Additional Information

Barcelona’s cityscape is characterized by its Modernista architecture. An optimal method for exploring the significant Modernista structures is via bicycle.

On our Gaudí Bike Expedition, we escort you through numerous prime works of this renowned architect. We also showcase other milestone Modernista edifices, including Casa Amatller, Palau de la Musica, and Casa de les Punxes. Though crafted by lesser recognized architects, these edifices are exceptional in their uniqueness and integral to Modernism and Barcelona.

Groups are kept small, resulting in an intimate and friendly atmosphere. The bicycles provided are comfortable and user-friendly. Although not obligatory, helmets are suggested.

A great way to see Barcelona - 5 of us took the 3 hour bike ride around Barcelona and really enjoyed the experience. Our guide Giulio (I hope I've spelt it correctly?!) was excellent - passionate and informative about Barcelona - its sights, history and in particular the art and architecture. He also recommended things for us to do whilst staying in Barcelona which included a trip to swim at the Olympic Pool which was fantastic. The cycle was done at a leisurely pace but you do need to have your wits about you with people on electric bikes and scooters whizzing past you in the cycle lanes. A great way to see the city.
