Sustainable or non-motorized transportation
By bicycle:
The bicycle is the Forum’s official mode of transport, and so a special plan has been drawn up to commemorate the Universal Forum of Cultures.

With the collaboration of Turisme de Barcelona, TMB and Barcelona City Council, the Forum has started the Ciclobus-Fòrum project. This will be a bicycle rental service available at 4 spots around the city, where visitors will be able to rent bikes to move around the city.

To get to the Forum by bicycle, the following cycle routes may be used:
· Avinguda Diagonal
· Rambla de Prim
· Ronda Verda - Josep Pla

To improve the connections between existing cycle routes and the Forum, two new routes will be made available:
· A route linking Ronda Verda with a bicycle park with space for approximately 500 bicycles on carrer Llull.
· A route linking Plaça de Catalunya with Colon to connect the bicycle rental points of the Ciclobus-Fòrum project.

On foot:
A large part of the surrounding area will be restricted to public transportation and pedestrians, so that pedestrians will be able to move around comfortably from the metro stations and bus stops to the Forum Site entrances.
Rollerskates:
Visitors may come to the Forum Site on roller-skates and store them in one of the 788 lockers that will be available at the Site entrances.
