    The city of Segovia is located 50 miles from Madrid and is only one hour away by bus, two hours by train (Cercanias) or thirty minutes by AVE (high speed train). Note that it shares its name with the province of which it is the capital.
    • By bus

      Buses between Segovia and Madrid run once or twice an hour depending on time of day. In Madrid, they arrive/depart from Moncloa bus station. The Segovia bus station is on Paseo de Ezequiel Gonzalez, near the Aqueduct. In December 2007, a new high-speed train line was opened connecting Segovia to many Spanish cities, in particular Madrid (30 minutes) and Valladolid (40 minutes). The new AVE (high-speed train) station is called Segovia-Guiomar and is 5km from the city, with a bus link every 15 minutes from the aqueduct.

    • By train

      Trains to Segovia from Madrid are typically an extension of the C-8b suburban rail line (beyond Cercedilla), and cost around €6 for a one-way ticket. You can board a train heading for Segovia from several stations in Madrid (e.g. Atocha and Chamartin). Bus number 8 takes you from the train station to town centre.

      The new Ave train from Madrid goes to a different station, it goes to the new Segovia-Guiomar Station or known as Segovia AVE station, which is around 6 km from the city center. Take the bus number 11 (costs €1.03, flat rate ), that drops you at the Roman Aqueduct, which is pretty much the city center and a good starting point. The bus is coordinated with the arrival of the train takes about 20 minutes to reach the aqueduct.
      Bus number 12 takes you to the central bus station.

    • By car

      Segovia is 91km northwest of Madrid on AP6 (to San Rafael) and AP-61 the rest of the way north of San Rafael. The road enters into town, from the southeast as Crta Granja (past bullring) or along Av. Constitucion. It is recommended to find parking in the surrounding suburbs of town or plan on staying in a hotel in the outskirts as many provide parking and then using taxis or buses to get into town. Driving and parking in the historic central part of town is more difficult as the streets and alleys are not made for modern day cars. Get on Hwy SG-20 before entering into town to bi-pass the town to get on A-601 continuing north towards [wiki=0cc67c8745a2fe8c27d2dfe68fdb29ee]Valladolid[/wiki] or the N-110 if going south towards [wiki=d85fd8cd2544a360cc3b911df35c6d40]Avila[/wiki].
