2. Madrid Segway: 2h Casa Campo Off Road Tour
Rating: 5 out of 5
Length of tour: 1.5 hours

Starting at the vibrant street of Calle de las Huertas, where literary quotes are inscribed in the pavement, this Segway tour in Madrid makes a great choice for adventure seekers. The Madrid Segway: 2h Casa Campo Off Road Tour takes place mostly in the off-road area of Casa de Campo, a huge parkland area.

I love the Casa de Campo, it really feels like you’re deep in beautiful nature, whilst being only minutes from all the attractions of central Madrid. Gliding through on a Segway means you can cover much more of the expansive park than on foot.
This tour was a great way to see the inner part of the city and also the beautiful scenery of Casa Campo.
