This was the most bizarre tourist attraction I’ve ever seen. No idea where the entry to it was, but from the google reviews I have read, you’re not missing much, except the heat. I ended up going to the library, taking the lift to the cafeteria and getting great views from there. Also, a beer and wine only cost a total of 3.50 euros. Bargain!

The Alcázar de Toledo is a must-see, towering over the city with a history that’s as gripping as its views! This fortress, reborn after the Spanish Civil War, houses the Army Museum, where you’ll find everything from Roman ruins to Civil War relics. The archaeological displays in the basement are a highlight, showing layers of Toledo’s past. The central patio, with its Habsburg charm, is stunning, and the terrace offers jaw-dropping city views perfect at sunset. Plan for 2 hours to explore; audio guides help, though more English signage would be nice. Free entry is a bonus!

So magnificent and beautifully built. A must visit for sure. Make sure to climb all the way to the top where you can see the courtyard and royal stairs. PS: the museum has free entry on Wednesdays

You are in Toledo- The City of Tree Cultures, Christians, Jews and Muslims. The history of the city is about 2000 years. Alcazar de Toledo will show you a big part of that history, but you need at least 3-4 hours if you are interested. My advice -take an audio guide, it is only 4 EURO. So many original artifacts from past, they are unique. It is a must visit place.

This imposing castle is the defining symbol of Toledo. Now converted to the Army Museum. Interesting and wide ranging exhibits with some archaeological exhibits too. Entrance fee only 5 euros

The entrance is from the side. It's the military museum entrance. The place is humongous and there are a lot of military weapons and knights armour to see. This is a must see in Toledo . From the rooftops you can see the whole valley. Spectacular views with old roman buildings.

Excellent! An amazing place. Not only because the Alcazar itself but also the museum inside is amazing. Full of information on the history of the place and the formation of Spain from the times before the Roman empire. Full of history. Excellent!!! Beyond my expectations.

You will be disappointed if you are expecting to learn anything about the Jewish history of this building and it is more than a little bit anachronistic to call it a synagogue yet add the name of a Catholic saint. The building itself is quite beautiful and worth seeing but it’s a shame that they charge four euro admission and there is virtually no information about the rich history of the building. It’s also a little bit surprising to see a big crucifix in the main hall when you think you are going to a synagogue that is still described on all of the local signage as a synagogue. There is a lovely courtyard and a nice modern gift shop, but I would say you could easily be in and out of this whole thing in 20 minutes.

I suggest visiting this place with a guide that explains everything to you. Nice architecture and it's well preserved. Definitely worth visiting if interested.

Santa Maria La Blanca is a beautiful monument with stunning whitewash walls and arches in Toledo Spain! Full of history as both a synagogue and later a church. Now its a historic monument not used for religious services. Its very quiet, peaceful, and affordable to visit (about 3 Euro or included with the Toledo Tourist Bracelet). One of my favorite stops in Toledo not only for its unique beauty but it slowed down the pace and wasn't as crazy busy as some in Spain. It is small and you dont need alot of time to visit to see it all. Maybe 20 minutes max. Definitely worth stopping in!

My husband and I visited this second-oldest synagogue in Europe on a Friday afternoon in mid-March. We only visited 4 of the Tourist Bracelet sites so we didn't buy the pass, just paid €4 per person at each. I've visited an active synagogue in Budapest (Dohány Street) on a guided tour of the Jewish Quarter so this was a bit of a let down. The site is pretty and quiet and the temple is lovely, but being old it is small. There is a bit of info in Spanish, but nothing in English. The gift shop is nice though also small and there are benches in the courtyard.

Very small destination. Beautiful structure. This is a quick stop in Toledo.

Learned a lot about Jewish culture in this sinagoga. Definitely recommend

It's an empty building with nothing much of interests. And the management does not provide enough information to explain the historical significance of the place. For the same 4 Euros, the monastery down the street is much more interesting.

I don’t know about El Greco until this visit. I watched the video introducing his paintings and career which was helpful to know him better. I love the garden more than his paintings to be honest. 😆

As a Greek visiting Toledo for the first time it was simply impossible not to pay a visit at the magnificent Museo de El Greco, former house of painter Dominikos Theotokopoulos. The museum was beautifully and peacefully organized where each guest could both wander on their own or be a private of a private tour. Extremely clean and beautiful all around the rooms as well as the flower-filled gardens! Congratulations to the people attending it! Don’t miss it if you ever find yourself walking in the old capital of Spain, Toledo !

