Discovering Seville on a bike is a different, quick, fun and safe way to do tourism. “Flat Seville”, as it is known, is equipped with more than 180 km of cycle lanes. Together with Valencia, it’s the city with the greatest number of cycle lanes, and you can explore it from one end to the other completely safely.
The possibilities we offer you below go from the historic centre of Seville to the Triana Quarter, including a visit to the Giralda, the Torre del Oro (Golden Bridge), the Plaza de Armas… but don’t run out of energy! You’ll also find recommendations for exclusive and trendy places so you can take a break.
Experience the Triana quarter!
If you only have a short time to discover Seville and you’ve already left your suitcases in Freeday’s storage facilities, it’s time to cycle to the Triana Quarter.
From Freeday, you arrive at the Quarter via the Cachorro bridge, unmistakeable because of its small awnings. To the right you’ll be able to see La Cartuja island and to the left the Triana Quarter. A classic quarter of Seville, located on the other side of the Guadalquivir.
Ceramics has been a very important element throughout the history of the city, so you’ll begin by exploring Alfarería street where you will see the old ceramic workshops. If you’re really interested, don’t miss the Ceramic Museum.
Old alleys and arches from the inquisition appear along the Nuestra Señora de la O Promenade, creating the great legends of the banks of the Guadalquivir. Nowadays it is where you can contemplate both the old city and the new one.
Finishing up you’ll find the Triana Bridge which is also known as the Isabel II bridge.
This bridge connects the Triana Quarter with Seville’s old quarter. There you’ll find the Triana Market, situated on the old ruins of San Jorge Castle. A very lively market adapted to its surroundings and the lifestyles of the present moment. There you can find fruit, vegetables, meat, fish, handmade products and typical conversations between neighbours; an authentic environment where the essence of Triana market remains despite the passing years and evolving ways of doing business. Here, you’ll find bars where you can have a drink.
Now, do you fancy something sweet? The Dulcería de Manu Jara (in Pureza street), just a few metres from Triana Market, is one of the “100 best in Spanish Gastronomy” chosen by Madrid Fusion. Pastries full of incredible flavours and textures.
One of the most typical streets of the Triana Quarter is Betis street from where you can observe the Torre del Oro (Golden Bridge), the Giralda bell tower, the Cathedral and the Maestranza Bull Ring from the other side of the river. Meanwhile, Pureza street is the heart of this neighbourhood. You can find buildings typical of Triana and the brotherhood of Esperanza de Triana, one of the best-loved icons of the city.
And now, let’s explore some more! San Jacinto street is a pedestrian street with regionalist style buildings from the 20th century, where Casa Mensaque is a must-see, with its Sevillian patio from 1990, as well as the Dominican Convent San Jacinto. Concluding at Plaza San Martín de Porres, we return to Freeday by Ronda de Triana street before returning to the Cachorro bridge.
