If you’re going to Madrid, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is worth a visit too! About an hour or so away, one can conveniently purchase a bus ticket at the Madrid Moncloa station for maybe around 10 euros for a return ticket (I’m sorry I forgot the exact price but it was affordable!). And the bus takes you right to the centre of Segovia, which is great. From there, in just 10 minutes or so you can walk/stroll to this amazing, impressive aqueduct, very obviously the main feature of this town. It’s unmissable and even the main street leading up to it is named after it. Its grand and old and anything grand and old is worth looking at, in my opinion hahaha because hey, it’s been standing for ages.

National Geographic magazine's historic city "Segovia" Segovia In addition to the National Geographic magazine's favorite cathedral, there are also "big sink" and Snow White Castle, which are not to be missed. "Ancient Roman Waterway Bridge", also known as the "Big Sink", is the most majestic and best preserved Roman ruins on the Iberian Peninsula and a symbol of Segovia. Only the ancient Romans would turn a purely functional water pipeline into a great stone art. The waterway bridge is still guiding the running water, providing water for the locals, and small geckos crawling between the cracks. The Snow White Castle here is said to be the prototype of Disney Castle. There are many colorful windows in the castle of Queen Isabella of Spain. Isabella is a talented, energetic ruler who has sponsored Columbus to cross the Atlantic and promote Latin America.
