxygen in our lungs.
20 min
El Born Stop 6
We love to show travellers the hidden back streets of the Born district, full of secrets, boutiques, artisan shops and cosy cafes.... the central 'square' used to be a medieval jousting ground!
30 min
Basilica de Santa Maria del Mar Stop 7
On most tours we pass by this sensational Gothic masterpiece and admire the rose-window façade, before exploring the rest of El Born.
10 min
Playa de La Barceloneta Stop 8
No cycle ride in Barcelona is complete without a ride along the beach. We normally reserve this route for the way home, enjoying the sun on our faces and the carnival atmosphere of this crazy playa.
