About this tour
Glide through Madrid's historic centre on a Segway, covering landmarks from the Almudena Cathedral to the Royal Palace and the ancient Egyptian temple. This 90-minute guided tour pairs modern transport with centuries of architecture, letting you cover ground quickly whilst soaking in the city's layered past. You'll receive a brief induction and safety gear before setting off with a local guide who knows the routes and stories.
Highlights
- Almudena Cathedral's neo-Gothic facade and interior
- Palacio Real: Europe's largest working royal residence
- Templo de Debod: 2,200-year-old Egyptian temple relocated to Madrid
- Hands-on Segway training before departure

What to expect
After a short training session to get comfortable on the Segway, you'll roll out with your guide through Madrid's main historical quarter. The pace is brisk—you'll cover routes on foot would take hours—but relaxed enough to absorb the surroundings. Expect to stop at key monuments for photographs and commentary. The ride suits all fitness levels, though you need reasonable balance and the ability to mount, dismount, and handle minor inclines without help. Weather won't stop the tour; waterproofs are supplied.
