Short on time but don't want to miss this iconic city? With Toledo Express we take you from Madrid to the heart of Toledo in a compact yet enriching half-day experience, guided by a local bilingual guide through the streets of a medieval jewel declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Just one hour from Madrid, walking through Toledo is like traveling through time, surrounded by the Christian, Jewish and Muslim legacies that shaped its history. You will take in the breathtaking Mirador del Valle, stroll the old town and still be back in Madrid by early afternoon.
