3 day-trips from Madrid

If you have more than one day of layover in Madrid, or if you have already been before in the spanish capital, a very good option is to make a day trip to know some of the wonderful historical cities of Spain. Next we are going to talk about 3 of them:

1.- Toledo

Located just 72km from Madrid, this beautiful city was declared a World Heritage Site in 1986 by Unesco. Walk through its impressive historical center and get lost among churches, mosques and synagogues. You will feel as if you are back to the Middle Ages.

 

2.- Segovia

In the center of Segovia you can see its amazing Roman aqueduct, built in the 2nd century AD. Its charming streets, its Alcazar and its famous piglet await you in this magical city that is only 96km from the center of Madrid.

 

3.- Ávila

 

Its medieval historical center and its formidable walls make Ávila an ideal place to take a day trip from Madrid, in fact only 114km separate both cities. A walk through its stoned streets will help you learn more about the history of this beautiful Castilian city.

Happy weekend!
