About this tour
Pedal through Madrid's centre on a 3-hour guided cycle tour, hitting major sights like the Royal Palace, Almudena Cathedral, and the atmospheric lanes of La Latina and Barrio de Las Letras. Your guide shares stories and context about the city's neighbourhoods, revealing hidden corners most visitors miss. Choose a standard bike or e-bike depending on your preference. Best suited to those with reasonable fitness; families with very young children might prefer the flatter Parks and River route instead.

What to expect
You'll cover several kilometres through central Madrid's mix of grand plazas and narrow medieval lanes. Expect steady cycling with traffic on main streets, though your guide navigates quieter alternatives where possible. The pace allows time to stop and absorb each neighbourhood's character whilst your guide explains Madrid's history and architecture. Weather permitting (tours run rain or shine), bring a jacket and plan to spend three solid hours on the saddle. E-bikes take the physical strain out of any inclines.
