AVOID Visiting Toledo, Spain (Day Trip Travel Guide 2024)
HTML-код

- Please don't hate me, but certain destinations are not for everyone. We struggled a lot with bringing our 11-month-old who needs a stroller and is loud and energetic. I think this destination is suitable for people who want to explore specific historical landmarks from the old town and are willing to walk and enjoy a view without much entertainment or big culinary experiences.

Don't hate me, but certain destinations are not for everyone. Agree?
Get over yourself go back to America
Yes, agreed! The locals are not friendly, public transports are jam-packed, over priced for souveniers, etc. Anddddd.....you can see Grafitti everywhere. They literally spray everything!
It sounds like you could have saved hours of disappointment by doing five minutes of research before going to Toledo.
You have a point!! Also maybe without a baby and without forcing a good restaurant experience
less than 3 minutes to talk about the most valuable thing about this city: its world heritage, unique in the world. If you are not interested in culture, it is NOT your city. If you go to Toledo and only enter a museum that is actually a STORE and do not enter Mosques, Synagogues, unique Churches of specific medieval societies in Toledo, or one of the richest cathedrals in the world, it is normal that you will only be left with that you have pushed your child's stroller.
There is life in the historic center of Toledo. They live longer than you say, triple that!! And the city festivals and major events are celebrated in the ancient city.
I don't think the video you make is constructive, because you really know little about this city and if you woke up with a changed psychology, Toledo is not to blame.
Thank you so much for sharing your perspective on Toledo! I can see how passionate you are about the city, and I respect that. Thank you for the information you have shared here
Totally disagree with most of your views on Toledo it's absolutely stunningly beautiful. Steeped in history and has loads of great food/restuarants
Im sorry :( I am sharing an opinion based on the experience ew had. But many things influence that experience. Maybe in another circumstance I would have enjoyed it more!
@@dani-moves *Never* bring your in-laws unless they share exactly your views on medieval towns.
I just finished a 7-day vacation in Spain. Started in Madrid, visited Toledo and then spent three days in Barcelona. Visited many sites and attractions. My favorite attraction by far was Toledo with Monserrat being my second favorite. First, don't even bother using your psychology degree to analyze people. Way off. Second, how can you not expect that pushing a stroller around such and old historic site that is so original to be such a complicated task?
I am glad you liked Toledo! I think it's a good place to visit except if you have certain circumstances and taste :) Thank you for your input, George, I appreciate you taking the time to comment!
so would you stay in Toledo 1 night, or would you stay in Madrid then just take 1 day to visit back to Madrid? I see train ride is less than 1 hr, thanks in advance!
Of course.. The thing is that we Spaniards are slow.... and you walked by with the Afterburner activated.... You're still young... And how it will happen with many things, time will make you see farther and maybe... go back to Toledo and you can say you've seen it... And not that you've been there.... Toledo (the city of the three cultures) is a historical giant... Who wants to be there?
You make a good point here! Thanks for your input
I apologize on behalf of the citizens of the United States. We are not all like this.
@@joesmith1946😂😂😂😂 best comment
Sorry but you name your video 'Avoid Toledo'. I'm going to avoid your bad takes!
Sorry you feel that way :(
This video was extremely helpful. I think Toledo is a place that I would like. I’m looking for a very old world feel. I’m into architecture, art, and history. Even though it seems I would enjoy Toledo, I really appreciate hearing your perspective and the list of cons.
Thanks so much for your kind words! I'm really glad you found the video helpful. It's great to hear you appreciate the pros and cons I shared
Just got back from Toledo and Madrid. Loved Toledo. Will go again. Was there July 3, 2024. Weather and Temperature was perfect. It's a UNESCO world heritage site. Wonderful.
im glad you had a great time
It sounds like you missed out on all the things that make Toledo, Toledo. We recently switched from a stroller to a hiking backpack for our 1yr old. Its a game changer! Highly reccomend it so the stroller doesnt slow you all down. Plus it seems to make kids think they are walking. Our kiddo is the same way! Has to be moving 24/7, but in the hiking carrier he is perfectly fine.
I think you’re right :( it’s possible! Thank you for the recommendations!
I visited Toledo and absolutely loved it. It was an amazing historical city with such beauty and charm. It's a small city so I don't think anyone was planning on going clubbing or top notch entertainment. I visited many cities in Spain and would highly recommend visiting.
This is very true! I appreciate your feedback 🙏
If your psychology courses tell you that - travelers fit for Toledo should be "easy to please", "like everything", "have little travel experience" (like me, who only lived in 8 countries and only travelled extensively in 24 world-wide), "not picky about good food" (there are several excellent restaurants in Toledo proper out of the the 14 or 15 in Toledo's upper town (there is even a McDonald's on Plaza Zocodover), if that's not enough, then take one of the Escalators to (litteraly) downtown, below the old Toledo. Its name is Santa María de Benquerencia. There you'll find another 15 restaurants, plus - especially for American tourists - a Burger King, a Kentucky Fried Chicken, and a McDonald's somewhere - then you can demand your money back.
In short, travellers to Toledo should be inexperienced people like those know-nothings who included Toledo in UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites almost 40 years ago.
