Where to stay in Sigüenza

Sigüenza has around 4,900 inhabitants and stands at 1,004 m above sea level. Its historic centre is explored on foot, between the Cathedral of Santa María and the castle, the former fortress-palace of the bishops. The municipality is large, almost 387 km²: if a listing is outside the city, check on the map how far it is from the centre.

The cathedral, Romanesque in origin and Gothic in its finish, contains the Arce chapel with the statue of the Doncel de Sigüenza. The castle now operates as a Parador Nacional de Turismo.

Sleeping in Sigüenza is a good fit if you want a weekend break from Madrid without a car, thanks to the train, or if you are touring the Province of Guadalajara and want a base with a choice of categories. To combine it with the Alcarria, also look at places to stay in Brihuega.

Getting there and around

Sigüenza is 130 km from Madrid and 69 km from Guadalajara. It has a railway station on the conventional Madrid–Barcelona line (Adif line 200), so you can arrive from Madrid without a car. By car, the city has five junctions with the A-2 motorway.

Once there, you do not need transport to get around the centre. If your accommodation is outside the historic centre, check its listing for the distance to the cathedral.

When to go

Because of its altitude, Sigüenza is cooler than Madrid: the average annual temperature is around 11 °C, so bring warm clothes in winter. The Medieval Days are held on the second weekend of July; if you go then, book in good time.
