Barcelona: Olympic Segway Tour

Montjuïc hill has been part of Barcelona's story for centuries, but it was the 1992 Olympics that transformed it into the landmark district you can explore today. This guided Segway tour traces the Olympic Ring, the cluster of stadiums and plazas built for the Games, giving you an easy way to cover ground that would otherwise mean a steep uphill walk.

You'll roll past the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys, the stadium that hosted the opening and closing ceremonies, and see the Palau Sant Jordi, Arata Isozaki's domed sports arena, from the outside. Your guide fills in the details as you go — how the Games reshaped this part of Barcelona and why these venues still matter to the city three decades on. The Olympic esplanade opens up wide views over the surrounding rooftops, a good spot to pause before heading back down through Montjuïc's gardens.

No prior Segway experience is needed. A short orientation at the start gets you comfortable with the controls before the group sets off, making this a low-effort way to take in one of Barcelona's most significant modern landmarks.

The tour starts with a Segway orientation, giving you time to get used to steering and balance before setting off toward the Montjuïc Olympic Ring. From there, your guide leads the group past the Cauldron where the Paralympic flame was once lit, around the exterior of the Olympic Stadium, and through the esplanade lined with Games-era architecture, with commentary throughout on the Olympics' lasting impact on the city.

After taking in the views from the esplanade, the route winds back through Montjuïc's gardens to the starting point. The whole experience takes roughly 1.5 to 2 hours, covering elevated terrain that the Segways manage easily, so no special fitness is needed to complete it.
