Seville by bike: the wider city at a gentle pace

Seville is flat, bright and criss-crossed by cycle lanes. A route linking monuments, river and parks that would be too far apart on foot.

Why by bike

The old town is best explored on foot, but Seville is much bigger than its alleys. Plaza de España, María Luisa Park, the Guadalquivir banks and Triana lie at distances that feel long when walking in the heat. By bike, these places link up naturally.

The city makes it easy: it is almost completely flat and in recent decades has filled with cycle lanes. Pedalling reveals something that is hard to see on foot: the scale of the Seville that opened up to the river, of the 1929 Exposition and of the great parks.

What you will discover

  1. The Seville of 1929

    Plaza de España and the pavilions of the Ibero-American Exposition make more sense as a whole, with María Luisa Park as their great garden backdrop.

  2. The river as an avenue

    The riverside promenades are among the best stretches to ride: the Torre del Oro, the bridges and Triana on the far bank tell the story of the port of the Indies.

  3. Parks and open spaces

    Shade, gardens and wide avenues: the bike lets you discover the green Seville many visitors miss, with rests in the shade between stops. Our guide to parks and gardens introduces it.
