Planning a trip to Segovia

More than 30 trains leave Madrid for Segovia every day. Most take less than a half-hour and cost 7€‒25€ each way. The traditional rail station at Segovia is on Paseo Obispo Quesada, s/n (tel. 90-232-03-20), a 20-minute walk southeast of the town center. The high-speed train arrives at Segovia-Guiomar; it’s served every 15 minutes by bus 11 (2.25€) to the aqueduct or bus 12 (2.25€) to the town center.

Buses arrive and depart from Estacionamiento Municipal de Autobuses, Paseo de Ezequiel González, 10 (tel 92-142-77-06). It’s about a 7-minute walk to the aqueduct. There are 20‒35 buses a day to and from Madrid (which depart from Paseo de la Florida, 11; metro Norte; ticket 5€‒7€), and dozens per day between Ávila and Segovia.

If you’re driving, take the N-VI (some maps show it as the A-6) in the direction of A Coruña, northwest from Madrid, toward León and Lugo. At the junction with Rte. 110 (signposted SEGOVIA), turn northeast (AP-61 or N-603).

The Visitor Reception Center at Plaza del Azoguejo, 1 (tel. 92-146-67-20), open daily 10am‒8pm (shorter hours Oct‒Apr), offers a map and sightseeing advice.
