Audio Guide of the Alcázar of Segovia

The Alcázar of Segovia has opening hours that vary slightly depending on the season. Generally, it is open from 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. in high season and until 6:00 p.m. in low season. It is always best to check the updated hours on its official website before planning your visit.

Admission to the Alcázar of Segovia is not free. The standard price is €9 for the Palace visit and an additional €3 for the Tower of Juan II. Reduced rates are available for students, large families, people with disabilities, and visitors over 65. You can check all detailed prices on its official website.

To enjoy the Alcázar at a relaxed pace, we recommend setting aside at least 1 hour and 30 minutes. If you also want to climb the Tower of Juan II for the panoramic views, add another 30 to 45 minutes to your visit.

The Alcázar of Segovia is a monument with a rich history, having served as a royal palace, a state prison, and an artillery academy. Its architecture is a fascinating blend of styles, and it was here that Isabella I proclaimed herself Queen of Castile. Its beauty even inspired Disney’s castle, making it a cultural icon.

To avoid large crowds, we recommend visiting the Alcázar first thing in the morning, right when it opens, or late in the afternoon. As for the time of year, spring and autumn are ideal, as the weather is more pleasant and there are fewer tourists than in summer.

The Alcázar of Segovia has made accessibility improvements, but due to its historic structure, some areas can be challenging. The main route through the palace rooms is generally accessible with ramps and elevators, but access to the Tower of Juan II is only by stairs. I suggest contacting the Alcázar directly at +34 921 460 759 for information specific to your needs.

Segovia is full of gems. A short distance from the Alcázar, you can walk to the impressive Segovia Cathedral and, of course, you should not leave without visiting the Roman Aqueduct, which is a bit farther away but absolutely essential. The Jewish Quarter is also very picturesque and pleasant to explore.

Of course. For a truly memorable experience at the Alcázar, I suggest buying your tickets online in advance to save time and choosing the first entry of the morning to avoid crowds. Also, do not forget to climb the Tower of Juan II for the incredible panoramic views of Segovia. The IAudioguía audio guide will help you immerse yourself in every corner!
