What to expect
You'll spend most of the 2.5 hours on a bike, moving at a conversational pace through distinct neighbourhoods. Expect to stop frequently—at the market to absorb its bustle, along the beach promenade, and at key viewpoints. The terrain is mostly flat, with paved paths dominating the route. Your guide will point out architectural details and explain how different eras left their mark. You'll see real working parts of the city, not just monuments behind barriers.
