    7 Places to Visit in and Around Segovia

    If medieval architecture, Gothic cathedrals, and Romanesque churches are up your alley, you need to visit Segovia. The attractions in Segovia are rooted in its past, making tourism both fascinating and educational. A real jewel in Spain's crown.

    • Alcázar de Segovia

      1. Alcázar de Segovia

      This castle is located in the old town and if you think it looks like a scene from a movie, all turrets and twisting stairways, you're right - it inspired Disney!

    • Aqueduct of Segovia

      2. Aqueduct of Segovia

      This feat of Roman engineering is shrouded in mystery - it's so old no one has yet managed to date it! Local legend has it that Satan himself built it, in a single night, no less.

    • Segovia Cathedral

      3. Segovia Cathedral

      A trip to Spain is often punctuated by cathedrals and churches, but save your energy for this one - it's one of the very best. Tours are in Spanish and take in the artwork.

    • Monasterio del Parral

      4. Monasterio del Parral

      The monastery opens from 11:00AM to 5:00PM, unless you book a group tour through the Segovia tourism office. It offers great views across the walled city, so take a camera.

    • Casa de los Picos

      5. Casa de los Picos

      This unusual building, decorated with hundreds of granite peaks, is worth a walk-by, as part of a wander around the capital, or along a shady walk towards the aqueduct.

    • 6. La Muralla (Ramparts)

      Play medieval knight here, with a walk around the famed and historic walls of Segovia. Enjoy pretty views and learn about the city's history – entry with audio guide is 1.50€.

    • 7. Plazuela de San Martín

      This small, charming plaza offers a statue of Juan Bravo and the 14th-century Torreón de Lozoya. There's also plenty of nearby shops and restaurants to help soak up the atmosphere.

    Planning Your Visit

    • Day Trips to Segovia

      Segovia is a popular day trip destination from Madrid (it's around an hour's drive), as there's plenty to see and do here and much of it can be squeezed into a day. Do a bit of planning to work out how long you need - history or architecture buffs may want a little longer to explore.

    • Eat your way through Segovia

      This city offers delicious food at cheaper prices than nearby Madrid. Try the local suckling pig or bean stew for a real taste of the region.

    Overall rating

    4.5 / 5

    based on 1,957 reviews

    Our guide was awesome. Not only did he give the history of each of the places we visited, but he inserted quite a bit of humor into his talk. Just overall enjoyable. My only issue was with the description and the fact that it said you would have four hours free after the guided part ended. It was closer to six hours. Segovia is not big enough to wander around and have lunch or dinner for six hours. I opted to do a second tour to Avila which made the afternoon fly.

    Segovia: Full-Day Trip with Guided Walking Tour from Madrid Reviewed by Anonymous, 3/8/2020

    great tour, David was very knowledgeable and helpful, the waitress (didn't catch her name) could work a little on her attitude, but in general a good experience, was a little rushed but the itinerary was extensive and you can't always plan for people being late, perfect if you want to take a quick look to the important places and have an idea of the history, in case you want to dig deeper in other time, would recommend!

    Segovia and Toledo: Alcazar with Cathedral & Lunch Options Reviewed by Dsvid, 3/11/2020

    Totally worth the value. Ivan was very knowledgable and friendly, and spoke english and spanish very well. The tour was planned out very well and gave us a lot of information and enough time on our own to explore different shops and cafes and other sights that we wanted to see. Would recommend to anyone for a great day trip.

    Segovia and Toledo: Alcazar with Cathedral & Lunch Options Reviewed by Angelina, 3/16/2020

    The tour is perfect! The bus is comfortable, the tour guide speaks several languages and her English was perfect. The lunch was fabulous and super yummy. The amount of time given to tour each town was just right and we were able to fit some tourist shopping in too.

    From Madrid: Ávila with Walls & Segovia Full-Day Tour Reviewed by Shelly, 4/1/2020

    We were very pleased with everything except that we had expected the lecture about each of the locations to be longer than 2 - 3 minutes. We suggest you add the words "very brief" to your on-line description of what's included in the tour or lengthen the talk.
