Segovia from Madrid: A Full Day at the Roman Aqueduct, Alcázar & Cathedral
The Roman Aqueduct
Marvel at the impressive 2000-year-old Roman Aqueduct and the Alcázar that inspired Disney. Enjoy the famous Segovian suckling pig.
Segovia, an hour and a half from Madrid by coach, is one of Castile's most breathtaking cities. Its 1st-century Roman Aqueduct, built without a drop of mortar, and the Alcázar that inspired Disney's castle make it one of the most spectacular day trips from Madrid. A UNESCO World Heritage City, it is also the birthplace of roast suckling pig and Castilian Romanesque architecture.

Why Segovia Is the Most Underrated Day Trip from Madrid
What to see in Segovia
Roman Aqueduct
Built in the 1st century AD with 20,000 granite blocks and no mortar. 28 metres tall, 166 arches. The best-preserved Roman monument in Spain.
Alcázar of Segovia
The fairy-tale castle that inspired Disney's Cinderella. A royal residence for centuries and one of the most photographed fortresses in Spain.
Gothic Cathedral
The last Gothic cathedral built in Spain (16th century). Elegant and luminous, with a spectacular cloister and unique Flemish tapestries.
Church of Vera Cruz
One of the few Templar churches still standing in Europe. Its Romanesque silhouette on the road to the Alcázar is unmistakable.
Roast Suckling Pig
Segovian gastronomy is part of the experience. The protected-designation suckling pig is the speciality. Book a table at a restaurant in the centre.
