Safety:Very safe

But overall, locals are friendly and willing to help, and public transportation, hotels, and restaurants are secure and welcoming.

Transport:Moderate

The city of Toledo isn't very large, so it's quite walkable, especially within the historic city center. However, the city is built on a hill, so some streets can be quite steep which could make navigation physically challenging. Also, the layout is medieval with many narrow, winding streets that could be confusing to navigate.

There are many things to do and sights to see, which include touring the Toledo Cathedral, which is a stunning example of Gothic architecture, or walking through the charming streets of the Old Town. There is the Alcázar, a fortified hilltop palace, and the El Greco Museum, hosting works from the famous painter. The city is a gastronomic delight too. It may not be as bustling as bigger cities, but it offers a more relaxed yet culturally and historically rich experience.

Food:Above average

Toledo offers an impressive variety of mouth-watering traditional Spanish cuisines. It is home to Manchego cheese, marzipan, and an interesting mix of Christian, Jewish and Arab influences. An abundance of tapas bars and local produce, such as game meats, makes for a thriving food scene. That being said, vegetarians or those seeking diverse global cuisine options might find them limited here.

Budget:Moderate

Toledo is moderately budget-friendly. It offers a reasonable balance between cost and enjoyment.
