One day in Toledo, the ultimate itinerary you need for an unforgettable visit

Right after the massive lockdown in Europe in 2020, I got to travel to Toledo for a day. At the time, my brother was studying there so I got to drive with him to pick up some of his stuff. Spending one day in Toledo was the perfect getaway albeit a bit far from Cadiz, where I am from. However, this one-day trip is one of the many things you can do if you are visiting Madrid since it’s only a 30-minute train ride or a 1.5 hour bus ride.

I didn’t do much planning which I regret because I lost precious time. That’s why after my not-so-perfect day in Toledo, I decided I would put together the itinerary I would have loved to follow. This is what I ideally would have done, had I had a better grasp of things during my visit to Toledo.

That means that I will earn a small commission if you click on the link or links provided in this blog post and make a purchase at no extra cost to you. The opinions on this post and the recommended products are solely based on my experiences with such products and my beliefs. I did not add anything in this post that I would not purchase myself.

Before you visit Toledo…

These are some things to consider before you spend one day in Toledo or in any place for that matter. Just a reminder to do some research before embarking on your adventure.

You will not have time to see everything

That’s a fact. The historic city of Toledo has been declared Unesco heritage and it has innumerable historical sites that exude history. And one day in Toledo is not enough. Think about the places that you absolutely cannot miss and build your itinerary on that.

I have put together a map with a suggested route, main attractions and other places of interest around the area so that you can visualise where everything stands. If there is anything you would like to visit that is not there, just add it to the map.

Research lesser-known things to do

Do some research to learn what other activities that line up with your hobbies you can do. For example, I knew I wanted to go to a lookout out of the city to take awesome photos, visit the Jewish museum and do a guided city tour because I love learning a little about history. So before I started my day I made sure I had all that arranged and planned. 

Think about things that you enjoy when you travel. History? Architecture? Photography? Food? Nature? Adventure sports? There is plenty to do in Toledo but if you do not research it you will miss out. 

These are some cool things off the beaten path you can do in Toledo during the day: – City zip line over the river – Self-guided city tour through a city escape – Join a food tour – Nature hike along the Tagus River and up the Valley

You can totally have a fulfilling day in Toledo for free, minus food and beverages, of course. Here are a few choices on how you can spend your money wisely if you decide to do so and how to save a few euros.

Tourist bracelet

You can buy a tourist bracelet for 10 Euros, totally worth it if you are going to visit 4 or more of the monuments. Otherwise, each monument costs 3 euros each. The bracelet is valid for as long as you have it in your wrist so you can use it multiple days and you can totally reenter all the monuments. I think it is also worth it even if you are just staying one day in Toledo, because some spots don’t take very long to visit. Check here what monuments are included in the deal. 

Free visits

Some museums, galleries and buildings will be free or at a reduced price on certain days of the week, especially during this “new normality”. Below, you will find more detailed information, but if you want an easy list of free monuments put together by a local tour operator click on this link (sorry, only in Spanish).

Well, they are not exactly free since you are expected to tip the guide. It is still cheaper than your average tour and quite informative. A few companies offer these services and you can make a reservation through here or show up in Plaza Zocodover and ask if you can join them.

No time to read? Pin now, read later!

Perfect one day itinerary

Let me be clear before we start, there is no perfect itinerary. This is my version of a perfect day in Toledo here and now. Next year I may feel different about it and you now may feel different, too. Everybody likes different things to do, travels at different paces, have different budgets… There is no one size fits all. (By the way, I hate it when I see that label on clothing. It clearly doesn’t fit people my hight, how absurd!! Just say I didn’t want to bother making smaller sizes…)

Having said that, remember, this is just a guideline so that you don’t feel lost as I did.

Hey, just real quick!

I wanted to take the opportunity to share with you my all time favourite sustainable shoes : Allbirds. They are ultra comfy and fantastic for any travel adventure. If you need to buy new shoes, start here. You can thank me later ;).

