Where the tourist bus hides more stories than a pirate galleon

Prices depend on the type of tour (for example, by Segway), usually around €40–60 per person; check the latest rates at www.caravelonwheels.com. Booking in advance is recommended, especially in high season, via the website, phone (+351 215 955 155), or email ([email protected]).
Most tours last about 2 hours, including the briefing and the Segway ride through the historic center. It lets you explore at an easy pace, but plan for at least 2.5 hours in total to get ready.
This Segway tour brings back the era of the Portuguese caravels, exploring historic neighborhoods such as Alfama and Baixa, cradle of the maritime discoveries. It offers a unique perspective on Lisbon’s heritage of exploration, combining modern fun with deep history.
Spring (March–May) or autumn (September–November) are ideal because of the mild weather; avoid the height of summer because of the heat. Choose early morning or sunset for spectacular views and fewer crowds.
Segway tours require balance and basic mobility, so they are not ideal for wheelchair users. Contact Caravel on Wheels directly at +351 215 955 155 or [email protected] for alternative options or adaptations.
Near the starting point at Praça do Comércio, visit Lisbon Cathedral, Saint George’s Castle, or the Santa Justa Lift. They are perfect to combine with the tour and explore on foot afterward.
Wear comfortable shoes, sunscreen, and bring water; arrive 15 minutes early for the safety briefing. Book in advance at www.caravelonwheels.com and use a map app to get your bearings beforehand.