Excellent tasting menu. And great value for money. Interesting to watch the final preparations of each dish across the counter. Presentation was great and each dish delicous.

Very nice small museum with a 16th century renovated house opened in 1910 and an addition from 2011 with a good collection of El Greco paintings particularly his apostle series and the plan of Toledo. There’s information in a video about El Greco and the nobleman who funded the initial project.

Great work in general but some letters of english translation are missing on the wall. FREE admission to the el greco contra la museum is authorised from 8 october until 8 november due to maintenance

If you love art then definitely come check it out.

A great museum where there is quite a lot of paintings and a beautiful garden and from October to November of 2025 is free

Iconic Toledo architectural jewel. The building is small, subdued, almost shy... but a key element to understand the history and transformations of historical Toledo, and its lauded cultural heritage. The visitor entrance/center is a competent intervention nicely integrated with the surrounding gardens before reaching the building itself.

The place is no longer functioned as praying place, neither as a mosque nor as a chapel, but as a museum. You should visit its garden. You’ll have a beautiful view point to the city below.

This small former mosque is over 1,000 years old — a rare and impressive piece of history. While it might feel underwhelming if you’ve seen grander mosques, its age still makes it worth a visit. What I personally appreciated even more was the peaceful garden surrounding the mosque and terrace with lovely city views, usually empty as it’s part of the mosque grounds.

Nothing special. Spent 10 mins here. It was only 4 euro but it was not even worth that. Spent max 10 mins here. Given how pretty Toledo itself is, this wasn’t worth it to see inside.

Nothing to see, tiny with a very small garden. No toilet for visitors either. Definitely not with the €4 entry price. Go see anything else in the city instead or grab 2 beers.

In a kind of normal sense, this place is unmissable simply because it is the last physical statement of Muslim Toledo (albeit one that is now half Christian addition). Of course in actual fact old town Toledo still owes much more to its Moroccan than Spanish heritage. Aside from all that, this small site, which doesn't take very long to see at all, is still charming. I love that each of the nine ceiling decorations is unique.

Dear readers, when visiting Madrid you must take a day trip to Toledo…it’s honestly a fairy tale…I felt I was transported to a medieval time, and knights were going to start walking around the tiny streets. It was absolutely breathtaking…set on a hill, surrounded by the original walls, built as a fortress….with the river below. Then you happen to stumble upon this beautiful mosque, one of the oldest after Cordoba…we honestly had no clue it was there. I hadn’t done too much research before we went, I just knew from pictures I had googled that Toledo is a gem. So, this was a real treat…we went in, rented the guided tour, and are so glad we did. It gives you the history from the beginning to end when it became a church…just like Cordoba mosque, it has both Christian and Muslim history. It has a exceptional view as well…with a lovely garden that has a gentle water fountain that relaxes you, I just wanted to sit there and enjoy the breeze….a must visit when visiting Toledo…

Mirador del Valle in Toledo is absolutely breathtaking. Perched across the Tagus River, it offers a panoramic view of the historic city that feels almost surreal, golden stone buildings, cathedral spires, and ancient walls glowing in the sunlight or sparkling in the evening lights. The view alone is worth the trip to Toledo. I visited with my best friend, and it was one of the most memorable moments of our time in Spain. Standing there together, overlooking the old city, we felt the quiet beauty and deep history radiating from every corner. It’s a perfect spot for reflection, conversation, and capturing unforgettable photos. There’s a peacefulness at Mirador del Valle that allows you to pause and take it all in: the past, the present, and the joy of shared experiences. The site is accessible by car, or a scenic walk if you’re up for it. I highly recommend timing your visit around sunset for the most magical lighting. Whether you’re traveling solo or with someone close, this viewpoint is a must-see. It’s not just about the view, but the feeling you get while looking at it. For us, it was pure wonder -- an unforgettable highlight of our trip.

Amazing view point to have a lovely panoramic view of Toledo city and the Tagus river that flows around it. Toledo, Spain, an ancient city known for its historical, cultural, and architectural significance. It is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Parking available, so you don't have to walk. Popular place, lots of tourists and locals. Great place for photography. Level terrain. Free entry. Good wheelchair access.

