    Majestic. Absolute stunner. Einstein would be proud of this Roman engineering. Can’t believe this beauty was crafted thousands of years ago. Just love this city. Segovia castle that inspired Disney castles is only a couple footsteps away from here. 90 mins bus ride from Madrid was definitely worth a shot

    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!

    In a trip around Spain that was full of wonderful discoveries, the Roman aqueduct of Segovia still managed to wow us. It really is a spectacular sight, one worth seeing from all angles. Ascend the staircase for great views backwards to it.

    What an amazing piece or architecture and history. Really, this whole town of Segovia which the aqueduct travels through is wonderful. There are lots of tourists, but the roads and shops are a must see. So many photographic moments and friendly conversations to be found here.

    This living proof of Roman ingenuity will take your breath away. Hard to believe it's stood for nearly two millennia. Stones meticulously placed without mortar held by gravity. Incredible. Make plans to grab lunch or a drink at one of the nearby cafes with this monument in full view.

    Probably my most memorable sight of whole Spain! This roman aqueduct is simply a great pice of ancient engineering. Anyone who is remotely interested in history, architecture or engineering will be amazed by the Aqueduct of Segovia. I would definitely recommend visiting it and seeing it with your eyes!

    Holy moly this was absolutely amazing! We drove by it on our way in but that was nothing compared to walking up to it. My wife and I walked alongside it to the main entrance where it came from underground and were able to see the carved out top as it was waist high at that point. We also say a filtration station and then came back in the evening for pictures on the other side up high with great views of the city. Definitely recommend as it’s one of the most well preserved aqueducts I’ve ever seen.

    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.

    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!

    This monument is absolutely astonishing especially the view at night. This monumental piece of history it is worth the visit to Segovia and all the restaurants,the church, shops and cafes in this little town are beautiful and charming.

    A historical legacy unique in its longevity and scientific achievement given the period in which it arose. It is close to the intercity bus station which is about 5 minutes away. Next to the aqueduct there is a tourist information center with friendly staff ready to help.

    Beautiful town in spain with its iconic ancient Aqueduct. The old buildings in the town are also beautiful. You can climb up the stairs just behind the aqueduct to see the view of the town and aqueduct from above, which is breathtaking. We were there when it was quite cloudy, and still beautiful, but definitely will be much prettier with clear skies.

    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.

    Amazing to see and touch something this old. Aqueduct is a feat of engineering from the Romans. Great views and they get better as you climb the stairs to get to the top.

    A stunning piece of Roman history - 2000 years old and still in great condition. Don't just hang around the main section nearest to the old city - it's worth walking upstream to where the arches end and the aqueduct meets ground level.

  • 5/5 H P. 5 months ago on Google • 207 reviews
    Magnificent roman architecture that has been around closed to 2 century though no actual date been recorded. To get a good photo of it, climb up the stairs from the site of the plaza nearby.

  • 5/5 Tali W. 6 months ago on Google • 125 reviews
    Very well preserved considering that the Aqueduct was built 2000 years ago. Very pleasant walk along the structural on cobblestone streets. And, a walk up the stairs to the wall of the city presents great views. Look carefully at the doors to all the buildings. So many are original carved wood doors. Lovely open Plaza with restaurants- almost all with outdoor seating.

  • 5/5 Cynthia E. 2 months ago on Google • 113 reviews New
    Amazing Roman architecture, very picturesque. I'm sure it's beautiful at night when lit up. There is a bus that will take you to the aqueduct from the train station for 2 euro. Pretty busy for a weekday. I'm sure the weekends are even more so.

  • 5/5 Andrei D. 2 months ago on Google • 54 reviews New
    Amazing it still stands, and hopefully will be seen by generations to come. Unfortunately it cannot say much about everything that passed around during its long life. Not sure it's for us to judge. Just knowing would be enough.

  • 5/5 Glenda V. 4 months ago on Google
    A must see if you are in Segovia, Spain. This marvelous monument is still standng, intact and with great majesty. Interesting fact, it is still used, parts of it. Testament of the Roman occupation in Spain.

  • 5/5 Martin W. 6 months ago on Google
    Visited 13th October 2023 - at the train station a bus takes you into Sergovia €2 half hour on the train from Madrid you must book tickets before travel, or you won't be able to board the train.Fantastic day would recommend booking tickets for this castle and Tower before you travel . Great restaurants to eat and some lovely architecture .

  • 5/5 Sheryl G. 6 months ago on Google
    A stunning piece of architecture where the big stone slabs are held in place simply by gravitational force. Absolutely history around this monument

  • 5/5 Paul Y. 6 months ago on Google
    This is a popular touristical spot for a great photograph. Still, it's a wonderful reminder of the engineering might of the Roman empire and I always come back for that memory. You Will no doubt enjoy walking around the neighborhood and up the hills to take in the sights and to take a bite at one of the many restaurants specializing in suckling, lamb and pig. Vegetarians can enjoy a custom salad with some of the best tomatoes around. Don't miss out on some of the best chocolate milk you can have anywhere.

