Valencia Old Town Bike Tour

The city of Valencia has a unique historic city center with more than 2,000 years of history to discover. This is really a long time, and yes, a lot of things happened during those 2,000 years! Many different influences are still visible in the beautiful center of Valencia and we will enjoy the magic of the city on this very special Valencia city bikes tour.

The founders of this special place were the Romans, who settled Valencia in 138 BC. They named the place “Valentia” which means vigor. When we bike Valencia through the narrow streets of the city, you will agree that there couldn’t be a better name for this energetic and vital city! It pulsates with life and vitality, people love to eat and drink outside and enjoy the spectacular views of this very historic place on earth, surrounded by buildings that have seen a great deal of history in their lives.

While the Romans reigned, the city was only a fraction of what it is now, but we can still admire some villas on our Valencia cycles tour, which were formerly housed by the Roman nobility.

The Visigoths followed the Romans and after them came the Moors. They added their culture to the city; their artistic influences and their cuisine are still tangible in the old town of Valencia. In 1238, King Jaime I, who has his very own statue, chased away the Moors and conquered Valencia.

Why Valencia Old Town Bike Tour is so charming?

Pelican Bike will show you all the special places formed by history on this Valencia bikes tour. We will see an example of excellent gothic architecture, the Serranos Gate (Porta dels Serrans). Its construction began in 1392 and it was built for defending the city from intruders. In 1865, the city walls were knocked down, but the Serranos Gate was saved and used as a prison. But that gate won’t hold us prisoners, since we will still have a lot to discover while we bike Valencia. Right in the heart of the old city of Valencia, we will find the charming Plaza de la Virgen, which was constructed by the above mentioned Romans. It is surrounded by Valencia’s most symbolic buildings, namely the Cathedral of Santa Maria, the Basilica de la Virgen de los Desamparados and the Palace of the Generalitat. With the picturesque fountain in the middle of the square, this is the perfect place to have a break and enjoy the atmosphere during our Valencia cycles tour.
