Acueduct of Segovia

Reviewed By Sandbridgetraveler

We did a day trip with a private guide to Segovia to see the aqueduct which is one of the most well preserved elevated Roman aqueducts in the world. It is an engineering marvel built out of interlocking stones with no mortar. Built it in the 15th century it is difficult to imagine that it is still standing and as well preserved as it is today.

Iglesia de San Millan

Reviewed By mdh2040 - Maryland, United States

This is a church still in use with a very good organ tucked away in the back on the side of the church. The altar area is quite small with three small and very beautiful narrow stained glass windows showing what I assume are saints (Millan?) There are chapels to the right and left of the altar, equally beautiful. The capitals on the piers are different from each other and I believe a donkey is on one of them. We arrived close to 8:00 PM on a Saturday night to tour the church but were so surprised to find that a free concert was about to begin. That was very special and we got to hear the organ and a few other instruments. This is a lovely church that you don’t want to miss. Do the tour if possible when the lights are on.

A beautiful place where nature over thousands of years has sculpted the layout of the river between steep walls. Where you can enjoy wildlife in the wild. The whole tour, whether walking or by boat, is a delight for the senses.

Plaza de Medina del Campo

Reviewed By Jydeoo - Lagos, Nigeria

This little square makes an excellent place to pause the walk from the Aqueduct to the Plaza Mayor (and also in the reverse direction). The monument of Juan Bravo is on one side of the Plaza and the other side has the 12th century church of San Martin

Wonderful view of the fairy tale Alcazar of Segovia from the base of the cliff. On the way you should follow the beautiful gardens on the banks of the rivers that encircle this unforgettable town.In the surroundings of the belvedere don´t miss the mysterious Church of Vera Cruz with a rare octagonal shape (open until 7.00 PM in Summer).

Calle Real de Segovia

Reviewed By Jydeoo - Lagos, Nigeria

This is the shortest route between the Aqueduct and the Plaza Mayor where the ancient Cathedral is. It is typically full of tourists and so it is lined with souvenir shops, eateries and restaurants, high street brand outlets, etc, all mixed up with ancient buildings, plazas, and monuments. To mention a few: Casa de Los Picos, Church of San Martin, Monument of Juan Bravo, a nice view point name Canaleja.

Old City

Reviewed By Craig1961_01 - Middleton, United Kingdom

As with many old cities in Spain, it is impressive to see how clean the streets are kept and how the locals are obviously so proud of their city. It is a wonderful and easily accessible city to walk around with interesting shops selling quality goods. Each corner brings a new mediaeval surprise building to be investigated and appreciated. So many photographic opportunities and simply a great place to explore. Have covered food and drink experience separately on those specific reviews, you won't go wrong here either. Would look forward to spending more time here in future.
