About this tour
Glide through Vicenza's Renaissance landmarks on a 3-hour Segway tour led by a local guide. You'll navigate the city's most significant Palladian structures—the Olympic Theatre, Chiericati Palace, Villa La Rotonda—plus historic piazzas and bridges. The route covers roughly eight kilometres at a leisurely pace suitable for any fitness level. A 30-minute orientation prepares you before departure. Small groups of up to eight people keep the experience personal and unhurried.

- Contrà Porti and market squares: Street-level Venetian life.

What to expect
After a quick safety briefing and 30-minute practice session, you'll mount your Segway and head into the centro storico with your guide. The pace is gentle—expect stops to absorb each building and plaza rather than rush through. You'll cover roughly eight kilometres, including the San Paolo Bridge, Piazzetta Santo Stefano, and the sprawling Piazza delle Erbe where vendors once sold produce. The Olympic Theatre and Villa La Rotonda are viewed from outside; entry fees aren't included. Most legs are manageable terrain, though cobblestones require steady footing. Allow time for questions and photography.
