Madrid questions
Do I need to book Prado Museum tickets ahead?
Book timed tickets online at least one week in advance. Walk-up lines can exceed two hours on weekdays.
Is one day enough for Toledo?
One day covers the cathedral, Alcázar and old town. Take the first AVE train out and the last one back to maximize time.
How do I get to Segovia from Madrid?
Take the high-speed train from Chamartín to Segovia Guiomar (about 30 minutes), then bus 11 to the aqueduct. Book a week or two ahead for the cheapest fares.
Is a week enough for Madrid plus Toledo and Segovia?
Yes. A week gives you five days for Madrid's museums, parks and neighbourhoods plus a day each in Toledo and Segovia, both under an hour away by high-speed train.
