Overview

See a different side of Barcelona, on this 4-hour bike ride off the beaten path. Ride in small groups of just 8 people max. (plus guide), and feel a closer connection to the city. Discover obscure but beautiful attractions such as the Hospital de Sant Pau, and the amazing neoclassical cemetery of Poblenou. This activity is not about seeing the major sights and hearing facts you could read in a guidebook, it's all about heading out on your bike to parts of the city that many locals don't even know about, in the company of a knowledgeable and passionate guide! No two tours are the same, but some of the cool experiences that await you include visiting a flea market, learning about Barcelona's art nouveau and modern architecture, admiring street art, stopping for pastries and tapas in a local bar, and riding along Barceloneta beach. Our small group ethos means that, unlike standard bike tours of the city, you’ll not only be learning about Barcelona, you’ll be living it too!

Itinerary

  • Basilica de Santa Maria del Mar

    On most tours we pass by this sensational Gothic masterpiece and admire the rose-window façade, before exploring the rest of El Born.

    10 minutes

  • El Born

    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 minutes

  • Parc de la Ciutadella

    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 minutes

  • Torre Glories

    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 minutes

  • Los Encantes Barcelona

    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 minutes

  • El Poblenou

    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.

    45 minutes

  • Port Olimpic

    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.

    15 minutes

  • Playa de La Barceloneta

    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.

    30 minutes

Nice bikes, nice guide,...

Published on Jan, 2025

Nice bikes, nice guide, nice tour, nice food, and nice weather. A perfect day in Barcelona, and we enjoyed the experience very much.

Fun Overview of the City

Published on Jan, 2025

Alejandra took us on our tour of Barcelona and we had a blast! Her English was great and she shared some very interesting facts about the city. It was such a fun way to get a feel for the city and see some off track areas. We highly recommend this to anyone visiting.

Fun way to see the streets of Barcelona and meet new people

Published on Dec, 2024

Agustin, our guide, was very kind and patient. He did a great job explaining what we were going to do and provided interesting local history and commentary, even for our 9 and 13 year old. Good overview of the old city and super fun! The bikes were nice and comfortable.

Exploring Barcelona on Bke is the Way to Go!

Published on Dec, 2024

Had a fantastic morning seeing parts of the city we would not have seen on a regular tour. Claudia was great - she kept a nice pace and offered wonderful insight into history, architecture and culture. The city is quite hilly, but at no point did I feel like we climbed any major hills. Such a great route! My 19 year old daughter and 5 year old niece joined us (the 5 year old on the back of an ebike), and they enjoyed the tour just as much as we did. Highly recommend this tour!

Action-packed tour

Published on Dec, 2024

What an incredible tour! We had a great time with Ale. She showed us so much of the city and shared some great stories. I highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants to see Barcelona and learn more a out Catalonian culture.
