🚄Getting There by Train

(AVE or Regional Trains)

My personal recommendation: the train is the best way to start enjoying Toledo from the first minute. It’s fast, comfortable, and leaves you close to the historic center.

1-Day Visit (No Luggage)

• Take the AVE train from Madrid Puerta de Atocha (~30 minutes).

• From Toledo train station, you can walk directly to the center or take a taxi to save time.

• Enjoy the day without heavy luggage: the hills and narrow streets are best enjoyed light.

Multi-Day Visit (With Luggage)

• Book your tickets at least 1 week in advance, ideally 2 weeks.

• Don’t hesitate to take a taxi from the station to your accommodation: hauling luggage through Toledo’s streets is not the best way to start your trip.

• Once settled, you can move around on foot or by taxi without stressing about your bags.

💡 Guide tip: Your first contact with Toledo should be gentle; save the adventures for when you’re familiar with the city.
