My family and I were in Madrid for a week, and wanted to get away a little. This Madrid to Segovia day trip was perfect. It’s a full-day activity, and you really get to see a lot. Segovia was beautiful! It’s a cute, smaller, more relaxed city than Madrid, with really gorgeous old buildings. We also chose to go inside the cathedral after our guide spoke so highly of it, and I really recommend it. Gorgeous gothic architecture. The skip-the-line tickets came in handy there - the normal line was super long!
I absolutely loved this Segovia tour from Madrid. We were debating between Segovia and Toledo, and I’m glad we picked Segovia. Our guide Michelle was amazing. Very friendly woman and with such a wealth of knowledge. She knew the answer to literally every question we asked her. Organization was also great! The bus left bang-on time, and was very comfortable and spacious. Segovia was of course gorgeous. Seeing Alcázar was my personal highlight - the castle is just magnificent!

EXPLORE SEGOVIA WITH AN EXPERT GUIDE
Your Madrid to Segovia day trip begins with a leisurely walking tour with a local guide. Wander around the historic Spanish city and soak in the charming medieval architecture. Your first stop is the Cathedral of Segovia, where you also have the option to enter. Known as "The Lady of Cathedrals", this masterpiece was begun in 1525 and is considered one of the last truly Gothic cathedrals constructed in Europe. The church is huge, with a beautiful set of 65 stained-glass window pieces. Your guide will tell you all about its rich history!
SEE SEGOVIA’S FAMOUS LANDMARKS
It’d be a shame to visit the city of Segovia without seeing its Roman Aqueduct. After all, it’s a symbol of the city and one of the best-preserved Roman aqueducts. The Roman Aqueduct supplied the city's fountains, public baths, and houses until 1973. Try to count all its arches - there are 167! Your next stop is the Alcázar of Segovia, a sprawling fortress from the 12th century. This huge castle has been home to 22 kings and is known for its impressive architecture. You’ll see its moat, thick walls, and several soaring towers. Your guide will point out the most famous: the Homage Tower and the Tower of John II.
DISCOVER THE QUAINT ÁVILA
Your day trip to Segovia also includes visiting Ávila. This city is famous for its 11th-century walls, and if you want, you can enter them. They’re Spain’s most complete and best-preserved medieval fortifications! They’re huge: 3 meters wide and 12 meters high, with nine gates providing passage through the stone. You'll also visit other landmarks, such as the Ávila Cathedral and the Basilica of San Vicente. Finally, wander across Plaza Mayor, the city’s central town square.
TRAVEL BACK TO MADRID
Climb back into the air-conditioned bus and unwind as you return to Madrid. Relax into the seat, enjoy the view, and remember all the gorgeous sights you saw on your day trip. And while you're on your way back, it’s the perfect time to plan your evening — book your Flamenco Show Madrid tickets in advance and end the day with an unforgettable cultural experience.

Interesting facts about Segovia
- The Alcázar of Segovia inspired several famous Disney castles. For example, Disneyland Park's “Sleeping Beauty” castle reflects the Alcázar’s architecture. So does the “Cinderella” castle in Florida’s Magic Kingdom.
- The Roman Aqueduct of Segovia is a true engineering marvel. It was built using approximately 20,400 granite blocks that are held together without a single drop of mortar or cement. The entire structure stays standing purely through the force of gravity and the perfect balance of the stones!
- The most famous dish from Segovia is a suckling pig, and today, a suckling pig is a symbol of the city. When made the right way, the meat is so tender it can be cut with a plate!
