These modern comfortable trains reach nearly 250 km\/hour. Therefore, the time that the journey takes is usually around 30 minutes; before you know it, and you will be on the\u00a0<strong>Segovia-Guiomar station<\/strong>. The only negative aspect is the fact that the station is six kilometres away from the historical centre, hence most likely you will need to use the local bus (line 11), in order to commence your sight-seeing of the town\u2019s antique points of interests.\u00a0You can buy tickets back to Segovia\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.renfe.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">online<\/a>, or directly at the Chamartin station. If you\u2019re buying them online, then you will receive a code that you will need to provide in order to enter the terminal. As soon as your code will be entered, you will receive a printed form of your ticket.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"bus\"><\/span><strong>Bus<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This alternative, at the moment, is the most popular way for tourists, because of its brilliant proportion between quality and price. The time it takes to travel is around one hour and undergoes entirely on the highway. Moreover, the views are simply stunning: although it is from far, but it\u2019s possible to see the\u00a0<strong>Valle de los Caidos<\/strong>, where the Spanish dictator Franco is buried, and the famous monastery\u00a0<strong>\u201cSan Lorenzo de el Escorial\u201d<\/strong>.\u00a0The buses \u201cMadrid-Segovia\u201d come out of the\u00a0<strong>Principe Pio<\/strong>\u00a0station (which is located 10 minutes of walking from the famous Plaza de Espa\u00f1a) and end their route at Segovia\u2019s centre, which is only five minutes away from the Roman aqueduct. Without a question, this is a huge advantage in comparison to taking a train.<\/p>\n<p>The route Madrid-Segovia is conducted by the\u00a0<strong>Sepulvedana<\/strong>\u00a0company, opened more than 100 years ago. The buses are equipped with all necessary features (TV, electrical outlets, comfortable seats, etc.) that will make your trip quite enjoyable.\u00a0The tickets can be bought prior to the trip on the company\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/lasepulvedana.es\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">official website<\/a>\u00a0or at the Principe Pio station at its office. In addition, the station has necessary machines that allow to buy tickets for the bus without any queues.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"private-tours\"><\/span><strong>Private tours<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-4741 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shmadrid.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/16193485811_67aba03c24_b-300x161.jpg\" alt=\"Alcazar - Segovia\" width=\"300\" height=\"161\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shmadrid.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/16193485811_67aba03c24_b-300x161.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.shmadrid.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/16193485811_67aba03c24_b-768x413.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.shmadrid.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/16193485811_67aba03c24_b.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.shmadrid.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/16193485811_67aba03c24_b-810x436.jpg 810w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>If you would like to travel with comfort and enjoy your visit to Segovia to the maximum, then it\u2019s possible to buy a\u00a0<strong>private tour of the city<\/strong>\u00a0accompanied by a guide.
