Toledo with mobility issues

Take a taxi from the train station to Zocodover Plaza. From it you can walk around much of the historic center. While there are some inclines you can avoid anything that is too steep. If there’s a place you want to visit that she is unable to navigate to, if she doesn’t mind, she could sit on a bench while you sightsee.

That sounds perfect. Thank you!

And for the return journey there is a cab rank in the same square. You can also call a radio taxi if you note the numbers in advance.

Dear N.

If you are careful, you might be able to enjoy Toledo without the steep inclines, but it honestly will be a challenge. What are you planning for Granada? The two most attractive areas in the city - the Alhambra and the Albaicyn - would require walking on steep and cobbled streets. Seville is much flatter.

Granada has a little tourist train that takes you all around Alhambra and Albaicin areas

I researched Toledo further and found an escalator that takes visitors up the steepest climb. It’s about 10 min walking distance from the train station. Also the hop on hop off bus has a stop at the train station. It gets high reviews from elderly passengers.

Granada has a bus service to the Alhambra. The Granada card includes free bus service and a trip on the tourist train.

I would not have her walk to that escalator. I would just get the cab as described in the first answer. It’s inexpensive, about 13€ each way. This isn’t where I’d try to save money. There were plenty of of taxis waiting as we got off the train last month. I walk a lot, live in a car-free area, but I was so glad we took a taxi each way in Toledo.

At her age I still recommend taking a taxi. The closest escalator doesn’t go all the way to the top and the hill is steep. A mile from the train station, just past the Bisagra gate is another escalator that does go all the way to the top. Even then, at the top of it is an incline and it doesn’t come out at the main part of the historic center. There is a fair amount of walking (for an 88 year old) just to get to the cathedral.

Also, the almost 1 mile walk from the train station to either escalator is mostly up hill.

That is great advice. Thank you!
I saw a video of a very long series of escalators in Toledo from the Puerta de Bisagra to the Puerta del Cambrón. These originate on the west side of the town. They are steep and might cause dizziness.
