Full description
Explore the historic center of Madrid in the company of a local guide on a 3-hour Segway tour from Plaza de España to the urban oasis of El Retiro park.
Meet your guide by the statue of Cervantes on Plaza de España. Then, following a short training session on how to operate the self-balancing vehicles, glide through the city streets of the old city center. Marvel at buildings built during the reign of the Hapsburg rulers.
The itinerary eventually leads to the Paseo de Prado, famous for its “Golden Triangle” of world-class museums. Enter the vast urban park of El Retiro. Declared an area of “Bien de Interés Cultural,” the dense, tree-lined avenue of the Paseo de Prado is one of the oldest urban areas of the city with sights such as the Reina Sofia Museum, Bolsa de Madrid (Stock Exchange), and Congreso de los Diputados (National Congress).
