Train route through Castile: Madrid, Toledo and Segovia
Classic train getaway: Madrid, Toledo and Segovia
Four days to discover the heart of Castile through history, art and gastronomy. The contemporary energy of Madrid intertwines with the medieval memory of Toledo and the monumental elegance of Segovia, linked by comfortable, fast rail journeys.
Among cobbled streets, lively squares and essential museums, travellers savour tapas, wines and traditions in unique settings: the Cathedral of Toledo, the Roman Aqueduct of Segovia and Madrid’s classic axes —Puerta del Sol, Plaza Mayor and Gran Vía—.
The train lets you make the most of each day: frequent departures, central arrivals and a serene pace to combine guided tours with free time. Advance digital documentation and assistance during the trip make for a smooth, stress-free experience.
