Pretty nice castle to visit. Surrounded by a valley with a nice view. As of Nov 2022, it was 6 euros to go inside and an extra 3 euros totaling 9 to climb tower, which I would say is worth it. There is a bathroom / toilet immediately after entering in the cellar. No food or drinks sold inside. You buy tickets in the building next door on the left. Ground floor takes about 15 -45 to explore , depending on how fast you go. The castle isn't that big, only about 9 rooms or so to visit, plus a gift shop. The tower you have to pay for separately, and you're only allowed up in timed intervals as part of a group. (We learned this the hard way after missing a schedule departure, because our primary school Spanish was not up to par and the gift shop lady did not speak good English). They say it is 152 steps, and I'd approximate it is about 4-6 stories worth of staircases. IMO not an issue at all for any healthy kid or adult, but otherwise will pose an issue. The staircase is very narrow. View is pretty good, and I think if you're already here you might as well pay the extra few euros to check it out. At a brisk pace through everything you could probably see it all in 1 hour (depends on the timing of the tower tour, it is set intervals at 00:15 and 00:45 as far as I can tell). A more moderate relaxed pace will probably land you at around 1-1.5 hours, maybe 2 hours if you take your time (as we did). Glad we did it though, was a decent castle as far as European castles go.

Visited in August 2024 This is one of the most beautiful castle's we have ever visited. That Walt Disney was inspired by this castle is understandable. It is what comes to mind when you ponder the grandeur of a Medieval Castle. It is extremely well maintained from the gardens as you walk in, to the very well cleaned surfaces throughout. The armor, furniture, gold, statues, ceiling tiles, and so many more details draw you in and slow you down to a crawl as you attempt to "ABSORB" all that your are seeing. It is magnificent. Not to be missed. The Alcazar of Segovia is a medieval castle located in the city of Segovia, Spain. It has existed since at least the 12th century, and is one of the most renowned medieval castles globally and one of the most visited landmarks in Spain. It has been the backdrop for significant historical events and has been home to twenty-two kings, along with notable historical figures. The fortress stands on a rocky crag at the western end of Segovia's Old City, which was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1985. In the Homage tower, the treasure of the Crown of Castile was stored, from which funds were secured to finance Christopher Columbus's first voyage. The Alcazar of Segovia has made its mark on cinema and popular culture and served as inspiration for Cinderella castle in the Walt Disney movie.

During the first week of January 2024, my family and I visited the Alcázar de Segovia, a stunning medieval fortress in Segovia, Spain. After taking memorable photos of the nearby Segovia Aqueduct and enjoying a delightful lunch at a local restaurant, we headed to the Alcázar. The fortress’s unique design, often compared to the bow of a ship, and its conical turrets and stone battlements, added to its majestic charm. The Alcázar’s rich history and architectural brilliance were evident as we explored its lavishly decorated rooms, coffered ceilings, and historical artifacts. The fortress has served various purposes over the centuries, including a royal palace, a military academy, and a state prison, making it a significant landmark in Spain’s history. From the top of the Alcázar, we enjoyed breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding landscape, including the city of Segovia and its picturesque countryside. Visiting the Alcázar in January offered a unique experience with fewer crowds, allowing for a more intimate exploration of the castle. We captured stunning photos of the architecture and scenic views, making the visit even more memorable. The combination of the Alcázar’s historical significance, architectural beauty, and the serene winter atmosphere made it a highlight of our trip to Segovia.
