You meet your guide on Passeig de Lluís Companys, city air carrying the faint salt of the nearby Mediterranean as bikes click into place. The ride peels away from the Arc de Triomf, threads through the leafy geometry of Ciutadella Park and slips into Gothic Quarter alleys where stone keeps the heat and stories.

Hydrate before and during the ride
Carry a refillable water bottle—the route has cafes but frequent stops help keep energy steady in the sun.
Watch city traffic and tram tracks
Stick to dedicated bike lanes where possible and cross tram tracks at a shallow angle to avoid slips.
Book major monument tickets ahead
Sagrada Família and Park Güell sell timed-entry tickets; reserve them in advance if you want to enter rather than view from outside.
Dress for short climbs
Wear breathable layers and closed‑toe shoes—short uphill stretches to Park Güell can be spiky if you’re stopping to photograph.
