- Sdjtravels0 contributionsThe Most Beautiful CathedralThis is the most beautiful cathedral we visited in Spain. Definitely make this a stop while visiting Segovia. The architecture, stone work and art are beautiful. Take your time and enjoy the surroundings.Written September 12, 2024
- ERFSU820 contributionsA highlight of SegoviaA highlight of Segovia and one of Spain’s true treasures. The cathedral is awe-inspiring, both inside and out. We purchased our tickets online in advance to avoid any lines. Happily, there was no line when we arrived, so we were able to walk right in. Allow an hour to walk around and explore the inside, as there are many small chapels and works of art to see.Written September 8, 2024
- Nomad274514822500 contributionsNo English Audio GuideWe paid for the tour but unfortunately there was no English audio guide to use during the tour. Otherwise, a stunningly beautiful cathedral both inside and out. Gorgeous at night from the Plaza Mayor when it is lit up.Written August 22, 2024
- BrakiWorldTraveler0 contributionsAnother amazing CathedralDuring our two weeks Spain tour we've visited some 7-8 Cathedrals and many smaller Churches. This one in Segovia counts into most beautiful ones along with Salamanca, Cordoba's Mezquita and Seville Cathedral. The Segovia Cathedral was built during the 16c and it dominates this rather small town. At some time it had the tallest bell tower in Spain you can climb for great views around. Apart from that amazingly decorated altar, choir, many stained glass,.....Written August 4, 2024
- Shaneen C0 contributionsA cathedral like no otherIncredible cathedral. My first impression from the outside was that it was a castle! I've never seen a cathedral with so many individual, customized crypts and prayer areas/chapels. Each one was so different and unique. The care and money that has been put into keeping this cathedral beautiful is probably staggering - but is apparent in so many ways. Even got to see some of that in action. Also, be sure to check out the art gallery downstairs as well. Amazing.Written July 5, 2024
- 25KathyFM0 contributionsWorth the visitBeautiful cathedral with a variety of things to see, including the cloister, museum, & tower (although I preferred the view of the cathedral from the Alcazar tower, then vice versa.) We were there in early June in the afternoon and there was no line - the cathedral was practically empty.Written June 30, 2024
- JeremyKnott0 contributionsA must see in Segovia!We went at 6pm so it was very quiet. No queue. It’s a beautiful place with amazing history. We also went to the Bishops Palace down the road on the same ticket.well worth it too!Written June 28, 2024
- RuthieMak0 contributionsNice tower tourWe booked the tour of the tower, unfortunately it poured with rain so we followed the instructions to the meeting point that according to the map was at the back of the cathedral. - it’s not! Anyway got in and were given the audio guides and advised to wait for the guide. We waited no one came so I asked and the guide and the other 4 participants had commenced the tour. I am unsure if you are aware as a guide of let’s face it a small group you wouldn’t make sure you had all participants before you commenced your tour. The tower itself and the audio guide was well presented and worth the €8. The guide must have had some sort of block with us as she completely blanked us for the whole of the tour. So in short it is worth doing maybe we had a dodgy guide. Don’t let my experience put you off.Written June 18, 2024
- Robynrad0 contributionsTower tour makes this the best value and most enjoyable Cathedral visit.We arrived at the Cathedral around 10.20am and were offered spots on the Tower Tour. Sure! For 7 euros and 187 steps we did one of the best value tours of our trip to Spain. There was an excellent audioguide in our language and a charming tour guide who directed us and did her best to answer questions in English. She also recommended a great restaurant for us to enjoy Cochinillo for lunch later. We saw a great audiovisual about the history of the Cathedral on one level, then visited the Bellringer's house on the next level. Fascinating to see how the Bellringer's family lived. Then the last stop was the bells, with fantastic views across the countryside and to the Alcazar. After the tower tour we wandered around the Cathedral and enjoyed the gothic magnificence. The tickets also gave us entry to the Bishops residence which was an interesting bonus, in a beautiful building. A great tour in a beautiful town, and not as busy or touristy as Toledo.Written June 16, 2024
- clevekat0 contributionsA stunning Gothic CathedralWe enjoyed our visit to the city of Segovia. The Cathedral was one of three sites we came to see and it did not disappoint. We were amazed to see the 22 chapels and the stunning main altar. We also visited the Bishops Palace which is worth the visit if you have time.Written June 9, 2024
- ANGELOV2300 contributionsBreathtaking cathedralThe Cathedral of Segovia was built in the Gothic Flamboyant style between 1525 and 1577, and was dedicated in 1768, constituting one of the last Gothic cathedrals in Europe. It is part of the UNESCO heritage site "Old Town of Segovia and its Aqueduct". Following additions are of Renaissance, Baroque and Neoclassic styles. It is a huge church (it covers an area of 14025 square meters, or over 150 000 square foot), with a main altar, a choir, 22 chapels, a cloister, three halls, 256 funerary heritage spaces, 161 stained glass windows, 167 spires). Several wonderful art pieces can be seen in the cathedral, and there is a unique entrance ticket for the Cathedral and the Bishops' Palace.Written May 23, 2024

- drmader0 contributionsOne of the best castles I have seen. A la DisneyHave been here many times and I love it. It’s well preserved and a fairy tale in itself. The views and the drama of its size and perch. Don’t miss itWritten May 11, 2024

The guide, Toni, was really kind and knowledgeable he told us loads of the history and was able to answer all questions. The cathedral is included in the tower visit. The views are great and you also get some information about the history of the cathedral.Written March 31, 2024

Lovely inside and I especially like the religious garments exhibit - reached by going through the cloisters. Our visit got off to a bit of a rough start though. We reserved and pre-paid for an English-speaking tour online so it was a bit confusing when (a) there was no one to meet us at the ordained spot and (b) when we finally just entered the cathedral, we were told it was Spanish only. We would have joined any way but the woman at the counter said no. She was seemingly very nice but spoke no English and we spoke no Spanish (other than very basic phrases like: Okay. We will go.). I think she thought we didn’t understand. I think we were all confused. Moral is, if you don’t speak Spanish, don’t bother with a tour a/or worry about pre-booking.

The visit is very well organized. The guide is competent and pleasant. It provides sufficient information, aimed at a level of tourists with little knowledge. The interior of the cathedral is worth a visit, with the variety of vaults, its stained glass windows and chapels.

The Cathedral of Segovia is one of the tallest in Spain. It has a transept and beautiful chapels. It is preserved thanks to tourist visits and even has an escape room, a vision of the church that I appreciate and consider very modern. I recommend it 100%
