The area around Toledo's striking Mudéjar-style railway station, including Santa Teresa, sits below the old town across the river. It's the natural choice for travellers arriving by train who prioritise transport links. The walled centre is reachable by bus, taxi or an uphill walk.
The neo-Mudéjar station is a landmark in its own right, and the surrounding streets are practical and transit-oriented rather than scenic. You're outside the historic core here, so expect a more functional feel, with the old town rising on the hill opposite. It's convenient for quick arrivals and departures.
Getting around
Reach Toledo Cathedral by a short bus, a taxi, or an uphill walk into the old town. For Madrid–Barajas (MAD), take the AVE from the station to Madrid Atocha (around 30–35 minutes), then connect to the airport.
