Toledo is a daunting day trip. I spent two and a half days there and wish I had one more. Toledo is huge and complex. If you have, say, 10 (full) days for a vacation to Madrid, do 6 in the city, 2 in Toledo, and 2 in Segovia. Avila, too, is worth 2 days. But Madrid is such an incredible city, you can spend a full 10 days in it and not get bored.

All over the internet I see people saying only go to Madrid for a couple of days or skip it completely in exchange for other popular cities. I ignored this and we went to Madrid for 8 days... there are still some things we did not get to do! We will definitely be going back! It really is a great city! We went in November. It was chilly but not bad. We stayed in the center and used public transit. We had a bit of trouble with the metro ticket machines but there were often employees there to help. We definitely experienced "slow" service at restaurants but that's by US standards. It seemed to be average/normal for restaurant service in Europe. Everyone was kind and helpful in our experience. We had a difficult time communicating (the Spanish we know is from Latin America, we thought it would be similar enough... not always! lol) at one restaurant in particular but they worked with us and we enjoyed our experience still! We may have accidentally ordered some unexpected things but we just went along with it and learned that we liked them anyway. It ended up being an interesting way to try new things, lol! (it happens to us on many of our trips)

Anyway, yes definitely use public transit! And walk! You will get nice views! Driving might have been easy enough for us to do in the city, but parking would have been a nightmare! We decided to visit Toledo for a day at the last minute. We took the earliest train out and one of the latest trains back. It worked out very well. Though I do regret not paying for some kind of tour in Toledo. But we still really enjoyed our day of

Another good video Tony. Some of your tips I have seem multiple times now and they are getting memorized. This is good for first timers to Spain. You do have a knack for careful explanation. This is a gift.