• Pro tip: I have recently read that visits to the Cathedral will soon be free Monday to Friday 8 to 9.30 am. The reason is that Unesco Heritage buildings should be free at least 4 times a month, someone pointed that out and they are studying the case. You can read the news in Spanish here .

• if you absolutely want to visit the Military Museum, head towards the Alcázar right after your visit to the Cathedral.
• You can hop off the bus at the bridge ad then walk towards the Alcázar (30 mins)

Final thoughts

It takes a little over 2 hours to do the walking part of this itinerary excluding lunch stop, bus ride to the lookout and time inside premises. Your time at the lookout would add 1.5 hours to the itinerary, and if you decide to visit all the monuments and museums mentioned it would take between 3 and 4 hours. Altogether, the full itinerary would take over 8 hours to complete , which is a very dense and satisfying visit. In my opinion, this is a perfect itinerary to spend one day in Toledo.

Disclaimers:

This post has been written in July 2020 during what we commonly call ¨the new normality¨during the COVID crisis. Travel experiences during this period of time are very different from normal circumstances therefore:

• some businesses, museums and other tourist attractions may not be open when you visit and opening times and rest days may change.
• current free activities during the ¨new normality¨ may not be free in the future
• Availability to enter certain places may vary depending on demand
• websites attached are mostly in Spanish , but I think they are useful for you to check out the pictures and give you an idea of what the place looks like and if you are interested in going inside. Hopefully, google translate will help you out too.
• You can check this Castilla La Mancha tourism website for extra info in English, but I have noticed that the prices are outdated.

You are so right in that you can’t see it all. I had allocated a day but needed a lot more. I wish I had your itinerary as it is a good route to take and the timings are helpful. My favourite parts of Toledo were visiting the Transito Signagogue and some of the museums.

I wish i had done my homework before my trip :). Transito synagogue was one of my favourites too, Spanish Jewish history would be hardly known if it weren’t for places like Toledo or Córdoba.

I spent a short day only in Toledo and didn’t get to see half of the things on your itinerary. It is such a gorgeous city. I hope to go back and spend more time there. The tourist bracelet is such a good idea and well worth the 10 euros.

Had I planned better, i probably would have gone for the tourist bracelet, too.

I’ve wanted to visit Toledo for a while now! I hope to be able to go one day soon!

I hope you can visit soon! It’s a great city!

Toledo sounds so interesting to me. I would love to visit. I especially would love to see the El Greco paintings in the churches and museum. I agree that one day sounds to short on time. Thanks for all the great info!

You’re welcome! I am sure you would like Toledo!

What a gorgeous spot. I’m dying to go to Spain, I cannot wait for the pandemic to be over so I can go.

I know! Hopefully we can all travel soon 🙂

Wow, so many great stuff to do and see! I´ve never been in Toledo and have no idea what to expect! But it looks like a great place to stay for a couple of days and explore! Would love to do so one day!

I didn’t know much about Toledo before. I’ll need to take a drive there some time!

We had a three night stay in Madrid I decided to take a day trip on the train to Toledo. It was a gorgeous sunny day and we had a great day exploring the little couple the back streets. We found a fabulous little place for lunch away from the main tourist squares that served delicious Spanish food. We didn’t go in to any of the buildings because the architecture I’m just wondering around The street was enough for us I loved our day there

Love how organized this article is! I have never been to Spain, but definitely do want to do in the future. Great content! Thanks for sharing 🙂

Sounds like an amazing experience! This is a great location for a day trip and find less touristy things to do. Thanks so much for sharing

I have seen some lovely pictures of Teledo on Instagram and it looks like a gem place to visit. I like how you provided all the information for a day’s visit. I’m interested in the Architecture and like you said, planning ahead will save time on the day.

Toledo is one of my favourite cities in Spain to visit! Great article!

I have never been to Toledo, but I would love to especially after seeing the photo from the Mirador del Valle viewpoint.

Toledo is a really lovely city worth to visit. I have been there twice and every time I love it even more. So characteristic! Really great itinerary!

