[quote=Anonymous]Metro in Madrid is super easy. I think you could do all that in a day and a half if you don’t mind being rushed.  I’d do retiro park on arrival day and then the next day get tickets for Royal palace — we went after that for lunch at the market.  Check to make sure it’s open every day tough.

I think for trains south you go out of atocha which is an easy station.  The train for Segovia goes out of a different station which is very large and complicated — it has several connected terminals.  Leave a lot of time that day.  Also when you get to the Segovia train station, there’s not a good way to get into the city.  There’s a bus but it’s infrequent.  There were no cabs when we got there so I googled taxi in Segovia and got a number to call.  I speak Spanish so dealt with it all in Spanish.  Might be harder in English.  In Segovia, see the cathedral, the aqueduct and the alcazar.  Get pastries at the place on the plaza. Lots of restaurants on the plaza and it’s nice to sit outside and enjoy the view.

In Toledo you can just walk from the train station — it’s an easy 15 minute walk.  Just walking around Toledo is fun.  See the cathedral.  We couldn’t go to the Jewish museum because we went on Saturday.  There is a museum with cool old military stuff.  We had a terrible lunch there …. I think a lot of very touristy restaurants but you’ll be there off season so easier to get a table.  A Saturday in June was tough to find someplace with a table.  We should have just gotten fast eats like empanadas or sandwiches or something.  There were some fast eat places that looked good.
