There are two different ways to reach Segovia from Madrid:

First:          by train from Chamartin to Segovia.

Second:        by bus from Principe Pio to Segovia (recommended).

For both methods you will need to reach either Principe Pio Bus Station or Chamartin Train Station. Both of these can be reached by Metro, bus or taxi from the airport.

If you arrive early and fancy a quick look at Madrid, baggage lockers are available in the Airport, and a taxi will have you in the centre of Madrid in 15-20 minutes. The best places to see are Puerta del Sol for the old city or Serrano for the upmarket shopping area.

Getting back to the airport is easy; just hail any taxi with a green light or green sign saying 'Libre' in the window.
