More About the Tour
Embark on a 2.5-hour Segway journey dedicated to the genius of Antoni Gaudí and discover the essence of Barcelona’s Modernisme. After a short orientation, the tour begins in the heart of the city, gliding through the Gothic Quarter and the Born district. These historic neighborhoods, with their Roman ruins and the stunning Basilica of Santa Maria del Mar, offer the perfect introduction to Barcelona’s layered past.
From there, you’ll roll into the lush Ciutadella Park, the city’s green oasis, where you’ll see the Parliament of Catalonia and the Castell dels Tres Dragons, one of Gaudí’s very first architectural contributions. Crossing the grand Arc de Triomf, built as the entrance to the 1888 Universal Exhibition, the route leads you into the Eixample, Barcelona’s modernist showcase. Along the way, you’ll encounter not only Gaudí’s masterpieces but also other architectural gems such as Casa Amatller, Casa Calvet and Casa de les Punxes.
Gliding down Passeig de Gràcia, Barcelona’s most elegant avenue, you’ll be amazed by the whimsical shapes, vibrant colors and fantastical details of Casa Batlló, before admiring Casa Milà, better known as “La Pedrera”. Built in 1906, this striking building marked the edge of the city when Gràcia was still an independent village.
The highlight of the experience is, of course, the Sagrada Familia. Construction of this awe-inspiring basilica began in 1882 and continues today, making it not only Barcelona’s most visited monument but also a living symbol of Gaudí’s vision and genius.
On the way back to the starting point, the tour passes by La Monumental, the former bullring that once hosted major events until bullfighting was banned in Catalonia in 2012.
More than just a sightseeing tour, this Gaudí Segway Tour is an immersive journey through Barcelona’s history, culture and artistic spirit, combining its ancient streets with its most iconic modernist landmarks.
Itinerary
Begin at our centrally located office near Paral.lel avenue, where your guide will provide a personalized introduction and Segway training session.
Set off along the seafront, passing the Columbus Monument and Port Vell. Here, you’ll also discover La Cara de Barcelona, Roy Lichtenstein’s colorful tribute to Gaudí and one of the city’s modern icons.
They were one of the first commissions given to the young Antoni Gaudí by the Barcelona City Council, after completing his architecture studies in 1878.
Glide into the city’s green heart, created for the 1888 World’s Fair. Here, you’ll encounter some of Gaudí’s early contributions as a young architect.
Enter the elegant Eixample district and ride along the famed Passeig de Gràcia, Barcelona’s luxury boulevard. Discover Casa Batlló – a dreamlike façade of flowing forms, mosaics, and stained glass.
Casa Milà (La Pedrera) – an architectural jewel of stone and iron, where Gaudí blurred the line between sculpture and architecture.
A fairytale-like building with pointed towers, this modernist gem by Josep Puig i Cadafalch sits on Diagonal Avenue and adds a medieval flair to the city’s skyline.
Conclude with Gaudí’s magnum opus, the Basilica of the Sagrada Família. Still under construction more than a century later, this masterpiece stands as Barcelona’s most iconic monument and the ultimate expression of Gaudí’s genius.
Barcelona’s last bullring, opened in 1914, is a striking mix of Moorish and Byzantine styles. Though no longer used for bullfighting, its impressive façade still dominates the area.