I don't hate you, but perhaps you should open up a little and leave your in-laws behind.
Youre THIS mad that Toledo is boring and sucks? lol sheesh
@@nickofjupiter It is spelled *sad*
The title should have been "Avoid bringing small children in strollers to Toledo", which is what it's all about.
@@albertnielsen1154 that was just one aspect form our point or view yes but she explained her position
Hmm when I say picky about food I mean that some people don’t want to go to a Spanish historical old town and have McDonald’s be the gem in the main plaza. I understand we disagree on many things. I’m glad you liked Toledo! And I think many people can. It was just not a super pleasant experience for me because of my situation and certain preferences! There has been some people that have agreed and other ones that have disagreed. And that’s okay 🙏🤍
I spent four weeks vacation in Toledo June/July last year.
*Stay away!*
I don't want my beautiful, favourite medieval town to be more overrun than it already is when I arrive for another four weeks stay in the end of August this year.
Or, at least, If you visit Toledo, don't bring Dani-Karen's hopeless in-laws.
lol 😂 I don’t appreciate being called a Karen. I consider myself quite sweet actually!
Thanks, I was told a few years ago that I should not go because I was with someone with a wheelchair. I am glad i did not go. Now later this year I will go with friends with good walking shoes who love history and El Greco as a day trip.
It can be nice to visit. I just think there are other things you can do in Spain that are funner :)
I have been to Toledo twice and I would go again just to see El Greco's Burial of Count Orgaz in Sto. Tomas. I never tire of that magnificent painting. Read up on the painting before you go see it to fully appreciate its mastery. That alone is worth the trip, Also the Transparencia in the Catedral is not to be missed if you want to see baroque are in all it's 3-d glory. But no, I wouldn't enjoy old-town Toledo with a baby in a stroller I'd be afraid the baby would fall on the steep narrow cobbled streets or get hit by a car. But for people who love art and architecture Toledo is heaven. Buy the wristband for like 12 euros and you can get into a whole bunch of historic sites and the wristband is good for 24 hours, too. I agree in the old town you have to do your homework if you want to eat well. It's best to focus on what a place does well if you want the best experience. In Toledo, we decided to look traditional foods of the region (venison, partridge, trout, other rustic foods) in a traditional style restaurant away from the main square. It was awesome for that. Toledo is not a nightlife spot. But no place needs to be all things to all people.
Hello, thank you so much for this video. Keep posting!!! We are on a 9 night trip to Spain, starting from Madrid and ending at Madrid. Can you suggest me the best cities to visit in these 9 days in the right order.
Thanks for liking it! Hmm.. I would say: Madrid > cordoba, Sevilla, Marbella, Malaga, Granada, Valencia, madrid. That’s the right order trip-wise
Thanks for the honest review! I think we'll spend more time in Seville next week instead of leaving early to see Toledo now
Thank you! I think Sevilla is worth the trip 100%! Very fun!
How is it during early December?
Not sure 🤔
I just returned from a two week trip to Europe visiting 7 different countries with a group of 24 people. Toledo was our last stop and one of the groups favorite places we visited! Please check it out for yourself. I love Toledo and have been there 6 times! It is so full of culture, beauty and history! The cathederal is my favorite of any other I've visited throughout Europe. I encourage you to go beyond the Store Museum and get off the tourist route. There is a fun train ride that takes you around the city for some amzing views. We ziplinned across the river next to the San Martin Bridge which had breathtaking views and shopped and ate in restaurants off the tourist path. I think pushing a stroller with a young child would be difficult on the narrow cobble stone streets and pehaps clouded your appreciation for this beautiful and amazing city! Please give Toledo a chance - one of my favorite places!
Hi! Thank you so much for sharing your experience with me. I think you make a fair point and it’s what I tried to emphasize. I think Toledo is just not for everyone. It was so hard to enjoy with a stroller. We will try again when the kids are older!
wow, the opposite is my suggestion, for me Toledo cannot be missed in a visit to Spain.....is an essential spot to see.....
Many people say that!!
Toledo is a must to see, don’t miss it. Spend a night there. Watch the video from Attaché Travels about Toledo. After Toledo jump to Segovia. ❤
Aww I know. I have tu go back and get a corrective experience
This might be the worst and most uncultured american take I've ever had the unpleasant experience to listen to
Oops :( sorry you feel that wsy
Sorry you feel that way :(
I appreciate your honesty Dani!
thank you
In my research I was finding Toledo boring I'm really glad I saw this video because it is not for me
Some cities are not for everyone! That’s for sure!
in europe they are found numerous similar museums, it's not about tradition itself, they pretend to be against modernity, folk culture is strongly considered, be prepared for that, you described a typical provincial town like many
also I guess is hard for Americans (not only from us) to understand the European mentality. Maybe not try to put everything on a competition plan. A expediency comparison. In general they walk a lot, and have difficulty to visit something with a value it's worth it
I want to open one more topic. If you noticed such an aversion between comments it's because, even if americans are perfectly aware about life in province, something seems to turn off when it arrives to tourist's locations. They tend to have a big customer experience attitude. Unfortunately this not only gives you disappoint, but also sounds like a blasphemy for locals. The reason is to desire that everything would work as a shopping centre, a mall, makes you easily be hated.
