Valenbisi: Valencia's bike sharing
Valenbisi is Valencia's public shared-bike system: more than 270 stations spread across the whole city, available 24 hours a day. With a pass you unlock a bike at any station and return it at whichever one suits you, designed for short trips of under half an hour. In such a flat city with over 150 km of bike lanes, it's one of the fastest and cheapest ways to get around. On ConoceValencia you can see bike and dock availability in real time so you don't waste a trip.
How Valenbisi works
It's simple: you sign up for a pass, walk to a station, unlock a bike with your card or from the app, and return it by docking it at any other station in the city. You don't have to go back to where you started, so you can use it just for the outbound leg and take the metro, bus or walk back.
It's designed for short trips: the first 30 minutes of each journey are usually included in the pass, and after that you pay a small fee per time block. The idea is for bikes to rotate between users, not to sit parked all afternoon; for that a traditional bike rental is better.
Valenbisi fares and passes
Valenbisi offers two types of pass depending on how long you'll be in Valencia. Exact fares are reviewed periodically, so confirm the current price on the official website before signing up.
- Annual pass (long term): the option for residents and people living in the city; great value if you use it often.
- Weekly pass (short term): designed for visitors and tourists who want to get around by bike for a few days.
- First 30 minutes of each trip included in the pass; after that, a fee per time block.
- Sign-up, top-up and management from the official website or the Valenbisi app.
- You can chain trips: if you return the bike within 30 minutes and take another, you get the free time block again.
Real-time availability
The biggest headache with bike sharing is arriving at an empty station (no bikes) or a full one (no docks to return to). That's why on ConoceValencia's bike map each station shows, updated in real time, how many bikes are available and how many docks are free. Before heading out you can check that your station has bikes and that your destination will have room, and pick a nearby alternative station if needed.
Tips for using Valenbisi
- Check availability on the map before going to the station, especially at rush hour.
- In high-demand areas (centre, university, beach) stations empty and fill up fast: keep a second nearby station in mind.
- Check the bike is in good condition (brakes, wheels, saddle) before unlocking it.
- Ride on the bike lanes and the Turia Gardens whenever you can; it's safer and more pleasant.
- Dock the bike properly when returning it and wait for confirmation (light or beep) so the timer stops.
Valenbisi versus other options
Valenbisi is unbeatable for one-off, spontaneous trips around the centre, because you don't have to carry the bike or worry about a lock or parking. If you're going to cycle for many hours straight or leave the city, a traditional rental or bringing your own bike makes more sense. And compared with shared e-scooters, the public bike is usually cheaper per trip and reaches more corners thanks to the density of stations.
