Wow, when I went to Toledo I was not expecting it to become my new favorite city that I have travelled to in all of Spain! I visited this WHS in January 2025 during my year of living in Spain, and currently this is my favorite WHS in the country.

I used Hubert's review pretty much as a checklist guide for what to see in the city instead of trying to cross-reference a bunch of different tour guide resources online and in physical pamphlets. I was not disappointed! Out of the dozens of cathedrals I have visited in Spain, the Cathedral of Toledo is my new favorite and has the best audio guide that I've experienced. (You have to download it as a separate app.) I'm expecting the only cathedral that will rival this one will be when I visit the Sagrada Familia.

In terms of things that weren't covered by Hubert, the "Museo del Ejército" (Army Museum) in the impressive Alcázar building was pretty neat, and if you are interested in history, Toledo was the capital of the Germanic Visigoth people when they ruled Spain for a few hundred years. In my opinion, the period of the Visigoths is one of the most underserved in Spanish history, and in Toledo you can find one of the very, very, few museums (albeit a small one) which talks about the Visigoth period. It's called the "Museo de los Concilios y la Cultura Visigoda" (Museum of the Councils & Visigoth Culture) and you can easily absorb everything in an hour or less. It was worthwhile in my opinion, as I'm currently making my way through learning the history of the country.

Toledo can be experienced in one full day if you're intentional or in a rush. You could spread this out across two days if you wanted to take things at a more leisurely and see more of the "second tier" sites within the city. Either way is recommended!
