What can I see on a Madrid to Segovia day trip?

1/4

Alcazar of Segovia

Disney fans, ever wondered where the inspiration for Cinderella's castle came from? Look no further than the Alcazar of Segovia! It's a tough fortress that has been a royal palace, a jail, and even a military academy! Now, it's a museum filled with suits of armor and royal treasures fit for a princess!

Azoguejo Square

The Azoguejo Square is a big open space right where the aqueduct hits its highest point. It's the town square of Segovia, with a tourist information office and tons of cafes and restaurants. Don't forget to climb the stairs from the square – the views of the aqueduct and the whole city from up there are unreal!

Roman Aqueduct

As you enter Segovia, the first thing you'll see is the impressive Roman aqueduct, the city's main symbol. Built around 112 AD, this well-preserved structure stretches 15km with over 170 arches and was constructed entirely without mortar. It’s like walking under a giant gate from ancient times — a marvel of engineering that even kids will find fascinating!

Segovia Cathedral

Another must-see is the Segovia Cathedral, right in the main square. This Gothic giant is one of the last of its kind in Europe, built way back in the 16th century. This Gothic marvel looks stunning from every angle, with sharp pinnacles and a towering bell. Inside, you'll find 21 beautifully decorated chapels and a peaceful Gothic cloister!

Getting to Segovia

We would recommend taking a Toledo and Segovia tour from Madrid, since Segovia isn’t as easy to reach as Toledo. With a Madrid to Segovia day trip, you don’t have to worry about transportation! Just sit back and relax and enjoy the comfortable round-trip AC coach transfer!

If you would like to visit Segovia on your own, here's how you can get there!

Bus:

The most budget-friendly option is taking the Avanza bus from Moncloa station.
Take line 3 (yellow line) or line 6 (circular line).
The ride takes about 1 hour and 20 minutes, costing around €4-5 each way.
The bus station is in the city center, and it's only a short 10 minute walk to the aqueduct!

Train (AVE):

The fastest way to get to Segovia is by AVE high-speed train from Chamartín Station.
You can take the light blue Line 1 or dark blue Line 10.
The train ride takes only 30 minutes. Keep in mind that the train station is located outside the city center, so you’ll have to take a taxi to Segovia’s Azoguejo Square.

Things to know about your Madrid to Segovia day trip

Spain uses the Euro (€). Credit cards are widely accepted, but it's always handy to have some cash on hand for smaller purchases or taxis.

Segovia is compact and walkable, but taxis are readily available if needed.
The ‘San Marcos viewpoint’ in Segovia is the best spot to take photos! You get a perfect vantage point to click the medieval buildings of the city.
If you arrive by train, you’ll need to take a local bus, taxi, or walk from the Segovia-Guiomar station to the city center. Which will take 15-20 minutes by bus.
