What to do and see in Segovia, Castile and Leon: The Best Points of Interest & Landmarks
Segovia is a picturesque old city with twisting alleyways, the highest concentration of Romanesque churches in all of Europe and pedestrian-only streets, all bordered by a medieval wall and two rivers. In 1985, this sleepy Castillan town was declared a World Heritage site by UNESCO. One of the main tourist attractions is Alcázar, a royal palace built sometime around the 11th century where Queen Isabel agreed to fund Christopher Columbus’ exploration of the New World. The picturesque palace is said to be Walt Disney’s inspiration for Cinderella's Castle.

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.

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).

A great example of a Spanish central square with shops, cafes, restaurants around the edge inside the quaint looking buildings. We stayed at hotel Infanta Isabel on the square and the change in foot traffic when the sun goes down is amazing. Selfie takers disappear and a more ‘local’ and calm feel settles. On Thursday mornings a typical market with mobile meat, fruit, veg cheese etc stalls takes place.
