From the Old Town to the City of Arts – Small Group Bike Tour

About this tour

Pedal through Valencia's most compelling neighbourhoods, from the winding lanes of the Old Town to the futuristic architecture of the City of Arts and Sciences. This two-hour guided ride keeps groups small (max 14 people) so you're not herded along, just guided by locals who know the stories behind the buildings. You'll cover genuine ground—past plazas, waterways, and landmarks—without the exhaustion of a full-day slog. Ideal for getting your bearings and working up an appetite on your first day.

What to expect

You'll meet your guide in the Old Town and head out on a steady two-hour loop, stopping occasionally to take in the sights and catch your breath. Expect a mix of quiet residential paths and busier arterial roads, all on well-maintained cycling infrastructure. The pace is conversational—not a race. You'll pass through neighbourhoods most visitors miss, then swing towards the futuristic structures of the City of Arts and Sciences before looping back. The guide strings anecdotes and local knowledge throughout, so you're learning as you ride.
