Segovia: where Rome built and Castile stayed
This is a curated guide to staying in and around Segovia, covering the walled old town, the residential districts south of the Eresma river, nearby La Granja de San Ildefonso with its royal palace, and smaller towns like Pedraza and Riaza in the Sierra de…
The areas covered here are not exhaustive but chosen for their mix of accessibility, character and price range. Some lie within Segovia itself; others are separate towns 15 to 40 kilometres away.
The old town between the aqueduct and the Alcázar holds most of the monuments, the cathedral, the Plaza Mayor and the best traditional restaurants serving cochinillo asado.

Food in Segovia: what and where locals actually eat
Segovians eat two streets back from the Aqueduct, at 14:30 rather than 20:00, and rarely order the €28 cochinillo on a weekday when a €15 menú del día is on. Here is what they actually eat, where, and when — and the tourist spots they walk straight past.

Where to stay in Casco Antiguo, Segovia
The walled town holds most of Segovia's higher-end rooms and charges roughly €30 to €60 a night more than the barrios below it, so here is which stretch of it to book and when to sleep somewhere cheaper.

Where to stay in the Judería, Segovia
Segovia's old Jewish quarter sits four minutes from the Plaza Mayor, costs about €10 to €25 a night less than the streets around the cathedral, and asks you to accept slopes, steps and an early curfew on noise.
Before you book
The questions we get most, answered with this month’s numbers.
01How cheap can hotels in Segovia get?
Off-peak doubles in the newer southern districts or near the bus station start around €35-45 a night. The historic centre and La Granja de San Ildefonso command €70-120, more during festivals.
02When is the best time to visit Segovia?
April-May and September-October offer mild weather and reasonable rates. July-August brings heat and higher prices; November-February is coldest but cheapest, with some rural hotels closing. Book well ahead for Holy Week and San Juan in late June.
03Where should I stay for a first trip?
The old town puts you beside the aqueduct and Alcázar but costs more. The area around Plaza Mayor suits those wanting restaurants within walking distance. For a quieter base with parking, try the southern residential zone near the AVE station.
04How do I get around Segovia and the surrounding area?
Madrid to Segovia takes 28 minutes on the AVE high-speed train (from €12) or 90 minutes by road. The old town is walkable; local buses run to the train station (€1). A car helps reach La Granja, Pedraza and Sierra de Guadarrama villages, though parking in the centre is tight.
05Do I need to avoid visiting when cruise day-trippers arrive?
Segovia has no cruise port, but coach tours from Madrid flood the aqueduct and Alcázar between 11am and 3pm, especially March-October. Stay overnight to see the monuments in the early morning or evening when the old town belongs to residents again.
06What does "every booking removes a tonne of CO₂" mean?
IMPT funds one verified tonne of carbon removal for each hotel booking made through this site, at no extra cost to you. Same room, same price as booking anywhere else, but your stay helps pull CO₂ out of the atmosphere through certified offsetting projects.
