• Ifyou want to enjoy all the charm of Toledo and your budget is not that big: with an affordable price, the tourist bracelet will help you save money while allowing you to discover the city and all its attractions.

The Toledo Card bracelet costs around 64 euros per person. This makes it a more than affordable option, since, for that price, you will be able to access a large number of churches, monuments, spaces, the Cathedral, guided tours and so on.

Its price is truly a marvel, if you take into account that almost any guided tour through the city has a similar cost, and here for the same price you can access a huge list of attractions, it's a no-brainer: the Toledo Tourist Bracelet is for you.

It is really very easy to use. When you buy the Toledo Tourist Wristband you get a number of passes and entrance tickets to monuments for which you don't have to queue. It is valid for 7 days from the moment you use it for the first time. Just wear it on your wrist and you can access museums, the tourist train, monuments, churches, temples and much more.

A detail worth mentioning is that the Toledo tourist bracelet does not expire, meaning that you can keep using it as many times as you want (within the 7-day period, of course), and you can even repeat visits, both to monuments, museums and churches, as well as guided tours. Ideal if you've missed something, or if you've been amazed by any of the monuments.

The Toledo Tourist Bracelet Pass includes a wide range of activities to help you get the most out of the city. All guided tours are led by highly professional and experienced local guides who speak your language. With them you will have some of the best tours in Toledo, that's for sure.

You will get to know the city centre, both day and night, visit its amazing Cathedral, the Church of Santo Tomé, the Ermita-Mezquita Cristo de la Luz, the Church of El Salvador and San Ildefonso, the Real Colegio Doncellas and the Alcázar. You can also hop on the Toledo Train Vision, a fun little train-like bus that will take you to the best views of the city.

You can also visit incredible museums such as the Army Museum, located inside the Alcázar, one of the must-see places on your tour of this beautiful Spanish city.

But of all the places included in the Toledo tourist bracelet, the Cathedral is without doubt one of the city's crowning jewels. Thanks to your guide, you'll find out what you can 't miss in Toledo Cathedral. You will learn all its secrets and you will be surprised with a tour through the history of this sensational monument, which was declared an Asset of Cultural Interest.

The Toledo Tourist Wristband is only suitable if you are staying in the city for more than 4 days, otherwise you won't get to visit all the attractions and monuments included in it. For less than that amount of days, you might want to make a selection of the sites you want to visit and pay the entrance fee for each of them. Of course, you won't be able to skip the queues.

Bear in mind that, with the Toledo tourist bracelet, you not only save on the price of tickets and guided tours, but you also skip all the annoying queues and get direct access to the attractions, thus optimising the time of your visit.

If you are travelling with children, it is also worth buying the tourist bracelet, as you will be able to see some of Toledo's most fascinating sites, spending much less on entrance tickets, as well as enjoying the Toledo Train Vision tourist train, which offers a tour narrated in 16 different languages, and takes you on a tour of the most picturesque parts of the city.

The only time it is not advisable to buy the Toledo Tourist Bracelet is if you already know the city and don't have one:

• If you already know the city and have no intention of visiting its main attractions, or you have simply come for work and are not interested in its attractions and monuments.
• If you are going to stay in the city for less than 4 days. With so few days you won't get the most out of it, as it has many interesting options. If you plan to stay 2 or 3 days, another option is to buy the Toledo Card (the card, not the bracelet). The Toledo Card includes only a handful of tickets to selected attractions. It is perhaps much more convenient. It does not include guided tours or a ride on the Train Vision.

However, if you only have 1 day in the city, and you still want to see the sights, I recommend that you do a little research before you arrive, so you are aware of everything you need to know to visit Toledo in 1 day. Don't worry, although you won't have enough time to see everything this city has to offer its visitors, I guarantee that you will manage to fall in love with Toledo, and I assure you that you will leave thinking about when to come back.

In addition to the Toledo tourist bracelet, there is also the Toledo Card. This is very useful if you only plan to stay in the city for 1 to 3 days. This card only includes admission to the main monuments, such as the Cathedral, the Church of Santo Tomé, the Synagogue of Santa Maria de la Blanca and the Monastery of San Juan de los Reyes.

The Toledo Card is a very good option for a short visit to the city, as it allows you to see some of the sites that have made Toledo world famous. Although it does not include any guided tours, you will be able to briefly get to know all its charm, without spending too much.

The Toledo Tourist Bracelet allows you to save on entrance fees, tours and walks, and, as it does not expire, you can visit all the sites included as many times as you wish. Therefore, the best way to get the most out of the bracelet is if you stay a good number of days in the city (between 4 and 7), as you can continue to visit monuments and attractions until you take it off.

Take advantage of the guided tours and the tourist train ride. You can take day and night tours, where you will discover all the beauty of the city once the sun has gone down.

Another tip: before visiting crowded places such as the Cathedral, always check the opening hours to make the best use of your time.

There are really a lot of options offered by the tourist bracelet, however there are some activities worth doing, which are not included in the bracelet.

Take a fantastic hot air balloon ride over Toledo. Fly over the skies of this beautiful city and discover all its charm, this time from the air. A unique experience not to be missed. Ideal to enjoy alone, as a couple or with children.

Climb up to the Mirador del Valle de Toledo and enjoy the monumental views from the highest point of the city. You'll also see the Alcázar, the Church of San Lucas, the Cathedral, the Church of San Marcos and the meanders of the mighty Tagus River. A perfect place to have a refreshing drink and take a break.

Another place you should visit is the El Greco Museum. This is one of the most interesting museums in Toledo, entirely dedicated to the works of Domenikos Theotokopoulos, better known as El Greco. The collection includes a number of paintings, engravings and sculptures dating from the 16th and 17th centuries.

Visit the amazing Caves of Hercules, remains of the city's Roman architecture. Its great water reservoir was built in no less than the 1st century A.D. Many legends are told about this place, some of which have survived to the present day. A site not to be missed, to learn a little more about Toledo's past.

Does the Toledo Tourist Bracelet include public transport?

No, although it is a very complete product, it does not include public transport passes. However, you will be able to travel around much of the city on board the Train Vision, a friendly little train-like bus that will take you on a tour of the best of Toledo. In addition, with various guided walking tours, you'll get to know the city in one way or another.