    Visiting the Acueducto de Segovia was a truly captivating experience that transported me back in time to marvel at the ingenuity of ancient engineering. This iconic aqueduct, located in the charming town of Segovia, Spain, left a lasting impression on me with its awe-inspiring architecture and rich history. One of the most remarkable aspects of my visit was the presence of thousands of swallows in the area during the morning. These graceful birds added an element of enchantment to the setting, darting and swirling around the arches in an almost choreographed dance. Their presence made the Acueducto de Segovia even more enchanting. Walking along the cobblestone streets surrounding the aqueduct, I couldn't help but imagine the countless stories and historical events that this impressive structure had witnessed over the centuries. The Roman aqueduct has stood the test of time, remaining remarkably well-preserved, and its significance has led to its recognition as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. For those who appreciate history, architecture, and the beauty of nature, the Acueducto de Segovia is an absolute must-visit. The combination of ancient engineering excellence and the ethereal presence of swallows in the morning creates a unique and unforgettable experience. It's a destination that allows you to step back in time, appreciate human achievement, and connect with the beauty of the natural world.

    An Amazing experience to see a historical place. Friends recommended to visit Segovia and we too a bus from Madrid. The place is crowded most of the time. Good places to eat around and nice spots to take pictures. There are also many other places around walking distance. A must visit.

  • 5/5 Manikandan N. 4 months ago on Google

    A fantastic display of Roman engineering that is massive in size. This alone is worth a visit to Segovia although there is a lot to experience.

    Aqueduct of Segovia is a Roman aqueduct and one of the most important and best preserved ancient monuments left in the Iberian Peninsula by the Roman civilization. It is located in Spain and is the most important symbol of Segovia, as evidenced by its presence on the city's coat of arms.

  • 5/5 Bernadette T. 2 years ago on Google
    Another beautiful place to see and great place to eat too. A lot of picturesque views surrounding this city😍

  • 5/5 Michael V. 2 years ago on Google
    Worth the trip to Segovia. Well-preserved and amazing to see close up.

  • 5/5 William A. 1 year ago on Google
    This is a great place to visit; while there should also visit the castle. Some really nice restaurants in the area. The lamb is one of the best anywhere in the world.

  • 4/5 Doc MRB (. 9 months ago on Google
    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.

  • 5/5 Julian H. 2 years ago on Google
    Make sure you have time to walk is beautiful the engineering is amazing walk around lots to see not just the aqueduct

  • 5/5 Anish K. 2 years ago on Google
    Too good view and unbelievable structure.

  • 4/5 Jay Moe (. 2 years ago on Google
    It's a little raining today but the tour guide made the best for us. It's not like Toledo. You won't get lost here it's a straight shot. I recommend seeing this work if art. It's the only aqueduct made with out concrete. Amazing to see it in person. They built it to bring water to the city

  • 5/5 Benna P. 2 years ago on Google
    It is huge and very impressive as you approach the old town. Iconic symbol of Segovia. It is one of the best preserved roman aqueduct. It brought water from the mountains to the city.

  • 5/5 Paul Devall (. 2 years ago on Google
    Absolutely superb. Amazing after all these years it remains one of the best attractions and Roman sites in northern Spain. We were very lucky that on this visit, despite it being August, that there weren't too many tourists. Restaurants and cafés not too full either.

  • 5/5 Pamela M. 1 year ago on Google
    Segovia is an amazing place to visit. I enjoyed walking the streets, looking at the architecture, and visiting the historic sites. My husband and I enjoyed walking the nature paths along the base of the historic parts of town. We had a beautiful day in Segovia even with mostly cloudy weather.

  • 5/5 Tauana T. 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful beautiful beautiful construction. Amazed by the age and history! You can start your tour in Segovia here and walk around the city. Beautiful at night too!

  • 5/5 Eugene B. 1 year ago on Google
    This historical monument is simply breathtaking. You cannot help but gaze and reflect on what it took to build. It’s an engineering marvel and goes on for at least 1.5 km. Next time I’ll definitely do a walking tour

  • 5/5 riyad s. 1 year ago on Google
    One have to be there to experience the magnificence of this place. It's a must visit for all tourists. We were just awestruck by seeing the 2000 year old still standing structure. A feel-good experience. Would love to visit Segovia in the future.

  • 5/5 Raymond H. 1 year ago on Google
    This one of the most outstanding architectural sites. It amazes me that it is 2,000 years old. There are plenty of restaurants and cafes in the plaza and restrooms to make it a great outing. Don't forget to climb the stairs on the side of the plaza to get a perspective from the top of the aqueduct.

  • 5/5 Mark P. 1 year ago on Google
    A fantastic piece of Roman technology and build supplying water to the city. Incredible piece of engineering standing intact after all of these years. Lots of information boards provide details of it history. A must see of Segovia.

  • 4/5 Hong P. 1 year ago on Google
    Definitely important to know this amazing edification done almost two millennium ago. So much to explore and understand. Feels that the water system built by the Incas should share similar technically. Goo can visit for free, would be comfortable to have more shading area to breath under the burning sun. How can water in the past not evaporate?

  • 4/5 Rebecca Z. 1 year ago on Google
