Barcelona is Spain’s second-largest city and the capital of Catalonia. It is a city with its own unique identity. Locals are proudly Catalonian first and Spanish second. With exquisite architecture, beautiful beaches, delicious cuisine and a festive atmosphere, there’s so much to enjoy.
Barcelona was home to 20th-century artist and architect, Antoni Gaudi, mastermind of the Sagrada Familia and other masterpieces dotted throughout the city. Narrow and winding alleyways of the Gothic Quarter draw visitors in with its old charm and historic museums.
The city successfully hosted the Summer Olympic Games in 1992, with the original stadiums still attracting large numbers of visitors to the area. Close by is the Palau Nacional, and up the hill is Montjuic Castle with famously beautiful views of the city and coastline.
Take one of the many Barcelona bike tours and see all of these amazing points of interest and many more. Barcelona is one of the most bicycle-friendly cities in Europe! There are miles of dedicated cycle lanes, only a few steep hills to navigate, and predominantly sunny weather.

Had a great tour with Stru. He was fun and knowledgeable and had a focus on safety as we cycled around the busy streets. We've been to Barcelona several times and found this one of the best tours we've taken. Thank you Stru!

Wonderful tour and guide! Leisurely pace so good for all ages. Would definitely recommend and take the tour in other cities where it is available!

Ebikes are very easy, and really fun. We could do distances and elevations that would be a challenge on bikes. For this extensive introduction to Barcelona, they were perfect. Great itinerary! Olga, our fun Russian guide did a great job presenting Barcelona to us. It didn’t start out as a private trip, we simply got lucky. Highly recommend this trip.

It was really fun!! My boyfriend and I truly enjoyed biking around Paris. Klook was also very accomodating for helping us change the date of the bike tour due to our flight delay to Paris. Only complain would be the canal ride in the end was very crowded but that’s not something that’s under Klook’s control.

Best city tour ever taken! This was by far one ☝️ f the best city tours I’ve been on. Our guide, Paz, was very personable & knowledgeable. The tour was quite comprehensive and Paz gave us a lot of information about the city over the three hours. We biked from the old gothic center to the beach and beyond. Highly recommend as an introduction to beautiful Barcelona.

Lots of fun! Scary at first, especially if you haven't ridden a bike for a long time. But the guide was superb, gave you a practise run around the Arc first, went through safety info etc. He made sure we were all happy before setting off. He took us to see so much amazing stuff and knew a lot about the city/Gaudi. Great tour.

Great snapshot of what the city has to offer! Thomas was an amazing tour guide! I don't even like history, but he kept me so engaged and interested in what he had to say that I was able to recite dates and names of prominent historical figures based on this tour alone! The architecture is amazing and the weather made it that much greater! The city is clean and definitely very biker friendly, so I highly recommend this tour on the first day of your stay to get a snapshot of what the beautiful city has to offer!
