The 1.5-hour Segway Tour through the most authentic quarter of Lisbon opens at the meeting point with a training round on the Segway. After a very short time you will drive the vehicle effortlessly over the sidewalks and glide silently through the colourful streets. Alfama is a place full of history. The heritage is easily recognizable by its architecture, winding streets and steep stairs, arcades, cosy squares and whitewashed houses. You will drive to the National Pantheon, also known as St. Engratia's Church, reach the famous flea market (which only takes place on Tuesdays and Saturdays), Santa Clara Market and you can visit a welcoming garden called Botto Machado. Before the end of this tour we will take you to Lisbon Cathedral - Sé de Lisboa - (the oldest building in Lisbon).

Option 2: Segway tour delicious

The Segway Culinary Tour focuses on neighbourhoods with traditional taverns and cafés where you will have some snacks and drinks and taste the flavours of Lisbon. In Alfama you will experience the real Lisbon, colourful, cultural, traditional. When you drive up the hill to Graça, you will be faced with a panorama. This is what the viewpoint "Senhora do Monte", which we will visit, is so famous for. After a moment of relaxation at the top, we will descend the hill again to welcome Mouraria, Lisbon's multicultural district. As a prelude to the Segway Tour, you will learn how a Segway is moved and steered. On the way, the guide will tell you interesting facts about the culture and history along the route.

The Segway Tour to Belém is a journey back in time that presents several historical monuments in this emblematic area of Lisbon. The entire route to Belém runs along the banks of the river, which means that you can expect an extremely pleasant journey full of light, beautiful landscapes and good atmosphere. Those who are interested in history and know the importance of the Portuguese discoveries will fall in love with Belém, where everything is magnanimous, historic and sacred. Three of the main highlights of this tour are the Tower of Belém, the Monument of the Discoveries and the Jerónimos Monastery. But on your way to the "Golden Era" you will also find other elements of great interest, such as the bridge of 25 April (always compared to the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco), the docks, the Lx factory, the Museum of Architecture and Technology and the Electricity Museum. At the end of this sailor's tour there is a ritual that you cannot miss: the tasting of the famous Portuguese cream cakes.

Detailed description

Guided Segway tours through Lisbon - discover the beauty and history of this colourful city

The Segway tours through Lisbon are an exciting form of sightseeing. Noiselessly you roll through the small streets and alleys of the city at the Tejo, stop at viewpoints and sights and take the spirit of this exciting capital with you. You will discover the oldest and perhaps most charming district of Alfama, the sailor's quarter around the Torre Belém or the taverns of Lisbon. All Segway tours are accompanied by local guides and can be followed in several languages. Segways are modern and very flexible vehicles that glide effortlessly through the city of hills. And all this without fuel. You don't need any previous knowledge to participate in this adventurous sightseeing tour. At the beginning of each Segway tour, the guide will take time for a detailed briefing and for your questions. You will quickly learn to control your Segway intuitively and to drive it safely.

The Segway Tours in Lisbon cover three topics. And depending on what you are interested in, this unconventional city tour will give you a completely new experience. Ideal for beginners and first-time visitors is the 1.5-hour Segway tour through Alfama. Here the arcades, squares, historic facades and whitewashed houses dominate and here the sights add up. One of the favourites is the National Pantheon, also known as St. Engratia Church. It took three centuries to build this majestic Baroque monument, which is also the resting place of the country's most important cultural and political figures.

We open up the view to the water on our Segway tours through Lisbon, while we follow the traces of the sailors to the Torre Belém - always following the river. And then we stand in front of this wonderful building, in a backdrop of historic and sacred monuments. From the Monument of the Discoveries to the Jerónimos Monastery and the bridge of 25 April, which is often compared to the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. And because a round city tour also includes culinary delights, the famous Portuguese tarts Pastéis de Nata, for which people are queuing up, are the finale. Those who want to try some more flavours of Lisbon book the culinary Segway Tour. We combine the discovery of the city in the taverns and cafés with some specialities from the local cuisine.
