Madrid to Segovia by trainMadrid to Segovia by Train: An Easy Morning Escape from the City
By Estefanía Ojea
Estefanía OjeaContent Editor and Travel Writer
Estefanía Ojea is a content editor and travel writer who has been working in digital writing since 2011 and focusing on travel content since 2020. Based in Galicia, Spain, she enjoys exploring cities slowly and seeking out unusual places such as historic cemeteries, curious churches, and the occasional slightly macabre landmark. She is particularly fond of train travel as a way to discover new destinations across Europe.
One morning, when I was in Madrid, a friend of mine was visiting and had brought along her dog, and we decided to make a quick trip to Segovia, since we did not want to spend half a day just traveling. The train was, of course, the obvious choice. Segovia, it turns out, is not far from Madrid on the high-speed train, which means you can leave Madrid and arrive in Segovia almost before you have finished your coffee.
Interior of Segovia Cathedral
Route overview
Segovia is also close to Madrid, with high-speed trains making it extremely quick to travel between the two cities. The distance between Madrid Chamartin and Segovia Guiomar takes only about fifteen minutes, making it one of the easiest day trips to take from Madrid. For our trip we took a OUIGO train running directly between the two stations. It felt less like a long journey and more like a quick hop out of the city.
Transportation experience
We took a train from Madrid Chamartin around 10:30 in the morning. It was early enough to make the most of our day but not so early that we had to rush from our apartment. The fact that my friend had brought her dog along made the entire situation feel less formal. Once we had taken our seats on the train, we left Madrid and before we knew it, we were arriving in Segovia.
Departure station
Madrid Chamartín is a key railway station in the capital and serves as the starting point for numerous high-speed routes going north. Even though it's quite large, getting around is pretty easy once you're inside. Since our train departed in the late morning, the station was bustling yet easy to handle. We stopped for a quick coffee before making our way to the platform and getting on the train.
Arrival station
About fifteen minutes later, we arrived at Segovia Guiomar station. The station is not in the historic center, so we have to go a little further to arrive in the city. We took one of the buses from the station to arrive in the city center. The buses, number 11 and 12, connect Segovia Guiomar to the city center in about twenty minutes. Once we arrived in the city, we went for a walk in the streets of the area of Calle Cervantes, doing a little window shopping before sitting in one of the terraces in the Plaza del Acueducto. Having a coffee in front of us and the Roman aqueduct in the background seemed like the perfect way to start the afternoon in Segovia.
Schedule & frequency
Trains between Madrid and Segovia run regularly throughout the day, with multiple departures from Madrid Chamartín. That flexibility makes planning a day trip pretty easy. The 10:30 departure worked well for us — late enough to enjoy a relaxed morning in Madrid but still early enough to spend several hours exploring Segovia.
Onboard experience & services
The OUIGO train was rather basic but comfortable, which is all you really need for such a short trip. The seats were the XL type, which gives you a bit more space than the regular seats. We opted to take seats on the upper deck since it has two levels. It gives you a slightly better view as you leave Madrid, but before you know it, the trip was already ending. It is also possible to travel with pets if you add the pet option to your ticket when you book your ticket with OUIGO trains. The cost of our ticket was 15 euros each for the trip (excluding the pet option), which was rather good considering it was a high-speed train.
Ticketing advice & budget breakdown
Train tickets for this route can be quite affordable if you book in advance. On our trip, the OUIGO ticket cost about €15 per person. Here’s roughly what my travel costs looked like:
| Item | Cost (eur) |
|---|---|
| Ticket price | €15 |
| Food & drinks | €4 |
| Travel to departure station | €2 |
| Travel from arrival station | €13 |
| Total | € 34 |
Top tips & recommendations
- You can check departure times for trains from Madrid Chamartín when planning your trip to Segovia.
- The high-speed trains make it one of the quickest day trips out of Madrid.
- For trains to Segovia Guiomar, it’s then a short bus or taxi ride to the town center.
- Local buses (11 and 12) connect to the town center in 20 minutes.
- If you’re traveling with a pet, don’t forget to add the pet option when booking.
Conclusion
One of the easiest day trips you can make from the capital is probably taking the train from Madrid to Segovia. The trip is so short a journey that before you can even get comfortable in your seat, you’re already arriving and looking up at the aqueduct. It’s a trip that doesn’t even require much planning. And if you’re not vegan, then do yourself a favor and try some of that famous cochinillo while you’re there.