It looks like a charming place to visit… Love your article and can’t wait to check it out myself 🙂

Loved reading your post! I studied in abroad in Toledo so it takes me back to my semester there. I loved hiking up to the Mirador del Valle. It does offer a great view of the city.

My biggest problem is that I want to see everything. I make an impossible plan but in the end, it never works 🙁 Your plan is amazing! Thank you for sharing!

Toledo look like a great day trip to take! The view of the city is beautiful, you itinierary and all the details are great to plan a trip there! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for sharing!! Toledo looks gorgeous. Spain is next on my list! Saving this post for later :)!!

Toledo looks like such a beautiful city to visit. I’d really love to visit the Monastery of San Juan de los Reyes, it looks amazing. Thank you for sharing.

The Monastery is beautiful! Hopefully, you can visit some time soon. 🙂

Great post! I love Spanish cities and can’t wait to be back in Spain. Toledo seems so worth it, will check it out next time!

i spent a day in Toledo years ago and didn’t get to half these places lol. There is so much to see there! I’d love to go back for an overnight trip, especially so I could walk around before all the tourist crowds show up.

I would totally recommend an overnight stay and walk on the empty streets of the city.

I lover Spain! I can’t wait to go back and will defiantly be going to Toledo when I Do!

Toledo looks like such a lovely place! I didn’t know much about it before reading your post! I think the tourist bracelet is a brilliant idea! What a great way to make the most of seeing the some of the wonderful attractions! Thanks for the great guide!

Wow! Such a detailed guide. I didn’t know there’s so much to do in Toledo and I hope to be able to check it out soon.

Adding in the walking tour to this itinerary is super helpful. I always like to have a guide to stick to when you only have a day to see it all. Great post and Toledo looks like a beautiful place to visit x

Toledo is one of the few Spanish cities I still haven’t made it to! It looks like there is loads to do – I’ll def plan to spend more than a day. And what a good deal the bracelet is – I don’t think I’ve ever seen one so cheap!

It really is a good deal, and yes, there is plenty to do and see in Toledo.

This post is a timely read as I am going to Spain at the end of May for 3 months and plan to do a day trip to Toledo from Madrid.

I hope the itinerary helps! It’s quite intense but if you are fast paces like me, you will enjoy it!

3. Hop-On Hop-Off Bus and Walking Tour

For some travelers, being chained to a large group or chatty tour guide for hours on end isn’t the optimum way to utilize valuable vacation time.

If that sounds like you and your travel companions, you may want to consider a hop-on hop-off bus tour.

This combo tour offers both open-air bus and guided walking options. Guests can choose to get off and explore the attractions that interest them and ignore those that don’t.

Click the link below for complete details and options.

4. Ancient Underground City Tour

Over the years, the rock strata beneath Toledo has been continuously excavated to provide building materials, storage areas, and shelter during times of strife and turmoil.

Now, there’s a labyrinth of tunnels that are truly fascinating to explore, especially for those who aren’t claustrophobic or easily spooked.

Along with their guide, guests will descend into the subterranean world after the sun has set and learn about the city’s history, legends, and lore from a truly unique perspective.

Underground attractions include Muslim and Roman baths, religious and archaeological sites, and wells that were originally constructed in the 11th century.

5. Mysteries and Secrets Tour

Apparently, the city of Toledo is home to more than its fair share of mysteries and secrets, because this popular 90-minute tour is dedicated to them exclusively.

The tour focuses on parts of the city that most travelers dare not tread and gives lovers of the macabre, alluring, and eerie a unique view into Toledo’s residents in eras long gone.

Participants will learn about magic, sorcery, and unusual events in the past that straddle the worlds of history and mythology.

Tours begin and end in the city center. Many guests find the dungeons and prisons leftover from the Inquisition particularly interesting.

Tours may also include archaeological attractions and underground sites, and hotel pick-up and drop off is an option as well.

7. Toledo Cathedral Tour with a Local Guide

The cathedral is characterized by vaulted arches, stained glass windows portraying significant historical and religious events. It is adorned with works of art by masters like Goya, El Greco, and Caravaggio.

