Getting around Toledo

Public transport: 

Toledo can be covered relatively easily on foot. Most places of interest are close to one another, though steep streets and cobblestones can take their toll.

The local bus company is Unauto (tel: 925 220 300; www.unauto.es). There are 19 lines, most running from Plaza de Zocodover. Line 12, the Circular Casco Histórico, makes a round trip of the historic city.

To get the bigger picture, take a ride on the Zocotren (tel: 925 232 210; www.zocotren.com). This is a small land train, with pre-recorded tourist information in Spanish, English and French, which runs through part of Toledo then around the perimeter allowing you to enjoy its spectacular location and picture-postcard panoramas. The trip runs daily every 30-60 minutes from the Plaza de Zocodover and the full circuit takes 50 minutes.

Taxis: 

Radio Taxis (tel: 925 255 050) are a reliable taxi firm in Toledo.

Car hire: 

Car hire is available from Avis (tel: 925 215 794; www.avis.es) and Hertz (tel: 925 253 890; www.hertz.com). Or you could try local operators Arexi (tel: 925 233 664) or OCSA Rent a Car (tel: 925 240 870). All major national and international car hire companies operate from Madrid airport. Always park in a secure place if possible, and beware of theft of belongings from vehicles.
