2025 Segovia Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in August)

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 There is a towering and huge ancient Roman building in Segovia, Spain - the Aqueduct. Built in the first century AD, it has a history of 2,000 years. The highest point of the aqueduct is 28.5 meters. The building is supported by 167 arches. The water source comes from the Lengshui River 17 kilometers away. The aqueduct was built by stacking stones one by one without any cement or adhesive to stabilize the aqueduct. Moreover, the aqueduct has a history of two thousand years and is still standing. Many large and small aqueducts can be seen in Spain. These are buildings under the rule of the ancient Roman Empire. Not only in Spain, but also in any European region ruled by the ancient Roman Empire, there will be buildings that provide water sources necessary for human life. This also allows mankind to see that in addition to its military strength, the ancient Roman Empire also had a talent for architectural art that left future generations with admiration for the Roman Empire.

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 When you come to Serbia, Spain, you must visit the Mesón de Cándido roast suckling pig restaurant to feast on it. Located under the aqueduct, the Mesón de Cándido roast suckling pig restaurant is a century-old restaurant and is quite famous locally. The most special thing is that the boss personally cuts the suckling pig. He uses a plate to cut the suckling pig into pieces and then throws the plate on the ground. It is a very special way of eating. The suckling pig's skin is golden and crispy, and the pork is tender and juicy. No wonder tourists like to order this restaurant. There are several roast suckling pig restaurants nearby that also attract customers on the aqueduct, but this roast suckling pig is still the most popular among tourists, perhaps because of its century-old history and reputation!

#magicalxmastrip The iconic aqueduct of Segovia was breathtaking during past holiday seasons, adorned with elegant lights that highlighted its grandeur. The surrounding streets sparkled with stars, snowflakes, and traditional motifs, inviting visitors to pause and admire the view. Every corner of the city seemed alive with holiday cheer as the soft lights illuminated Segovia's architectural wonders. It was the perfect setting for festive evenings filled with warmth, laughter, and the beauty of the season.

The Alcázar of Segovia is a marvel of medieval architecture, with its soaring turrets and intricate stonework that feels straight out of a fairytale. For a more peaceful experience, head there on a weekday morning when crowds are sparse, and you can truly appreciate its grandeur without the usual rush of tourists. Wandering through its halls and soaking in the panoramic views feels even more magical when you have this enchanting place mostly to yourself. #100waysoftravel #trip #travel #100waysoftravel #TravelTips #TravelGoals #TravelDiaries #Madrid #Spain #segovia #voyagevibes

#Castle #100 ways to travel Did you know that there is a castle in Spain that is the prototype of Disney’s Snow White Castle? Yes, it is #Segovia, a suburban town not far from Madrid. It is famous for its spectacular Roman aqueduct and fragrant roast suckling pig. This castle is #Segovia Castle Alcázar de Segovia. This castle built on the cliff is a fortress made of stones. It is condescending and highly defensive. It was later converted into a gorgeous palace of the Spanish royal family. The castle music festival is held regularly every year, attracting many tourists. It is a beautiful castle. One of the two most popular attractions in Govia. Tickets are required to enter the castle. A special ticket to visit the palace, artillery museum and tower costs €9. If you do not visit the tower, it costs €6. As far as taking beautiful photos is concerned, the exterior of the Segovia Castle is much better than the inside, and it matches perfectly with the earth-yellow mountains in the background. In fact, the old town of Segovia is not big. Walking from the bus station, you will pass the aqueduct and the main church along the way. You can walk to the castle in about 15-20 minutes. The alleys and buildings along the way have a medieval feel, which is very suitable. Plan a day trip and eat roasted suckling pig! #MadridTravel #Segovia #Castle of Segovia #Segovia Aqueduct #Segovia Cathedral #Castle #100 ways to travel

#fallcolors Walking the Camino Natural del Eresma in fall is like stepping into an autumn wonderland!

