Gaudí By Bike
3hrs • Family Friendly • Local Guides • Easy
The Modernista architecture of Barcelona defines the city. And the best way to see all the important Modernista buildings is by bike.
On the Gaudí Bike Tour, we’ll take you to many of the maestro’s great masterpieces, as well as show you other landmark Modernista buildings such as Casa Amatller, Palau de la Musica, and Casa de les Punxes. Although designed by lesser known architects, these buildings are spectacular in their own right and essential to Modernism and Barcelona.
The Gaudi bike tour takes approx 3 hours, but there are lots of stops and plenty of time for photos as well as refreshments. Groups are small so its a friendly and intimate experience. The bikes are comfortable and easy to ride. Helmets are optional, but recommended. Kids seats are available.
Note: All bike tours are conducted in English, but we have guides that speak other languages. For a tour in Spanish, French, German or Dutch, please contact us directly.
