Bicycle Rental in Sitges

| Motos Viñola Bicycle Rental Company |
There are two shops in Sitges offering bike rental. Bikes are available for periods of an hour to up to one week. It is worth speaking to the shops directly regarding prices. They are both small companies and may be open to negotiation regarding hiring a bike for an extended period or for a large group. Despite Sitges' many hills, a ride along the promenade could prove very pleasant. The surrounding inland of Garraf is also popular amongst keen cyclists.
If you are planning a trip to Sitges and have never been before, it is worth noting that it is located in a very hilly area. Therefore, what seems like a reasonable distance to walk or cycle may seem less appealing when it involves a steep uphill climb!
Sitges is a reasonably small town, but there are many circumstances when you may require transport of some kind. Remember that the bus stop and taxi ranks are both located directly outside Sitges train station, making it useful if you are arriving into Sitges via train.
