Giro veloce in bici da Ciutat Vella a Sant Martí

Pedal your way from the heart of Barcelona’s old town, Ciutat Vella, up to the vibrant neighborhood of Sant Martí. This 7.2 km route is a great way to get a taste of the city, starting among the winding medieval streets and historic plazas of Ciutat Vella—think Gothic cathedrals and the buzz of La Rambla.

Most of your ride follows dedicated cycleways and quiet streets, so it's both easy and safe, even if you’re fairly new to city cycling. You’ll gradually head north and a bit uphill (with a max elevation just over 51 meters—totally manageable!), cruising through neighborhoods full of local life, cool cafés, and street art.

As you roll into Sant Martí, notice how the vibe shifts to a more modern, beachy feel—the area is known for its tech hub, parks, and the sparkling Mediterranean Sea nearby. In just about 45 minutes, you’ll journey from old-world to new, all while soaking up Barcelona’s famously bike-friendly atmosphere.
