About this tour
Glide through Valencia's futuristic architectural landscape on this 90-minute Segway tour centred on the City of Arts and Sciences. Santiago Calatrava's sculptural buildings rise around you as your art historian guide navigates you through the grounds and into the adjoining Turia Gardens, where manicured green space frames steel and glass monuments. It's a low-impact way to cover the sprawling complex without the usual foot traffic fatigue.

What to expect
You'll be fitted with a helmet and safety equipment, then trained briefly on Segway handling before setting off. The route weaves through the City of Arts and Sciences complex—you'll see the Hemisfèric, Museum of Sciences, and L'Oceanogràfic from angles that reveal Calatrava's geometric precision. Your guide fills in architectural backstory and historical context as you move between sites. The pace is leisurely; there's time to absorb details and take photographs. You'll loop into the Turia Gardens, a ribbon of parkland where the urban landscape drops away and you're surrounded by trees and manicured lawns.
