Put on your helmet, and enjoy a training session to get familiar with your two-wheeled Segway. Once you feel at ease, follow your guide and glide through the city on one of two routes:
2-Hour Tour:
Your first stop is Barcelona’s Barri Gòtic, in the center of the old city. Home to a labyrinthine tangle of streets, the neighborhood contains some of the city’s most impressive 15th-century architecture. Admire stately buildings sitting cheek-by-jowl with sidewalk cafes, and then pass through Columbus Square to La Rambla.
Stop for photos on the famous boulevard against a backdrop of colorful flower stands, and continue cruising to Barcelona’s old harbor at Port Vell. Glance at the yachts bobbing on the water and pass the glitzy Maremagnum leisure center and Palau del Mar hotel.
Glide through the fishing district of La Barceloneta to see the main promenade stretching along Platja de la Barcelona, the city’s main beach. Toward the end of the beach lies Barcelona’s Olympic port, so follow your guide to it for a photo stop. Pass through Parc de la Barceloneta and enjoy a last stop by El Cap de Barcelona (the Head), a surrealist sculpture by American artist Roy Lichtenstein. Finally, return to the start point.
3-Hour Tour:
After seeing all the sights taken in on the 2-hour route, continue with your guide from El Cap de Barcelona to the Arc de Triomf. Hear how the monument was built for the 1888 Barcelona World Fair, and has since become one of the city’s most distinctive landmarks. After a short stop by the monument, continue through Parc de la Ciutadella.
Weave along the park’s pathways, enjoying the tranquil surrounds, and see the Cascada, a majestic-looking archway and water feature. Watch the water cascading down, and then pose for a photo by the Parliament of Catalonia, an imposing building nestled inside the park.
Having enjoyed a full extra hour on your Segway, return to the start point where your tour finishes.
