The experience

The tour starts with instruction and a safety briefing, so you're comfortable on the Segway before the route begins. From there, the guide takes you through the Cathedral of Mallorca (known as the Cathedral of Light for its 59 windows and five rose windows), and past the 14th-century Royal Palace of La Almudaina, the official residence of the Spanish royal family when they're in Mallorca. You'll roll through Plaça Cort, where the ancient Olivera de Cort tree stands, and glide down Paseo del Borne, the most elegant avenue in Palma.

The route moves through the Old Town's narrow streets and past Es Baluard, a contemporary art museum, then reaches La Lonja de Palma: a Gothic masterpiece of stone and arches. You'll ride along the Parc de la Mar, the park that sits below the cathedral walls, and pass Ca'n Pere Antoni beach, a small stretch of sand just beyond the cathedral where the Segway path runs close to the water. The guide shares stories and legends about Palma's history and points out the window displays of traditional Mallorquin crafts that line the streets.

The tour ends in Portixol, an old fishing harbor that has become one of the trendiest neighborhoods around Palma. It's a working waterfront with a small-town feel, a shift from the monumental center. The whole outing takes two and a half hours, and the guide is a professional who speaks your language: English, Spanish, Italian, French or one of three others.
