Seville: the cycling city of Andalusia

Looking for things to do in Seville? Rent a bike! Seville is a really nice city to cycle in and to cycling tours! This is because there are bike lanes almost everywhere plus there aren’t many hills in Seville. This is why, amongst the Sevillians, the bicycle is one of the most-used modes of transportation. Seville really is a bicycle paradise!

BIKE LANES

The Sevillians are still getting used to the two-wheelers going through the city, because the bicycles haven’t been in the city for long yet. In the last decade, Seville has made some progress though. As mentioned, the bike lanes have been separated from the pavements for the most part and also, there are many shops where you can easily rent some bikes to discover the cycling capital of Spain for yourself or join a guided tour through Seville!

SEVICI: PROVIDING BIKES FOR THE SEVILLIANS

When you visit Seville, you will most likely see some little bicycle stations where some red bicycles are stored. Those are called ‘Sevici’. Well, these bicycles are mostly used by the locals, and that is because you have to purchase at least an one-week pass while most people only stay in Seville for a couple of days.

WHY CHOOSE THE BICYCLE?

So, why would you choose the bicycle over the car or bus? Well, not only is the bicycle a wonderful and easy way to explore the city, but you are also supporting sustainable tourism! Furthermore, you will be able to visit places where it is impossible to go by bus or car, for example when you do a bike tour in Seville.

Also, when it’s hot here, as it tends to be here in Seville, the bicycle provides a cool breeze and it takes less effort than walking. What more could you ask for?