A perfect spot to get a magical glimpse of the city. The view of Toledo from here is absolutely stunning. Peaceful, panoramic, and worth the stop if you want to take in the full beauty of the historic skyline.

Toledo from a distance. Visit this old town but compare w Segovia. Segovia is more pleasant to visit

Toledo is must visit City in Spain. From old Arab and Spanish architecture , best steel blades swords or knives in Spain. Walk in Toledo streets and travel centuries back

Absolutely gorgeous. Amazing views of Toledo. We took the scenic train and it stopped here for photos. Well worth it and an amazing city just outside of Madrid.

The Mirador del Valle in Toledo, Spain, offers a breathtaking panoramic view that is nothing short of awe-inspiring. During our family visit in January 2024, we were captivated by the stunning vistas of the historic city, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The viewpoint, easily accessible, served as an ideal starting point for our walk around Toledo. The history of the city was palpable, with its blend of Christian, Islamic, and Jewish influences evident in the architecture. We took numerous photos, each one capturing the unique charm of the city from different angles. The Mirador del Valle not only provided a scenic backdrop but also served as a gateway to immerse ourselves in Toledo's rich cultural heritage. Our experience was made all the more enjoyable by the well-maintained facilities and the friendly locals. The visit was a highlight of our trip, offering a profound appreciation for the historical significance and natural beauty of Toledo. I wholeheartedly recommend a visit to the Mirador del Valle for anyone seeking a memorable and enriching experience.

Everything here that we had was yummy but on the expensive side. Pork taco and 2 scallops were really good tapas. They also gave us baguette mini crackers and cheese and olives which were a great starter. Felt like fine dining tapas.

Ok so let’s be clear. This is one of the finest restaurant in Toledo and there aren’t that many. Staff is very friendly and professional. The location is perfect. And the food incredible. Really. This South American / Japanese / Spanish fusion makes wonders. I am just not giving it five stars because I think overall most of the dishes are too salty. We went there two nights in a row and both nights were so thirsty all night after our meal. It’s a shame because the products are of good quality and their taste deserve to be pushed upfront rather than hidden behind salt. Nevertheless this place is a must in Toledo.

This place leveled up the whole experiment Toledo . The cocktails were amazing, it’s strong and delicious (bartender made it everything on point !) We tried the tasting croquettes, pork needles taco , pork and the cod confit .. The croquettes were delicious. It’s crispy at the outside and soft in the inside . It taste nothing like what I had before its blast in my mouth . The cod confit paired the curry sauce are well balances and the fish is fresh and well seasoned. The pork in the hot stones .. chef kissssses ! It’s a great dish to pair with bread . The dining experience was amazing and the man who served us was very attentive and patiently explained every dishes we ordered. This restaurant deserved more recognition. Will visit again

I love love love this restaurant. The food is inventive and beautifully prepared. The menu is essentially a contemporary take on Spanish tapas, but that is merely a starting point for the kitchen. The mad genius chefs here have take inspiration from flavors and dishes from all over the world, especially from Asian cuisines. Service was beyond friendly and made me feel so at home. The setting is like a cozy, well-appointed country tavern. I ordered the 45€ set menu, which included: 1) A glass of cava 2) Delicious, savory beetroot bread serves with volcanic black sea salt, virgin olive oil, and spicy olive oil 3) Duck dumpling with mango hoisin, lime aioli, and pico de gallo 4) Smoked Russian Salad Panipuri - this was their fantastically creative and wonderfully delicious take on the Indian panipuri: a thin slice of guanciale (cured pork cheek) draped over a crispy puff pastry filled with a spicy piparras jalapeno cream. The small bite was then topped with micro greens and flowers. I loved this bite! 5) Kimchi corquette filled with red curry butter, topped with a smoked sardine and micro sprouts. The sardine with flambéed tableside. You always get bonus points for bringing out a blowtorch 🔥 6) Cod confit, battered in squid ink and then fried tempura-style. Finished with braised leeks and yellow curry cream aioli 7) Oxtail Lasagna made with wonton pasta, sansho pepper, and bechamel, Topped with kimchi sauce, basil gel, and black olive powder 8) Peruvian saltado pork with yellow chilli mayonnaise and mint, topped with crispy paper made from potato and black truffle. The dish was served in a heavy stone mortar bowl. This course was sooo savory! So many spices and so much flavor! 9) ”Lemon Pie” - A cookie tart containing lemon cream and lemon meringue, topped with popping lemon rice balls (think Pop Rocks candy), and served on a lemon reduction. So fun, so delicious. The perfect light segue into the dessert portion of the menu 10) "Bad Luck” - This dessert is so named because it's presented as an ice cream cone that has sadly fallen upside down on the ground. Hence, bad luck! However, when the waiter cuts into the ice cream, hidden inside is a deconstructed manchego cheese cake with mango fruit. Served with dark chocolate cream. A perfect finish to a magical evening

