Private Day Trip to Segovia

Drive to Segovia. We can choose to drive via the mountains for scenic drive. It takes an extra 20 minutes but on a pretty day it is worth it.

Lets start with a WOW moment. The Pradera de San Marcos is located right at the foot of the Alcazar de Segovia, which rises imposingly on a promontory. It gives the impression of being a ship (more like its bow) embedded high on a rock. The best view is obtained from this meadow.

The Segovia Cathedral, situated in the Plaza Mayor, stands as a breathtaking Gothic masterpiece merging late Gothic and Renaissance styles. Its soaring spires grace the city skyline, showcasing remarkable stained glass windows and an extensive collection of art and history, solidifying its status as an essential architectural gem in Segovia. If you wish to visit the interior of the monument, you can discuss it with your private guide on the day of the tour. *** Tickets for the cathedral can be purchased directly at the monument’s ticket office ***

The Segovia Alcazar, originally an Arab fort, was later rebuilt as a royal palace by King Alfonso VIII. It served as a residence for various monarchs and played a crucial role in Spanish history. Queen Isabella was crowned here, and it was a favored residence of the Spanish monarchs. Additionally, its distinctive shape inspired Walt Disney's Cinderella Castle. *** Optionally, you can purchase the tickets at checkout ***

We will explain the cathedral from the outside as well as the history around Isabel the Catholic. We will then have some free time here with options for a coffee or pastry.

The Roman Aqueduct of Segovia is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, an iconic symbol of Roman engineering marvel. Standing at 28 meters tall, with 167 arches, this ancient aqueduct is an architectural masterpiece that spans the city center, showcasing remarkable precision in its construction and captivating visitors with its historical significance.