#Segovia is a popular tourist town near Madrid, Spain. It is famous for its spectacular stone #RomanAqueduct, which is 28 meters high and 728 meters long. It directly cuts across the entire town, and even the road has to give way! When it comes to Segovia’s delicacies, we have to recommend #roastedsucklingpig. Especially the century-old shop "José María", which has as many as 15,000 reviews on Googlemap and a score of 4.6. You can imagine how amazing it is! José María's suckling pig is roasted to golden brown, with crispy skin, tender meat, and is so juicy that it melts in your mouth. But the most special thing is the serving show of the roast suckling pig. When the whole suckling pig is served, the chef actually cuts the suckling pig on a "porcelain plate"! You can see how crispy it is when it is baked. The plate can be cut apart and then a spoonful of secret sauce is poured over the dish from the ceramic jar. It is quite an exciting serving show. In addition, when the food was served, I found that the plates were actually hot! This should be to keep the food at its best temperature and taste, and the details and service are quite attentive. In addition to roast suckling pig, there are also various Spanish seafood and terroir meals. The taste is pretty good, but the business is too good and there are always long queues. Not only tourists like it, but locals love it too! #Spanishfood #Segovia #Roast suckling pig #Roman aqueduct #span #segovia

If you’re going to Madrid, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is worth a visit too! About an hour or so away, one can conveniently purchase a bus ticket at the Madrid Moncloa station for maybe around 10 euros for a return ticket (I’m sorry I forgot the exact price but it was affordable!). And the bus takes you right to the centre of Segovia, which is great. From there, in just 10 minutes or so you can walk/stroll to this amazing, impressive aqueduct, very obviously the main feature of this town. It’s unmissable and even the main street leading up to it is named after it. Its grand and old and anything grand and old is worth looking at, in my opinion hahaha because hey, it’s been standing for ages. A little piece of history and culture, you know? #spain #segovia #madrid #holiday

In Segovia, Spain, there is a castle 🏰 looks like a castle in a fairy tale book 🏰, it is said that the castle 🏰 in the story of Disney's Snow White Park, are using it as a reference blueprint. The castle🏰 is built on a mountain with a wide view and is strategically in an excellent location. The castle🏰 looks beautiful and elegant, right in front is square, next to are round shaped pointed roof, it feels very romantic💗💗💗 The interior of the castle🏰 is also quite beautiful, showing the hall, living room, meeting hall, and also displaying many medieval samurai armor and weapons. And I like to see the scenery from the window, from a high position, with rural views outside the window, open view. The stained glass in the castle🏰 is very exquisite and beautiful, worthy of careful appreciation. Finally visit the museum and leave satisfied. 📍Pl.

In the ancient city of Segovia in the suburbs of Spain, there is a famous attraction, the remains of the aqueduct, which is a must-see when visiting. The aqueduct was built in the first century AD and is supported by 167 arches to transport water. But by the 20th century, due to automobile pollution and erosion of the granite, cars were banned from the square and it is now a pedestrian zone. Walking forward from the bus station, you will soon see a very long and magnificent aqueduct. You can also go up along the stairs on the side and enjoy the view from a high place. The scenery is very beautiful. It is recommended to travel to Madrid, and it is definitely worth making a day to visit Segovia. Address: Plaza del Azoguejo 1, 40001, Segovia, Spain #Overseas Travel #SpainTravel #Segovia

#外游 Segovia Cathedral is a 16th century Gothic building. The most different from the Gothic buildings I have seen before is that there are many small spires here. The interior of the cathedral is very gorgeous, with detailed carvings, and some holy relics are preserved in the church, so it is worth paying to visit the cathedral. #Overseas Travel

#外游 In addition to the famous suckling pig in northern Spain, Segovia also has a thousand-year-old Roman aqueduct. You can walk around the old town and visit the Segovia Castle, which is known as the prototype of Disney's Snow White Castle. The castle costs money, but it's worth it because the view after climbing the tower is open and beautiful. #外游

#CityTrip #Spain #Segovia A city where I only remember eating delicious roasted suckling pig and walking around for half a day with ice cream in one hand. Mucho Gracias as a fellow human being to my ancestors who left behind such a functional city. Spain is really cheap, but I only have good memories. The air is good, the wine is delicious, and the people are positive, lazy, slow, and stuffy. #CityTrip
