- JackOld Bethpage, New York3,377 contributionsIncredible view of Toledo.The Mirador del Valle is the best viewpoint in all of Toledo. You can see the whole city and the river and it is amazing! You can’t visit Toledo without seeing the Mirador del Valle. It is truly amazing and I could not recommend more!Visited August 2023Travelled with familyWritten 6 January 2024
- RazorfishLittle Rock, Arkansas5,287 contributionsGreat viewpoint of old town ToledoMy wife and I took a day trip to Toledo during a visit to Madrid this past spring. Our guide stopped the bus at Mirrador del Valle before our group entered the old town. It is a great overlook of Toledo and is very picturesque. If it’s convenient for you to get there, it is definitely worth stopping there for the view.Visited March 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 15 January 2024
- Vad A.Maryland112 contributionsCompletes the great impression of ToledoFor us Mirador del Valle was a very nice beginning of the daytrip to Toledo from Madrid. The bus shuttle stop is right at the Alcazar, and the ticket stand is right there too. On the way to the Mirador one can see how the whole town was fortified from outside: the medieval gates, towers and the bridge. At the Mirador del Valle one can see the whole town in front from above (as it was 500 years ago, almost!) and it looks so enticing that makes you want to come in and explore. Beautiful photos from the bus with the town, the river and the valley.Visited June 2024Travelled with familyWritten 11 August 2024

Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Before the start of the Spanish Madrid self-service trip, a photo of the medieval old city across the river, let's decide that we must come to Torres to take a photo, it is absolutely not necessary to repaint, each photo is like a postcard landscape! And the best location for taking photos is here.
Toledo Castle Alcázar de Toledo is located at the highest point, from the St. Martin Bridge to the other side of the Puente de San Martín is a Recommendation highlight of the old city, across the Tagus River to see the medieval arch is beautiful, if you also like the old stone walls, come to a trip to the Torneo!
We chose to participate in the local IBE Tours, taking a touring car about an hour from Madrid.

Toledo has several exceptional viewpoints, some from the historic center towards the Tagus and surrounding areas and others from those points towards the city, each more beautiful. This belongs to the second group and we have arrived on a tourist train. It should be visited in any way, it is impressive.

Beautiful viewpoint to see the historical part of the city with a view of the Tagus river. You can see all the main monuments of the city and click some nice shots too. You can walk or drive there as there is ample parking space.

Gets crowded at sunset, but still worth seeing if you find a parking spot. Cannot see the sun go down, but watch the sky change and the colors of the building change with the evening.
Can visit anytime with a car.

In Toledo, there was not that much to do. Our tour group just went to a sword shop . We actually saw a blacksmith make a sword. The swords were beautiful. Some of them made of gold. A little pricey for the swords. Plus, you can not take a sword on a plane back home. Unless, you ship it. Thats a fortune by itself.
Unless you have friends in Toledo, you can probably find the best restaurants. Our tour was only time allotted for a couple of hours. I am not sure if Toledo has bull fights. Try the oxtail if you do go to a restaurant. Its delicious!

A must see place when in Toledo, the views are amazing! Please do not miss it. By car from the city center it was just 5 minute. We saw that there is also a bus or the possibility of going on foot which would take around 30 minutes.

Pretty sweet view but it's a big shame that the only bus that goes there only runs once per hour. Once you get there you have to wait an hour to go back or waste a lot of time on a long walk up and down the hills. Not acceptable in such a popular tourist spot.

If you are thinking of visiting this area of Spain, make sure that Toledo is on your list. It is a magnificent city of the world, with beautiful walks and one of the best sunsets ever!! We stayed for two nights, only really having one full day there to experience the sights. Highly recommended!!!!

Hola, con mi familia queremos visitar Toledo. Solo podes estar alli un dia para conocerla.
Me gustaria saber que recorrido podemos hacer en el día como para que nos llevemos lo mejor del lugar, lo que no podemos dejar de ver o conocer? la idea es hacerlo pro nuestra cuenta y a pie. Gracias

Toledo no es muy grande, se puede visitar bien en un día, aunque hay que calcular los tiempos. Lo que no te puedes perder son:
- Catedral de Toledo (Calcula al menos un par de horas)
- El Alcazar - Museo del Ejército (otro par de horas)
- 7 monumentos principales (con una pulsera turística por 10 € puedes ver los más importantes como es San Juan de los Reyes, el cuadro de El Greco, un par de sinagogas, mezquita, iglesias de los jesuitas, subiendo a la torre para las mejores vistas de la ciudad). Pueden ser otrs 2-3 horas
- La sinagoga del Tránsito que no está incluida. Pasear por el barrio judio que está señalizado.
- Museo del Greco.
- Visitar las principales puertas y muralla de la ciudad (bisagra, Alfonso VI, del Sol).
- Desde el Mirador del Valle tendrás las mejores vistas de la ciudad, pero incluso si vas al Parador de Turismo que está algo más arriba, desde la terraza de la cafetería podrás disfrutarlo mejor tomando algo.
Hay un par de puentes que cruzan el rio Tajo que también son magníficos y que pasas al lado cuando vas del casco urbano al mirador del Valle o al Parador de Turismo.
Para aparcar el coche hay múltiples párking, pero el que pilla mejor es el de Recaredo, desde aquí hay escaleras mecánicas que te dejan arriba de Toledo fácilmente.

Can one drive to it? Is there a car park?
Written 27 August 2019
There is a turn out area and room for cars to park. Most of the area though is for the public bus.

Would there be taxis available around the Mirador? Thinking about taking a taxi to the overlook and walk around a little bit. I am concerned how to go back to to the city from there.
Written 10 July 2019
We took a taxi from the train station to Mirador and he waited for us (7 or 8 minutes) at Mirador del Valle while we took pictures. We then proceeded to the St. Martin Bridge to begin our trip into the city. You are right that it would be unlikely to find a taxi at the viewing point. One other thing - the cabbies want to take you to the big Yadro store. You can find that on your own if that’s where you want to go.

Visiting Toledo next week. Is there a bus from Santo Tome Area to the Mirador?
Written 18 May 2019
There is a bus that runs the loop around the city. But a cab ride was only 7 or 8 Euro. And they will wait for you. The bus pulls away and you wait an hour for the next bus...

a settembre si fa un giretto e Toledo ci sono delle cose a pagamento e da prenotare? grazie Maura

Sicuramente oltre la Cattedrale merita una visita l'Alcazar dove c'è il Museo dell'Esercito che ripercorre tutta la storia spagnola..un susseguirsi di saloni con armature armi divise e modellini di soldatini..il patio di Carlo V..
La domenica entrata gratuita (seno a Giugno).
Merita anche il trenino che fa il giro e arriva al Mirador.
