About this tour

This tour trades the usual walking pace for two wheels, letting you cover more ground whilst soaking in the city's neighbourhoods, squares, and street life at a leisurely clip. You'll get the lay of the land without the tourist-coach crowds.

What to expect
Your guide will lead you on a steady-paced loop through Madrid's main thoroughfares and squares, pointing out major buildings and historical context as you go. The route avoids the Royal Palace interior but you'll see it from the street. Expect a mix of parkland, busy avenues, and quieter neighbourhoods—typical Madrid cycling. You'll stop occasionally to take in views and catch your breath. The pace is gentle, designed for riders of any experience, so don't worry about keeping up with lycra-clad speedsters.
Good to know
Bring sunscreen and wear comfortable shoes. The city has bike lanes on many streets, though some sections share road space with traffic. Nearest metro stations offer easy access if you need to bail early. Book ahead if you're bringing an infant or very small child.
