Buses between Segovia and Madrid (Moncloa bus station) run once or twice an hour, taking one hour, fare €10. Buses also run to Avila (one hour) and Salamanca (3 hours 30). The bus operator is La Sepulvedana. Segovia bus station is on Paseo de Ezequiel Gonzalez, 300 m south of the Aqueduct.

Segovia has two train stations, both to the south of the city. High-speed AVE trains use the new station Segovia-Guiomar, 5 kilometers away. These take 30 mins to Madrid Chamartin and 40 mins to Valladolid, fare €15 one-way. They run every hour or so, more often for commuters mornings into Madrid and evenings coming out. The AVE station has frequent buses to the centre (€2): Bus 11 to Plaza Artilleria beneath the Aqueduct, and Bus 12 to the main bus station, both every 20 mins.

Segovia's old station is only 1 kilometers from the centre, but nowadays has only two trains per day. These are regional trains taking two hours from Madrid Atocha, via Chamartin and Cercedilla, fare €9 one-way. Bus 8 runs past the train station to town centre.

The nearest airport is Madrid Barajas, 100 kilometers south - change at Chamartin between Metro and mainline trains.

How to get around in Segovia

The walled Old Town is easily accessible on foot. Most of it is pedestrianised, and no traffic passes beneath the Aqueduct, which thus divides the city. At the foot of the Aqueduct east side in Plaza Artilleria is an underground parking lot (€2 / hr). Bus 9 starts from here to make a circuit of Old Town, daily every 30 mins from 11:00 to 19:30, fare €1. West side in Plaza del Azoguejo is a Segovia Tourism Board Centre, with another in Plaza Mayor.

What to see in Segovia

AcueductoSegovia edit1 - Segovia Aqueduct, looking into Plaza del Azoguejo

• The Aqueduct was built to supply water to the Roman fort and settlement here, probably around 100 AD. Originally it gathered water from Rio Frio, in the mountains 17 kilometers south, flowing to the south edge of town to be stored and filtered. From there it turns and makes its spectacular leap across the valley, 28.5 m above Plazas Artilleria & del Azoguejo, to enter the Old Town. You can't walk on the structure and the best vantage point is at the head of the stairway into Old Town at Postigo del Consuelo. It's often floodlit at night.
• The easiest way into the walled Old Town from Plaza del Azoguejo is to walk up Calle Cervantes. Halfway up, note Casa de los Picos ("The House of the Points"), a 15th C mansion with a facade studded with granite pyramids.
• The Gothic Church was built in Gothic style between 1525 and 1768, but with font, choir and cloister recycled from the destroyed previous cathedral. Open November - Mar 09:00-17:30, April - Oct 09:00-18:30. Entry €3 including cloister and museum, €7 to also climb the tower.
