Amazing feat of engineering. Still very much intact. If you start just down from the bullring, you can walk alongside the Aquaduct into town. Then you can walk up steps on the opposite end of the square to the top if the aquaduct. Mid afternoon you can get photos of the sun shining through the arches.
No doubt, this is one of the top 3 sites not to miss in Segovia.
Although I'd strongly recommend to visit the Alcazar and the Cathedral first and leaving the aqueduct for the end, before taking the bus (11,12) back to the train station.
The old city is off course charming and to reach those landmarks you'll stroll in the narrow medieval streets and enjoy its special atmosphere.
With Toledo, it is definitely the best day trip from Madrid!

I was absolutely mesmerized by the aqueducts of Segovia during my recent visit. The grandeur of this ancient engineering marvel is truly awe-inspiring. The precision with which the massive granite blocks fit together, creating a bridge that has stood the test of time for centuries, left me speechless. The history and significance of the aqueducts, dating back to Roman times, added an extra layer of fascination. The sight of water flowing through these arches, standing tall against the backdrop of the city, is a sight to behold. Whether you're a history buff or simply someone who appreciates architectural wonders, the aqueducts of Segovia are an absolute must-see.
We took a day trip to both Toledo and Segovia, and between the two of them, we much preferred Segovia. The aqueduct is massive, much bigger than I expected, and creates a striking image with the town scenery in the background. There are no entrance fees or lines necessary, and many restaurants are available around the aqueduct. Overall, the aqueduct is what makes Segovia unique (and my personal favorite day trip from Madrid). If you visit Segovia, it's impossible to miss--also because it's the first thing we saw when we drove up.
If you are in Segovia, you cannot miss a stop at the aqueduct. It is an amazing structure, definitely worth the visit. We were in town late June during the festival of St. Peter. There was a lot of activity around the area of the aqueduct. Either way , make sure you don't miss out on this experience. Enjoy y'all!
Truly fascinating it was still standing up today. 16km of marvelous architecture built centuries ago. It's now a tourist attraction here in Segovia, Spain. The actual city was kept in its original form and structure, with some retouches to restore the Grandeur it was. Don't leave Madrid without visiting this site in just more than an hour's drive from the city center.
I went with a tour as a day trip from Madrid (Its called Fun and Tickets and I Highly Recommend) and we had the best tour guide ever; Rodriguez. The aqueduct is free to visit and very well maintained. We had come from the castle and it was just amazing to see how far the aqueduct supplied water (17km!!). I loved just being in the presence of this awe inspiring display of Roman engineering from the 1st Century. Overall, I highly recommend!
The Aqueduct of Segovia is a testament to the ingenuity and grandeur of ancient Roman engineering. It stretches over 800 meters, composed of 166 arches, and has remained remarkably intact despite centuries of weathering and the passage of time. Its commanding presence and interplay of light and shadow create a mesmerizing visual spectacle. The Aqueduct of Segovia is one of the most significant and awe-inspiring historical sites in Spain. Its grandeur, architectural brilliance, and remarkable preservation make it an essential destination for anyone seeking to explore the wonders of the ancient world. Climbing to the top of the aqueduct offers breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside and the city of Segovia.
