AVOID Visiting Toledo, Spain (Day Trip Travel Guide 2024)

Don't hate me, but certain destinations are not for everyone. We traveled with our in-laws and their style of travel didn't match what Toledo offers. We also struggled a lot with bringing our 11-month-old who needs a stroller and is loud and energetic. I think this destination is suitable for people who want to explore specific historical landmarks from the old town and are willing to walk and enjoy a view without much entertainment or big culinary experiences.

less than 3 minutes to talk about the most valuable thing about this city: its world heritage, unique in the world. If you are not interested in culture, it is NOT your city. If you go to Toledo and only enter a museum that is actually a STORE and do not enter Mosques, Synagogues, unique Churches of specific medieval societies in Toledo, or one of the richest cathedrals in the world, it is normal that you will only be left with that you have pushed your child's stroller. There is life in the historic center of Toledo. They live longer than you say, triple that!! And the city festivals and major events are celebrated in the ancient city. I don't think the video you make is constructive, because you really know little about this city and if you woke up with a changed psychology, Toledo is not to blame.

Thank you so much for sharing your perspective on Toledo! I can see how passionate you are about the city, and I respect that. Thank you for the information you have shared here

Of course.. The thing is that we Spaniards are slow.... and you walked by with the Afterburner activated.... You're still young... And how it will happen with many things, time will make you see farther and maybe... go back to Toledo and you can say you've seen it... And not that you've been there.... Toledo (the city of the three cultures) is a historical giant... Who wants to be there?

I just finished a 7-day vacation in Spain. Started in Madrid, visited Toledo and then spent three days in Barcelona. Visited many sites and attractions. My favorite attraction by far was Toledo with Monserrat being my second favorite. First, don't even bother using your psychology degree to analyze people. Way off. Second, how can you not expect that pushing a stroller around such and old historic site that is so original to be such a complicated task?

so would you stay in Toledo 1 night, or would you stay in Madrid then just take 1 day to visit back to Madrid? I see train ride is less than 1 hr, thanks in advance!

I visited Toledo and absolutely loved it. It was an amazing historical city with such beauty and charm. It's a small city so I don't think anyone was planning on going clubbing or top notch entertainment. I visited many cities in Spain and would highly recommend visiting.

I spent four weeks vacation in Toledo June/July last year. *Stay away!* I don't want my beautiful, favourite medieval town to be more overrun than it already is when I arrive for another four weeks stay in the end of August this year. Or, at least, If you visit Toledo, don't bring Dani-Karen's hopeless in-laws.

If your psychology courses tell you that - travelers fit for Toledo should be "easy to please", "like everything", "have little travel experience" (like me, who only lived in 8 countries and only travelled extensively in 24 world-wide), "not picky about good food" (there are several excellent restaurants in Toledo proper out of the the 14 or 15 in Toledo's upper town (there is even a McDonald's on Plaza Zocodover), if that's not enough, then take one of the Escalators to (litteraly) downtown, below the old Toledo. Its name is Santa María de Benquerencia. There you'll find another 15 restaurants, plus - especially for American tourists - a Burger King, a Kentucky Fried Chicken, and a McDonald's somewhere - then you can demand your money back. In short, travellers to Toledo should be inexperienced people like those know-nothings who included Toledo in UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites almost 40 years ago. I don't hate you, but perhaps you should open up a little and leave your in-laws behind.

Hmm when I say picky about food I mean that some people don’t want to go to a Spanish historical old town and have McDonald’s be the gem in the main plaza. I understand we disagree on many things. I’m glad you liked Toledo! And I think many people can. It was just not a super pleasant experience for me because of my situation and certain preferences! There has been some people that have agreed and other ones that have disagreed. And that’s okay 🙏🤍

Don't go to Toledo if you don't enjoy seeing beautiful, historic old cities full of magnificent things to see, or if you have to push a baby around in a stroller. Okay. Got it.

@@dani-moves I watched the video, and that's what comes across to me. Toledo is a beautiful old city full of magnificent things to see, but since you had to push a baby in a stroller, and since you planned your visit very poorly, apparently doing no research at all, therefore, no one else should go there.

@@dani-movessorry, that’s according to me and my friend that watched this. I’m sure others will agree with you, though. You started off with mentioning your education and profession, maybe to establish some kind of credibility? Then you said people that may like Toledo if they’re simple to please or rarely travel. It came off as you thinking only simple people would enjoy this place. If your idea of fun is being in a restaurant or bar and people watching until 2am, maybe stick to Madrid. Others may have fun exploring and learning about history.