This place is phenomenal. I originally planned on going to la cabala (a michelin guide restaurant in the area) but they were only serving a set menu at a fixed price of 88 euros… thankfully I found this place because the food was exceptional and a good price. I sat at the bar and ordered sangria and a couple of tapas. The pork needle tacos and charcoal cod were some of the best dishes i’ve had in spain. The tacos were juicy and the perfect combination of fresh mint, sweet pineapple and savory pork. The cod was rich, melted in my mouth, and so flavorful it almost felt like a dessert. These two dishes were enough to fill me up and I was shocked by how delicious this food was. I will be thinking about this place for quite some time. i’ve seen a few reviews about service but this was great service compared to other places i’ve visited in europe and honestly good things come to those who wait ;)

The previous review from Erick Tseng completely matches our experience at Taberna El Botero. We had the exact same tastings menu and were equally impressed by the food, service and ambience of the restaurant. Our server Ivan could not have been more charming or helpful. And the food was spectacular and inventive. Not only was Botero our favorite restaurant in Toledo, it was our favorite restaurant during our two weeks in Spain!

Fantastic dinner I have in Spain Toledo. Everything is absolutely fantastic. Highly recommended to have dinner here. Pls make reservation. Fully booked.

Great atmosphere, the place is like a cave. the restroom is really special. Food is nice too. the waitress we had was not very responsive, probably partially due to she doesn't speak English. but she also doesn't like to smile.

Beautiful restaurant with an amazing atmosphere. The food is delicious. Waiting time for being seated also isn't very long. The toilet area is also beautifully decorated. The only complaint I have is that due to it's popularity, the waiting times for serving your food and drinks is longer than usual.

The Iberico pork knuckle was fabulous indulgence to end your trip in Toledo. The Cod fish was small portion which should be improved. Dinner starts 7,30 pm while snacks available as entre.

Unfortunately we found this place on the way back to Madrid. It is very busy. The beer is locally made, amazing taste, the food is even better. Very good place. And it is in a historical building, that gives you a chance to touch the history

Food was very good. If I could complain it would be amount of fat on grilled meat I ordered. But staff was friendly and fast, beer and food was tasty and place is very unique and worth to visit.

Beer here is flavorful, well-crafted, and reasonably priced. Generous samples let you try a variety without committing, which is a big plus. The establishment felt a bit understaffed and I felt a lot of stares during my visit, but my bartender was warm.

Definitely a must go place to visit in your first night in Toledo. It brings up the atmosphere. I had even puppeteers greeting visitors while dining. It would be even greater if servers tell stories and legends related to the place where the restaurant is located. Yes, there are ghosts in the restaurant.

The food is amazing. The service could be very good or very bad. Had both experiences. In the lunch I was in a table outside and the 2 guys serving there were amazing, very busy but very good service. Dinner time, we were inside and the girl that was serving forgot some stuff, we order again and left us there for some time then she came back and order our stuff but the table beside us got their food anyway, even though the order after us. In fairness it was VERY busy and SHE WAS ON HER OWN in the floor, looked like she was the only one running very much. I’ve worked in restaurant before, I know how it works. I don’t blame her I’m just telling my experience, I hope it helps.

