How to make the most of a visit to Toledo? Nicknamed “City of Three Cultures” Toledo has enchanted visitors for more than 2,500 years. It remains a popular day trip destination from Madrid (30 minute train ride) and here you’ll find a well preserved old town, houses of worship for the 3 main faiths, hilly alleyways, and artisanal shops. It’s the type of city that you don’t need a specific itinerary, simply by walking around you’re sure to find unique and historical attractions. Here are a few tips for your next visit to Toledo:

1. For the best views, you’ll need to leave the Old Town - just outside this area/across the main bridge you’ll find several “parador(es)” which are scenic viewing areas 🔭

2. Wear comfortable and sturdy shoes - you’ll be walking on uneven and hilly cobblestones, so good footwear is a must👟

3. Stay overnight - while I haven’t done this yet, locals say that Toledo is best enjoyed at night when the crowds of day trippers leave and the Old Town twinkles with lights💡

P. S. - to find the view from the first photo, go to Hotel Parador de Toledo and walk onto their terrace

And you? Have you ever visited Toledo and if yes, what did you like most?
