In bici da Barcellona a Ciutat Vella

Hop on your bike and cruise from the heart of Barcelona down to the vibrant district of Ciutat Vella! This short and super accessible 4 km ride is perfect if you want to soak in city vibes while sticking to mostly smooth, safe cycleways (about 73% of your route). With gentle ups and downs (just 24 meters of climb, 47 meters descent), you’ll barely break a sweat.

You’ll start in bustling central Barcelona, close to iconic sights like Plaça de Catalunya, and head towards the city’s oldest neighborhood—Ciutat Vella, famous for its winding medieval streets, trendy tapas bars, and must-see spots like the Gothic Quarter and La Rambla. Most of the ride sticks to paved, asphalt surfaces, and you’ll glide through quiet roads and some “living streets” where pedestrians and bikes share the space.

This route is a great way to see Barcelona’s lively street life and beautiful buildings, all the way to where the city’s history began. Enjoy the ride!
