See Barcelona from a different perspective

Tired of walking around? There are other, more exciting ways to discover the wonders the city has to offer. Here are a few of them.

Segways

Jump onto a Segway and get ready to discover the city with Barcelona Segway Tours. Experienced tour guides will take you on a visit at the Gothic quarter, the beach, the historic Olympic Port, Parc de la Ciutadella and the Born neighborhood.

Barcelona Segway Tours is located at Baixada del Caçador 6.

Las Golondrinas

Las Golondrinas are motorized boats that offer a view of the city from the sea. There are different rides lasting from 35 to 90 minutes, from which visitors can see the coast of Barcelona. Most of the boats used at Las Golondrinas have features that allow visitors to look underwater, through glass panels on the bottom of the boat.

Las Golondrinas depart from Portal de la Pau, closte to Mirador de Colón.

Cable Car

O cool way to get a panoramic view of Barcelona, is by taking a cable car. There are two cable cars or teleféricos in Barcelona: Teleférico del Puerto, which can be taken at Torre de San Sebastián for a price of 10€, and Teleférico de Montjuïc, which can be taken at Avinguda Miramar 30 for 6,80€.

Rickshaws

There is a cool new service in Barcelona that allows people to visit the city on a rickshaw. Rickshaw Tours has beach tours that go from Hotel W to Port Olimpic, and architecture tours, where the bike riders that operate the rickshaw take visitors on a tour of some of the most famous buildings, facades and areas of interest. You can either reserve your rickshaw tour online or go to Happy Rental Bike at Carrer Roger de Flor 7.

Gocars

Go Cars are small-sized, 3 wheeled vehicles with a 499cc size scooter engine, fit for driving around the city with a partner or a friend. Complete with GPS, this two-seat ride is a great option for those who are not crazy about walking, but would still like to see all the sights. The routes take the tourists around the city, passing by all the major monuments and sights. Each car comes with an audio file that offers informative comments about certain points in the tour. This audio file is connected to the GPS, which has trigger points along the routes so it can offer the comments at exactly the right time.

Excited? Then go to GoCar Tours to book your GoCar tour now! Their main shop is located at Passeig de Pujades, number 7.