You make a good point
You’re right!
lol you’re actually right! It’s true!
Perhaps you would be better staying in the shopping malls of America
Or at the beach 🥰😍
You totalky sold me on Toledo. I will check your channel for places you like so I know where not to go.
Hahahahah 🤣
Everyone is intitled to their own opinion. You spoke your truth and did say a bit of the other side as well.
As a person from Toledo I kinda feel offended…
Sorry, I think my message got misunderstood
@@dani-movesthe old town is where not too many people live
In other places of Toledo there are better restaurants and places where concerts and parties are held but don’t expect everything to be held in the old town (if you know what I mean)
Don't go to Toledo if you don't enjoy seeing beautiful, historic old cities full of magnificent things to see, or if you have to push a baby around in a stroller.
Okay. Got it.
:( this is not what I meant
@@dani-moves I watched the video, and that's what comes across to me. Toledo is a beautiful old city full of magnificent things to see, but since you had to push a baby in a stroller, and since you planned your visit very poorly, apparently doing no research at all, therefore, no one else should go there.
She went to Toledo in searching for fancy restaurant. Say no more.
lol I made a mistake!
Super passive aggressive comments at the beginning. Basically: if you’re an easy to please idiot that’s easily impressed, you might like this. In reality, I think the historical significance of the place, especially for certain ethnic groups, went right over her head.
That’s not what I meant. Sorry you’re seeing it that way!
UNESCO sites like Toledo or Segovia are perfect daytrips, it's not a place where people go to have a party LOL it's not a city like Madrid or Barcelona, obviously not, so it's just about knowing where you're going?
I think your remarks about "someone who is easy to please" (people who like literature and history are easy to please??) or "someone who is not picky about good food and aesthetics" are quite offensive. How is a historical UNESCO site not aesthetic?
You make great points. I agree. I think we were looking for the wrong features of entertainment. It’s hard sometimes to travel as a family and have to please different personalities at a city that offers one thing and not the other you know? I agree that madrid and Barcelona can offer that more electric scene with restaurants and vibrance and people moving and having fun. That is not Toledo. It doesn’t mean that Toledo sucks, of course. It’s just not the place for certain people or people with certain situations. Toledo’s old town is indeed beautiful and unique.
The uniformity of the commenting here is shocking. Why do we as a community take any stock in youtube comments anymore? How is it that nearly all of the commenters are of the same mind?
I’m curious about that too 😂. What’s your opinion on this video?
@@dani-moves I have not been to Toledo but I recognize that you did acknowledge the history and beauty, and you made an attempt to be balanced. Even when you mentioned aspects of Toledo you disliked, you did so as politely as possible and with the caveat that you were traveling with a baby. I did not find anything you said offensive while I also would say that our travel styles (I am a single guy with no kids and a penchant for history and architecture) are probably quite different, so I would not say your opinion would motivate me one way or another... but nor did it anger me! Please keep in mind that many if not most comments on certain videos are from troll farms or people with agendas. I am not sure what their exact purpose is, except to sow division, but you have done nothing wrong here 🙂
Did not - will not watch the clip
Came just to give a thumbs down.
Criminal telling people not to go to Toledo Spain, such a beautiful, magical place.
Ugh sorry you feel that way. I explained why it wasn’t a good experience
Your video is bizarre and conflicted. Essentially, you're advising viewers to randomly choose mediocre restaurants, and be prepared for disappointment when visiting a UNESCO Heritage city instead of a shopping mall and nightclubs? SMH
That’s not what I meant /: sorry you took it thar way
Too late, been there! Really over rated town. Not very welcome locals. Public transports are jam-packed. DON'T GO THERE GUYS!!!!
:(
Total bullshit. Toledo is great.
😔
Wow, one of the most interesting cities in the world from a historical perspective (and more) and you recommend to avoid it. Wow!
So I'm gonna recommend to avoid this channel!
Sorry 😞
Do the exact opposite of what was said in this video
That’s fair!
What a superficial bias!
Ooops
You come off pompous
hhmmm
@@dani-movessorry, that’s according to me and my friend that watched this. I’m sure others will agree with you, though.
You started off with mentioning your education and profession, maybe to establish some kind of credibility?
Then you said people that may like Toledo if they’re simple to please or rarely travel. It came off as you thinking only simple people would enjoy this place.
If your idea of fun is being in a restaurant or bar and people watching until 2am, maybe stick to Madrid.
Others may have fun exploring and learning about history.
SKIPPP - yes, many better cities to visit in Spain
lol 😂
Name three and explain why they are better than Toledo.
@@albertnielsen1154 I can name many ; Toledo is a boring little town lol
@@nickofjupiter I see!
You can, but won't, if you couldn't you would.
tut-tut
@@albertnielsen1154 lol ok
Not for airhead people for sure 🙄🙄🙄
LOL airheads beware!!!!!!! 😂⚠⚠⚠⚠⚠‼
what an insightful productive non airhead comment to make on a video..... go back to your music videos lol