We went to El Trevor restaurant and had an amazing experience. Our waiter Darwin was the best, excellent service, fast like an eagle, and very attentive. The food and drinks came right away with almost no waiting. Everything was well served, the prices were incredible, and the quality was outstanding. The beers brewed in-house are excellent, we tried both the IPA and the Ale, and they were fantastic. From the menu, La Bomba is a must-try, full of flavor and highly recommended. The tapas selection is also great, with very good prices and amazing taste. And don’t miss the tinto de verano with lemon foam, it’s refreshing and absolutely delicious. I highly recommend this place. Without a doubt, we’ll come back whenever we’re in Toledo. Truly a great experience, especially the food, drinks, and service!

We came as a group of 5 and all left full and satisfied. Ordered 3 main dishes and 2 mixed tapas — everything was delicious and well-prepared. The waiter was friendly, patient, and attentive throughout. Great value for money with generous portions and warm service. Highly recommended for groups and food lovers alike!

This is 'The Bomb' You might wonder whether a potato with minced meat and tomato sauce is even worth trying, let alone whether it could be a restaurant's signature dish. So I was skeptical about trying a 'Bomba'. But I wasn't disappointed. To call this just a potato with minced meat and tomato sauce would be an insult. A lot of thought has gone into this dish; the flavors are balanced and the texture keeps it interesting. I think the potato is fried because it is crispy on the outside, but there is definitely no fried taste. The filling is flavorful. I also had the salmorejo. This cold tomato soup (I'm not sure if it contained red pepper) can only be successful if you have the perfect ingredients in the right proportions. And that was the case. Based on these two dishes, the five stars are well deserved.

Lovely meal here with the delicious Carcamusas and Bomba and prawn croquette. Food was so tasty and staff were efficient and kind. Sat inside so we didn’t have to wait at all for a table. Dined here at 1:30 pm.

This is the most popular place in town. No reservations, just step in line if you want to sit outside. Going at an off hour can help. It’s casual, not gourmet but fun and the food is tasty. We had a tinto de verano and a sangria. We tried ham and shrimp croquettes and a Greek salad. Good for a quick lunch or dinner and inexpensive.

We had the same experience as another reviewer. Great food. Great service at lunch, overwhelmed server at dinner. I too worked years in restaurant service. I loved watching our lunch server really hustle to serve her eight full tables and do it with a smile. I loved the little elbow and smile she gave me to order a pint instead of a caña. The young lady in the evening could not handle the full ground floor she had with about twelve tables and the place buzzing on a MONDAY night. And she pegged us for American right away and was ready to be extra surly if we wasted her time - which we didn’t. Toledo has a vibe like that I think. It gets so slammed by daytrippin Madrid tourists, that the people you interact with seem a little short. As if there is no real city life to counteract the endless tourism they have to deal with. Anyway, El Trebol is the place to go. Great food and drinks, a way more imaginative menu than the usual. Salads!

Located inside Hotel San Juan De Los Reyes, this restaurant looked promising but we're disappointed. Food good enough but service wasn't. Mainly because there was a big group arrived at same opening time as other small tables liked ours. Servers focused mostly on them resulting really slow service for other guests. Also, echoing noise from group chatters significantly reduced enjoyment of our dining experience. I believed a better seating arrangement could have easily solved the problem.

Amazing food, one of the best meals we’ve ever had. Great quality and portion size. Along with very good service, the whole experience was unbeatable. And the wine was also very good, highly recommended.

My friend and I enjoyed a great meal here on the outside terrace. We booked for 8.30 and had a great tasty meal and a lovely experience. I had the venison with pear and it was so delicious. Lovely and crusty on the outside but pink I side, every mouthful was delicious. My friend had the partridge cannelloni, which was a single long tube served with baby corn. We enjoyed the little extras the plate of cheese and olives, the tomato juice and delicious rich chocolates and they made it a very lovely experience. The desserts we selected brioche french toast with cinnamon ice cream and apple tarte tatin with white chocolate soup were delicious. The staff were very professional and friendly.

I was their first customer, and only customer until 2pm, and thus got very prompt and attentive service. I ordered the fish stew, wild boar and cheesecake. All the dishes were fantastic. Best of all, the total cost before tips was only 23.5 euro! Worth every cents.

Great for coeliac (despite the restaurant name!) with many of the dishes specifically available or adaptable for gluten free. Kitchen appears to be trying hard and food is decent but not quite hitting the right notes. Very quiet with not much atmosphere on a Saturday night.

