In the picturesque city of Segovia, west of the majestic Sierra de Guadarrama, your guide and private driver will accompany you on a captivating journey through history and the rich legacy left by Romans, Visigoths, Muslims, Jews and Christians. Over the centuries, this city has witnessed momentous events, and its streets echo with the traces of past civilisations.
The monarchs of Castile, in the 12th century, temporarily chose Segovia as the seat of their court, leaving an indelible mark on the city. A living testimony to Roman grandeur is the magnificent aqueduct built in the time of Emperor Augustus, which stands proudly after more than 2000 years.
From Roman times, it is likely that Segovia already had some form of fortress, becoming the residence of various monarchs, from Alfonso X to Felipe II. The city was the scene of crucial milestones in history, such as the coronation of Isabella the Catholic in 1474, an experience that can still be felt when exploring its historic streets.
We recommend starting the tour with a guided walk, which begins under the imposing and world-famous Segovia Aqueduct. As you go along, you will discover the main monuments, sites and viewpoints that make Segovia one of the must-see excursions from Madrid.
