Palma, the economic and cultural hub of Majorca, is a delightful base for exploring the island's many gold and white beaches. A former Moorish casbah, or walled city, Palma's Old Town is an appealing maze of narrow streets that are a delight to explore on foot. Hop on the Soller Railway for a 17-mile scenic trip, visit 14th-century Bellver Castle and the museum of contemporary art, and check out the nightlife.

It was a great way to see many of Palma´s attractions and their history. We were a little bit scared at the beginning because it was the first time we used a Segway, but our guide, Jane, teached us how to use it very fast. All the time she was checking if we are ok and also giving us useful tips to be sure that we won´t crush along the way, thing that made us feel very secure. Beside all of this, it was a great experience to learn about the history of Palma and to feel the breeze of the see riding a Segway. We will try the tour other time with other friends for sure!
