One of the most popular day trips from Madrid, Toledo is about 1 hr away via the high speed AVE trains. The trek from the train station into the city proper takes about 1 to 2 hours on foot (regardless what Frommer’s might say), and will bring you across the Tagus River. The main sights are also on an mountaintop, so those in a hurry should definitely take the bus instead of hoofing it.

Amazing shot!
thanks!
Fantastic landscape–what a sky!
the view was worth the 1 hr helter skelter to catch the train. people in city shoes may beg to differ
love love love!
