Barcelona Welcomes the Tour de France: Experience the City from the Sea
This summer, Barcelona is preparing to make cycling history as it hosts the Grand Départ of the 2026 Tour de France. For the very first time, the world’s most prestigious cycling race will begin in the Catalan capital, attracting thousands of fans, professional teams, international media, and visitors from around the globe.
For several days, the city will be buzzing with excitement. Riders will race through some of Barcelona’s most iconic locations, combining spectacular sporting action with breathtaking Mediterranean scenery, world-famous architecture, and the vibrant atmosphere that makes the city so unique.
