Toledo stands above a bend in the Tagus. The cathedral, the Alcázar and the former Jewish quarter are all inside its steep old town. The train from Madrid is quick. Getting up to the higher streets with luggage takes some planning.
Plaza de Zocodover is the old town’s transport and meeting point. The cathedral is southwest through narrow lanes, and the Alcázar stands above the eastern side. Stay near Zocodover for buses and restaurants. The streets fill with day-trippers.
The Judería, west of the cathedral, holds Santa María la Blanca, El Tránsito synagogue and San Juan de los Reyes. Its lanes go quiet once the visitors leave. The stone streets and stairs are hard work with large bags.
The Tagus wraps around the old town. Puente de San Martín leads to riverside paths, and the Mirador del Valle across the river frames the skyline. A hotel outside the walls can mean a climb back after dinner.
Summer afternoons are very hot and dry. The slopes are easier to walk in spring and autumn, and winter is cool. The train station is below the old center, so take a city bus or taxi up if you have luggage.
City buses from the station stop at the main square, so arriving here is simple. The Alcázar and the eastern lanes are close. In the daytime, tour groups make it the busiest part of town.
Around here: Plaza de Zocodover, Alcázar, Museo del Ejército
The narrow streets around the cathedral keep the central sights close. Stay here to walk the old city. Ask the hotel about luggage access and parking before you arrive.
Around here: Catedral Primada, Plaza del Ayuntamiento, Iglesia de los Jesuitas
The western old town has the synagogues, the El Greco Museum and the monastery. It is calmer at night. The station is on the far side of town, downhill.
Around here: Santa María la Blanca, Museo del Greco, San Juan de los Reyes
Stay on the lower streets near Toledo station for an easy train departure. The monuments are uphill, so take a bus or taxi rather than climbing with luggage.
Around here: Estación de Toledo, Puente de Alcántara, Río Tajo
Walk the hills in April, May, September or October rather than at the summer peak. July and August afternoons are hot and very dry. Winter mornings and nights are cool.
The main international airport is Madrid-Barajas. Go into Madrid for the train to Toledo, then take a city bus or taxi up to the old town.
50 mi from downtown
Go into Madrid and take the Toledo train from Puerta de Atocha, or drive southwest on the A-42. Check the departure station on the ticket.
Zocodover, because the buses from the station arrive there. The cathedral quarter is closer to the monuments.
The lowest price among 392 Toledo hotels is $45. Check the address: the station is below Zocodover, and the walk between them is uphill.
Yes, but the old town is uphill. A city bus to Zocodover is easier with bags.
