Choose from several daily departure times and the option of a 2- or 3-hour tour, and then meet your bilingual guide and pick up your lightweight, silent electric bike in central Madrid. This eco-friendly vehicle can be operating by pedaling just like a regular bike, or you can get a battery-powered boost when needed to avoid fatigue.
Begin by cycling through Madrid’s historic Literature Quarter (Barrio de las Letras), the one-time home and haunt of celebrated Spanish writers like Cervantes and Lope de Vega. Travel along Calle del las Huertas, passing by the famous Prado Museum and the San Jerónimo el Real church, to reach the entrance to Retiro Park.
See for yourself why Retiro is considered among the most beautiful parks in Europe as you pedal along its broad, tree-lined avenues past monuments like the Crystal Palace, the Fallen Angel statue, and a serene lake. After soaking up the calming atmosphere and lovely landscaping, return to the departure point via a route that takes you past important Madrid landmarks like the Alcala Gate, Cibeles Palace, and the lively Puerta del Sol square.
