Tours run daily in the morning early afternoon and early evening. Never tried a Segway before? Get the perfect introduction in a beautiful location at the fraction of a price most Segway tours would charge.

Segway Tours are a brilliant way to see the main attractions in Budapest and some parts of the Castle Hill and Gellert Hill (depending on the length of Segway tour, attractions and inclusions vary). The Castle District is located on the plateau of the Buda Hill and while Segways are no longer allowed to enter the Castle District atop the hill, the hillside sections allow visitors to approach several attractions to get a relatively closer look at from a Segway. The English Guided Tour is ideal for people of all ages, from 10 years up. The tour is convenient, fun, informative and cool, so even bored teenagers can get excited.

Segways are easy to control for any age (min age is 10 years old), smart, extremely fun to manoeuvre and environmentally friendly. These special two wheeler transportations rely on your natural balance, plus you can control the speed of the Segway with your own weight and gentle movements (leaning forward very slightly and backwards).

Beginners / First Experience on Segway

Even if you have never used a Segway, you can learn it in less than 15 minutes. Unlike bicycles, which require a longer learning curve, Segways are more intuitive, require a lot less balancing skills, and you can safely stop them and step off them, just as if you stopped walking (we are talking from experience, recalling our very first encounters with this marvellous machine).

Route & Attractions – Budapest Segway Sightseeing

Please note that the red route on the map is no longer available as Segways are no longer allowed to enter the Buda Castle District zone, so the route will avoid the hilltop residential areas, roughly following this updated route:

1. The tour starts in the city centre on the Pest side at the Segway Tour Office (short walk from Deak or Vorosmarty Sq. in District V)
2. Chain Bridge (crossing from Pest to Buda side) – Adam Clark Square by the Tunnel under the Buda Hill and the Zero Kilometre Statue
3. Hillside views up to the Fisherman’s Bastion – Matthias Church – Trinity Statue – Magdalene Church Tower (all attractions outside only, from the closest point allowed on the hillside, without entering the Castle gates, i.e. the Castle District)
4. Hillside views of Presidential Palace – Royal Palace – Old Gate – Buda Castle Gardens (all attractions from afar, outside only)
5. Rudas Baths – Elizabeth Bridge (crossing from Buda to Pest side) – Marcius 15 Square – some tours only
6.  Gellert Hill and the Citadel Viewing terraces – (longer tours only, see booking page)
7. Hungarian Opera House on Andrassy Avenue (selected tours, see booking page)
8. The tour ends in the city centre on the Pest side at the Segway Tour Office

Important notice: Tour organisers reserve the right to modify or change the route without prior notice throughout the year. This can be due to construction, street closures, festivals or any events beyond the organisers’ control. Please note that the city prohibits the use of Segways in certain pedestrian zones which may force the tour to use alternative routes.

Groups – Segway Tours in Budapest

Public Segway tours are for a maximum of approx. 12 people, but it does not mean there could not be a bigger group if you are all part of a private group.

Tours are interactive, entertaining, and providing the guests with opportunities to ask questions about Budapest / Hungary. This is the fun thing to do in Budapest for couples, families, friends or even business people, where you do take an active part, and feel great.

Duration of Segway Tour: up to you which length you prefer, from 1 hour up to 2 or 2.5 hour including training time
