Where to live in Segovia?

The truth that they won’t tell you

Everyone wants you to think…

When searching for housing in Segovia, many people wants you to think that “you can live anywhere” in the city, even in areas farther from the center. Often, this is simply because they want to rent out their apartment or fill a spot in their residence and they take advantage of the fact that most students never visit Segovia before they move here for the first time. While it’s true that Segovia is small and walkable, the reality is that students strongly prefer to live in the city center, in specific areas.

Living in the center means being close to everything that matters: supermarkets and shops, cafés, social areas, and—most importantly—other students. It also keeps you within comfortable walking distance of the university without feeling isolated from student life.

The most popular and convenient areas for international students are:

  • The Aqueduct area (not too far beyond San millan, El savador or Avenida via Roma)

  • Plaza Mayor and the surrounding streets, right in the heart of the city.

These neighborhoods offer the ideal balance: close to friends, services, nightlife, and still just a short walk to class. For most students, choosing the center makes daily life easier, more fun, safe, and much more connected.

Don’t fall for the “Perfect for students” advertising!
