I'm looking forward to finding out why but I'll also stop for a bit in Segovia. Segovia , in our opinion, is a place not to be missed. The aqueduct is set amidst all the modernities and looks that much cooler bcuz of that. The opposite enfd of the city holds a castle that overlooks the surrounding country.
It is unforgettable. The surrounding area, below the castle and the main city, is wooded at least it was in and worth a walk. My vote is Toledo. The mix of Catholic, Islamic and Jewish cultures is amazing.
And its a very romantic town if you get off the main drag filled with tourists. Toledo is an easy bus ride up the hill or I think the escalator is fully operational now. Segovia is quite far and must use the bus but the schedule is timed well with the trains.
BTW - Your rail pass will be of no value for either. The cost of the seat reservations is equal to the cost of just buying a ticket. But both options are not expensive.
PSS - Ticket lines at Atocha and Charmatrin can be very long up to 90 minutes so buy your tickets ahead of time or plan accordingly. I would recommend Toledo, since you have to choose, although Segovia is also a very worthy stop. Toledo is up on a hill, but they actually have an outdoors escalator if you can believe it. Not sure if it's walkable to the escalator from the train station, but you would think they would plan it that way. There is a bus from the train station into town, and I don't think it's that complicated because I figured it out in We also did Toledo as a day trip by bus from Madrid in , because the train tracks were undergoing repair.
The bus is actually a little faster anyway, and generally buses out of Madrid to day trip destinations work very well. I normally prefer the train but from Madrid, often buses are best. I understand you want to use the train pass, which is great - but the amount you save may not be that much because it's not a very expensive ticket either way. I have been to Toledo on at least 4our trips.
Have not seen Segovia, but friends who have seen both recommend Toledo for the many more sites that are there. From the Atocha Station, you will take the train, 25 minutes total. The train station is outside the city, and I am not sure about the escalators.
I have seen them from the top, but never ridden them. The local bus is at the train station, at the street curb. There are tourist buses at the front door.
Take the city bus for an euro or less to Plaza Zodocover, just as I did on my first visit. The Zodocover is the center city meeting place.
Get a city tourist map and start walking! Nothing is level Toledo, so wear good walking shoes. The top of the cliff does not provide much space for the historic town, which is a labyrinth of narrow streets, picturesque market squares, and proud Gothic churches.
One of the best-preserved Roman engineering works, it was built of some 24, dark-coloured Guadarrama granite blocks without the use of mortar. The aboveground portion is 2, feet metres long and consists of some arches more than 30 feet 9 metres high. The aqueduct was inscribed on the World Heritage list in and stands prominently in the urban landscape of Segovia.
