By bicycle from Eixample to Sant Martí

This is an easy urban ride from the vibrant Eixample district to the modern Sant Martí area in Barcelona—about 5.2 km, all on well-paved cycleways, so it’s perfect for riders of any level. You’ll start in Eixample, famous for its iconic grid layout and Gaudí’s architectural masterpieces like Casa Batlló and La Pedrera. The roads here are mostly flat with some gentle ascent (just 24 meters up, so nothing too taxing).

As you pedal northeast, you’ll cruise along smooth asphalt through quieter side streets, giving you a relaxed urban vibe. Nearly the whole way is on proper bike paths, keeping the ride chill and safe. Before you know it, you’ll roll into Sant Martí—a district known for its innovative design, tech hubs, and proximity to Barcelona’s beaches. If you have time, check out the contemporary Parc del Centre del Poblenou or head to the Mediterranean coast for a sea breeze. It’s a straightforward route, ideal for commuting or a relaxed city exploration!
