Outdoor Barcelona: Walks, Bike Routes and More

Autumn may be the best time of the year to discover Barcelona outdoors. Pleasant temperatures, clear skies and Mediterranean breezes create the perfect setting for enjoying walks, bike rides and outdoor activities that allow visitors to experience the city from a different perspective.

Enticing walks around Barcelona

If you’re staying at either of the hotels Barcelona Princess or the Negresco Princess, you’re just steps away from some of the best routes for exploring the city on foot.

From the iconic monumental waterfall in Ciutadella Park, to the Passeig de Gràcia, where modernist architecture will surprise you at every turn, the options are endless. For lovers of panoramic views, a climb up to the Carmel Bunkers is a must, and you’ll be rewarded with one of the best views of Barcelona.

Bike routes for all levels

Barcelona is a bike-friendly city with over 240 km of cycle lanes. The Ruta del Litoral (Coastal Route) connects Port Olímpic with the Fòrum and includes beaches and green areas, or, if you’re looking for something more challenging, Collserola Park offers nature trails that are ideal for mountain biking.

To plan your route, consult the official cycle lane map on the Barcelona City Council website.

Relaxing after your adventure

After a day of activities, what could be better than kicking back by the pool at the Hotel Barcelona Princess, or enjoying a dinner with views of the city skyline at the Hotel Negresco Princess…? Our spaces are specifically designed for combining sport, relaxation, and Mediterranean cuisine.

Experience Barcelona outdoors

Whether it’s hiking, cycling, or simply strolling along the seafront, Barcelona invites visitors to step out and experience the city’s unique energy.
