Fast trains from Chamartín
Every fast train to Segovia leaves from Madrid Chamartín Clara Campoamor, not Atocha. Most are Renfe services. Avant trains shuttle between Madrid, Segovia and Valladolid, and long-distance Alvia, AVE, Avlo and Intercity trains call on their way north. OUIGO adds a few low-cost departures on its Madrid to Valladolid trains.
The run takes 25 to 28 minutes whichever train you pick. Departures are spread through the day, often more than one an hour. Choose on price and departure time.
Book Segovia Guiomar, not the old station
Two stations serve Segovia, and the fast trains use only one. Book Segovia Guiomar, the high-speed station where every fast train from Chamartín stops. The older Segovia station is served by a few slow regional trains through the mountains via Cercedilla, which take about two hours. Search results can group both stations under "Segovia", so check that your ticket says Segovia Guiomar before you pay.
Guiomar is outside the historic centre. Urban bus line 11 runs between the station and the Aqueduct, and line 12 goes to the centre. There's a taxi rank too.
Tickets and passes
OUIGO fares start from €9 for adults, with a flat €7 for children and free travel for under-3s. A small bag and a cabin case are included. Extra luggage costs from €5 a piece.
On Renfe, conditions depend on the train. Avant tickets can be changed up to three times: the first change is free and later ones cost 10% of the fare. Alvia, AVE, Avlo and Intercity tickets use Renfe's Básico, Elige and Prémium options instead, each with its own refund rules.
An Interrail pass is valid on Renfe's Avant, Alvia, AVE and Intercity trains on this route, but each journey needs a seat reservation, which you book through Interrail's reservation service or at a station ticket desk. Renfe's low-cost Avlo trains are not covered. OUIGO isn't part of the Interrail network either, so pass holders need a normal ticket for Avlo or OUIGO.
