Full Day Yellow Bus Tours, Toledo
Nov 2021
Toledo was an alright experience. Honestly, there were only a few highlights such as the scenery and culture. I took the Yellow Bus Tour full guided tour [Full Day in Toledo] which I highly recommend for first-timers to Spain.

Nov 2021 - Dec 2021 [Spain]

San Martin Bridge
Dec 2019
Saw as part of a tour but what an impressive structure to see and walk across. The more adventurous can flying fox across the river from a structure beside the the bridge on the city side. Looked like fun

Toledo’s iconic Medieval Bridge
Sep 2019
On our way to visit Toledo, Spain, my wife and I were able to enjoy a brief stop at this 14th Century bridge which spans part of the Tagus River. The still magnificent arches of the bridge are framed by Medieval towers on both sides of the bridge. Both the bridge and towers are very well maintained and still open to pedestrian traffic. This is a great location to obtain panoramic views of Toledo as well as the Tagus River.

Wonderful historic vantage point of Toledo for great photos
Oct 2019
I slowly followed the progression of our group crossing the medieval Puente de San Martin or Bridge of San Martin, that spanned the Tagus River, to find our bus. I didn't want to rush this experience. The bridge was constructed in the late 14th century by archbishop Pedro Tenorio to provide access to the town of Toledo from the west. I took my time grabbing as many last shots to best remember this ancient multicultural hilltop city.

Certainly one of the highlights of this historic city
Jun 2021
A super beautiful medieval bridge. This lovely bridge was constructed in the Middle Ages and dating to around the 13th century. Both sides of the bridge were heavily fortified with towers, the more recent dating from the 16th century. It is worth taking the time to reach this bridge. You can enjoy really beautiful views from here. A wonderful place to spend time. Undoubtedly a place worth visiting when traveling to Toledo.

Nice to see

We made our way over to the bridge as we had time and I like old architecture. This is well cared for. The zip line right next door was busy but not unduly so, adults and kids seemed to enjoy the quick trip across.

The best entrance to Toledo. Near to the escalators if you don't want a climb.
Mar 2017 • Couples
If you come from the train station make sure you turn left at the roundabout between the station and town and walk along the river. After a few minutes walking you will see this old pedestrian bridge which is the best way to come into Toledo and sets the scene for a fabulous day. The bridge is lovely and the view is not bad either. Once over the bridge there are stairs to climb or if you want to avoid the stairs turn right and walk along the road that climbs to the left. After a short distance on the left there is what looks like an entrance to an underground car park - which indeed it is but it is also the entrance to escalators that take you to the top of the hill.

A grand 14th century bridge
Sep 2015 • Friends
The San martin bridge, (Puente de San Martín) is the larger medieval bridge that crosses the Tagus River in the south western side of Toledo.

Not to be confused with the smaller Alcantara Bridge with has similar looking towers and arches and lies on the opposite side of the city.

The bridge was constructed in the late 14th century by Archbishop Pedro Tenorio to provide access to the old town from the west.

Our guided day tour ended, at this magnificent structure.

Most scenic way to enter or leave the city
Jul 2014 • Couples
The Bridge of San Martin was named for the nearby parish of San Martin, the patron saint of soldiers. As the second of only two bridges that allowed entry into fortress Toledo, it was built mainly to transport heavy stones from quarries in the west for construction of Toledo's important buildings. One has to admire the wide center span and the strength of the bridge. The tower at the west end of the bridge was built in the 13th century, and the one on the city side was built in the 16th century. One can feel sympathy with any army that planned to attack Toledo via this western bridge, having to conquer two high towers and the walls in order to gain access to the city. Because the bridge is so old and so involved in Toledo's history, it has been designated a national monument. The bridge itself is a postcard-view with the deep gorge and River Tajo underneath it and the city of Toledo behind it. But the view from the city looking toward the opposite bank of the river is also scenic. It is a beautiful way to enter or leave the city..
