Rain days are the days with at least 1 mm of rain, as a weather station counts them.

Weather read at the old town: ten years of ERA5 and ERA5-Land reanalysis, through Open-Meteo's open data.

A busy month is a crowded one, not a bad one — usually it is crowded because the weather is good. It is flagged rather than scored down, and crowds alone never make a month “avoid”: that is reserved for weather worth skipping.

How busy it gets

Busiest in May, September, October and November; quietest in January, February and April.

Getting there

Fly into Madrid (MAD), then drive. The flights under Where to book are to Madrid.

The drive from each airport is the road's, from openrouteservice.org by HeiGIT: typical, not a schedule.

How far Toledo is, and what it costs, depends on where you set off from — the months above do not.

What Toledo is like

Toledo is a historic city in Castilla La Mancha, sitting majestically above the Tagus River and denoted a UNESCO heritage site in 1986. It is a very worthwhile day-trip from Madrid, only half an hour by train. More on Wikivoyage

Worth seeing: Arm yourself with a map to avoid getting completely lost! Cathedral. It is the centrepiece of Toledo. More on Wikivoyage
Worth doing: You may actually want to get lost in Toledo. Take some time to lose yourself in Toledo's medieval streets. More on Wikivoyage
Getting in: Estación de Toledo (Toledo station). More on Wikivoyage
Staying safe: Toledo is a relatively small town, and so is rather safe. Toledo's medieval streets are labyrinthine, so the biggest danger is getting lost, especially at night. More on Wikivoyage

Kind of place

Toledo is in Spain, Europe. Distances are great-circle, so a short one can still be a long way round.
