Is Barcelona bike-friendly?<\/h2>\n
\"Barcelona

Barcelona is one of Europe’s best cities for cycling<\/p><\/div>\n

In the last years, Barcelona is consistently listed amoung the most bike-friendly cities in Europe<\/strong> \u2013 and in the world. Mild, sunny weather over 300 days a year, a multitude of beautiful places to see<\/a><\/strong> and numerous bike lanes makes the ride through Barcelona by bike an exciting experience!<\/p>\n

How many bike lanes are there in Barcelona?<\/h2>\n

Bike lanes along Barceloneta beach are among the most popular (photo courtesy Bike On Wood<\/a>)<\/p><\/div>\n

Barcelona has 308 km of bike lanes<\/strong>. 22.5% of the length of the street network has a bike lane (source: the city council of Barcelona).<\/p>\n

Separated bike lanes are located mostly adjacent to long streets outside of the heart of the Old Town. The city centre of Barcelona is famous for particularly narrow streets, so it\u2019s not comfortable to ride there, but you can easily get close enough and park the bike.<\/p>\n

Our tip: Bike lanes along the beaches of Barcelona are a real treat.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Is Barcelona hilly?<\/h2>\n

After a long ride<\/p><\/div>\n

Most of the municipal area of Barcelona (80%) is flat<\/strong>, so most bike lanes are really easy, with up to 2% slope<\/strong>. Pedalling won\u2019t get you tired. The sun may, though – it warm months, remember about the sunscreen!<\/p>\n

If you want to hit the slopes, head to Montjuic<\/strong> or the Passeig de les Aig\u00fces<\/strong> for more intense workout rewarded by beautiful views over the city.<\/p>\n

Where can I find a map with bike lanes in Barcelona?<\/h2>\n

Here<\/a><\/strong> is an official map of bike lanes from the city council – Ayuntament de Barcelona, updated every quarter, in a downloadable pdf version:<\/p>\n
