Valencia Free Bike Tour

Valencia is one of the flattest, most bike-friendly cities in Spain, and this tour makes the most of it, riding the full length of the Turia Gardens — the nine-kilometer park built inside the dry bed of the river the city diverted after the 1957 flood. Starting near the historic center, the route rolls past bridges, sports courts and shaded pine groves that locals use every single day, all the way to the futuristic skyline of the City of Arts and Sciences.

Your guide sets a relaxed pace and stops often, explaining how a flood disaster turned into the green backbone of the city and pointing out landmarks you'd otherwise cycle straight past. It's an easy, breezy way to cover ground that would take hours on foot — no cycling experience required.