We really enjoyed our lunch here. I checked the restaurant before coming and wanted to try it, as it has good reviews. We never had carcamusas before, so we ordered it here and it was delicious. We had a glass of local wine - Protocolo - very good!!!Our daughter went for kids menu, which was macarrones con tomate, croquetas, and lovely brownie for the dissert. Splendid customer service, very elegant and pleasent.

The most amazing meal I have had in Spain. Service was perfect and the recommendation were spot on.. We had the patridge, deer, cod and tuna belly.. to end the meal, we had the most spectacular marzipan brownie with passion fruit sorbet and white chocolate. Both of us are not fans of marzipan but it was divine. The combination was fabulous. We had tapas portions and price was extremely reasonable. Fine dining experience for every budget. A must try. Will definitely come back..

It was our first time in Toledo and this restaurant made it special. It has minimalist and elegant decor, located in such a beautiful garden. The place was already an appetizer before we even started eating! The staff are attentive and are knowledgeable about the food and drinks being served. Their smiles demonstrated enthusiasm. The food was extraordinarily tasty. I want to emphasize the great focus on texture and variety - which made every dish enjoyable. My personal favorite was the pigeon meat which was cooked perfectly. The wines served were all one-of-kind especially the one made for the restaurant, and the one from Andalucia. Everything comes together and brought us to a wonderful experience in Toledo. And they catered for my friend who is lactose intolerant - despite our failure to inform them in advance.

The food here was absolutely stunning. Somehow rivalled by the excellent location in a beautiful old building. A restaurant well worthy of 2 Michelin stars. The food showed impeccable technique and was creative. The wines unexpected and sommelier was knowledgeable and he adapted the wines to guest tastes. Will be returning.

An amazing experience. Hope to be able to come back soon.

Really great. Deserves it's stars. Food was spectacular and the service was delightful. We did find that even the 15 course menu was a bit too much. Will definitely be back, but will go for the 12 course next time!

What can I say? We ate the most beautiful food we ever saw. We drank (a bit to much) very interesting wines. Staff was excellent. We had a great time. We choose the large tasting menu with in total about 20 small modern dishes all based on classic Spanish cuisine. The wine pairing consisted of 12 glasses. What I found really interesting is that in the wine pairing there were a few sherry's and also some older vintages. I tasted quite a few wines I never had before so I learned a lot. All this comes at a price. However, it was well worth it.

Great experience. The food is very good and devinitively keeps up with the spectacular view of Toledo. The Cheese, Spices and Saffron dessert was certainly one of the best I have ever had. The service is very harmonious and took good care of me as a single unaccompanied guest. Thank you very much!

[After giving it some thought, I have modified my original scoring. While food and table service are indeed outstanding, we would not return to Iván Cerdeno nor recommend the place to a personal friend, so it would be quite inconsistent to award it a 5 score with google. It's simply questionable hospitality to put guests who booked the biggest menus weeks ago at the worst table of the whole restaurant, while the good ones went to locals who only appeared for a very limited amount of time and consumed little, i.e., mostly these tables were kept empty for their comfort. I will not spend again more than 400 EUR with an elevator view, sorry.] I recommend any locals to choose among the many gourmet options in Madrid.] My original five stars referred to cooking (in our opinion, deserves more than one Michelin star; except for one course, everything was totally outstanding, the one course was excellent, but fell short of outstanding) and to service (very friendly and efficient). I would wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant to any foodie. That being said, I do NOT recommend it for any special date. We booked weeks ago, specifying in the reservation that we will go for the full menu, and they still put us on the worst table in the whole restaurant (check our photos with the view to the lovely elevator in the background). Several tables with a view to the city were empty when we arrived, occupied later for a short time, and freed much time before we left (as the customers lucky enough to get these hardly consumed anything). Worse, one much better table than ours remained empty during all the time of our stay. Adding insult to injury, in reply to a message complaining in private about this situation, they told us that thus far they considered our table one of the best. Well, if you are an elevator geek, maybe! Anyway, cooking in this place is superb, and it is a real pity that reservation services fall so much short of cooking standards. Still, if you wish to eat there, I urge you to clearly insist while reserving that you want a good table; we were naive enough to believe that they would follow standard practices, which they failed to do; you'll see the consequences in our photos with the lovely elevator background.
