Bus
From Toledo’s bus station (925 22 36 41) buses depart for Madrid every half-hour from about 6am to 10pm daily (8.30am to 11.30pm Sunday and holidays). Direct buses (€4.20, one hour) run hourly; other services (1½ hours) go via villages along the way. Regular buses go to Alcázar de San Juan (€4, 1¼ hours, nine daily), Consuegra (€4.05, one hour) and Talavera de la Reina (€5.35, 1¼ hours), while occasional buses go to El Toboso (€7.10, two hours) and Guadalajara (€7.20, 2¼ hours). There are also services on weekdays and Sunday to Albacete (€12, 2¾ hours), Ciudad Real (€6.60, 1½ hours) and Cuenca (€9.30, 2¼ hours).
Car & motorcycle
The N401 connects Toledo with Madrid. If you want the A4 Autovía de Andalucía, the main motorway running south from Madrid to Córdoba and Seville, take the N400 for Aranjuez. The N403 heads northwest for Ávila and continues as the N501 for Salamanca.
Train
Built in 1920, the train station (925 22 30 99) is a pretty introduction to the city. The high-speed AVE service runs every hour or so to Madrid’s Atocha station (€8.10, 30 minutes).
