Barcelona Off the Beaten Track Bike Tour
Overview
See a different side of Barcelona, on this 3-hour bike ride off the beaten path.
Ride in small groups of just 12 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 neoclassical cemetery of Poblenou.
This activity is not about seeing the major sights and hearing facts you could read in a guidebook, it's about heading out on your bike to parts of the city that many locals don't even know about, in the company of a 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, and riding along Barceloneta beach.
All tours include a refreshment break to stop for pastries or tapas in a local bar.
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!
