Sortie rapide à vélo de Vieille ville de Barcelone à Eixample

Cruise through the heart of Barcelona on this easygoing ride from Ciutat Vella to Eixample! You’ll set off in the city’s historic core—Ciutat Vella is famous for its labyrinthine medieval streets, bustling with markets, cafes, and a sense of old-world charm. The ride is a shade under 3 km and sticks mostly to quiet roads and cycleways, making it perfect for a stress-free spin.

You’ll gently climb about 45 meters as you leave the ancient alleyways behind and head north into the regular grid of Eixample. This district is a mecca for architecture geeks—think broad, tree-lined avenues and iconic modernista buildings like Casa Batlló and La Pedrera. Nearly all the route is smooth asphalt, so it’s kind on your tires and legs.

With so much to see and not too much traffic, it’s a brilliant way to soak in two of Barcelona’s coolest neighborhoods on wheels. Park the bike and grab some tapas at your destination—Eixample is packed with great spots.