The chapel’s interior features polished bronze, alabaster, and intricate wood carvings, making it a truly stunning attraction that’s definitely best experienced with a local guide.

8. 7-Day Green Label Toledo Pass

For travelers who’ll be in town for the better part of a week, this 7-day Green Label Toledo Pass is a fun and cost-effective way to see many of the city’s most significant attractions without signing up for lots of individual tours.

Guided tours of each attraction are usually offered daily. Since the tickets are good for seven days, guests can choose to take advantage of each when it suits them.

9. Welcome to Toledo Private Tour with a Local

For many international visitors, traveling is as much about people as it is about places.

This private welcome tour with a local guide is a popular option for those who prefer to let a professional handle all the pesky details.

It includes stops at many of Toledo’s most noteworthy attractions and allows guests to choose meeting at a central location or their accommodation.

For those who prefer the latter, tours usually begin with participants and their guide exploring the area to get familiarized with nearby attractions, restaurants, and places to shop.

Tours can be customized to fit the schedules of guests and focus on the things that interest them most.

10. History, Literature, and Inquisition Walking Tour

After rendezvousing with their guide in the city center, this history, literature, and Inquisition-focused walking tour will set out at a moderate pace to explore some of Toledo’s more obscure gems.

The three main elements of this tour are inexplicably linked. Along with the guide’s insights, they offer guests a unique look into what makes Toledo so memorable and exotic.

Much of the city’s past may seem romantic and even idyllic, but during the Spanish Inquisition, terror and uncertainty reigned.

Though it’s a fascinating slice of local and national history, it may not be a good fit for the faint of heart who find implements of torture and harrowing tales of interrogation off-putting.

11. 3-Hour Monuments Walking Tour

As a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site, Toledo is one of just a few lesser-known Spanish cities that offer as many historically significant attractions as larger ones like Seville and Madrid.

It’s a city of varied cultures and faiths, and for lovers of old-world charm, visiting is a truly memorable experience.

On this three-hour walking tour, guests and their guide will visit iconic sites like the home of El Greco, the site of the original Imperial Capital, Santa María la Blanca Synagogue, and the majestic gothic cathedral that was built for King Fernando III between the 13th and 15th centuries.

12. Medieval Exploration Game and Tour

For activity minded visitors and those traveling with little ones in constant need of entertainment and engagement, game and exploration self-guided tours are fun and reasonably priced options that shouldn’t be passed up.

This app-based tour gives participants all the information and guidance they’ll need to see the city on their own terms and at their own speed.

Using their grey matter to solve riddles and uncover clues, guests and their companions will be led from one attraction to the next.

For those staying in Madrid looking to broaden their horizons without venturing too far, this value-packed combo tour is a logical choice.

Tours begin and end at the train station in Madrid and are available in English and Spanish.

They feature officially licensed guides and offer several dining options, as well as guided walking and bus tours with audio guides.

Tours of this nature can make for a long day, but for most participants, it’s an efficient way to experience the area to the fullest.

14. 3-Hour Private Walking Tour

For those who’ve just arrived in town, private walking tours are great ways to get the lay of the land without spending an arm and a leg.

Guests of this 3-hour tour will meet their guide at the train station, after which they’ll embark on a cultural and historical tour of a number of Christian, Jewish, and Muslim neighborhoods and attractions.

Tour highlights include St. Mary’s Cathedral as well as impressive mosques and synagogues that have been religious and cultural centers for hundreds of years.

Tour participants shouldn’t be shy about asking questions about the things they’re seeing, and also for suggestions about places to eat, shop, and visit when the tour is officially over.

15. Alcazar and National Army Museum Guided Tour

The Alcazar is one of those attractions that shouldn’t be overlooked when visiting Toledo.

For much of its existence, the Arab fort loomed over the horizon, providing an intimidating deterrent to would-be invaders.

Though much of the original structure is gone, the site features reconstructed portions and abundant displays, images, and historical accounts to give visitors a fascinating look into the past.
