Tickets for the Cathedral of Toledo Catedral Primada have an average general price of 10 €. Included in the price is a donation for the maintenance of the Cathedral and its museums, as well as for charitable purposes carried out by the Catholic Church. This price of about 10 euros is for weekends as well as for the three weekdays.

The ticket includes access to the Cathedral and all its museums and rooms. In case you want to buy it through the official site, the Cathedral's website does not offer this option. However, you can buy online a ticket with a guided tour.

In my opinion, the ideal is to buy the ticket with the guided tour, as this way you will be able to understand the different relics and parts that make up the cathedral. Otherwise, unless you are an art expert, there will be many details that you will miss.

In case you prefer to buy the tickets without a guided tour, you will have to do it at the ticket office. The price of these tickets is the same as above, i.e. approximately 10 €.

However, you have to take into account that the ticket office closes at 18:00 hours. In addition, you will have to wait in line, so you will lose time of your trip or your visit to the Cathedral. On the other hand, you must also take into account the opening hours of the Toledo Cathedral. Therefore, I recommend that, whenever possible, you buy them online.

There are combined tickets to the Cathedral of Toledo and the Alcazar, where the Army Museum is located. Tickets to both monuments cost around 20€. On Sundays the price is somewhat lower, about 18 € per person.

The tickets also include a route that starts at the Arco de la Sangre, located in the Plaza de Zocodover. From there you will go to the Alcázar, where you will have access to the archaeological remains, the parade ground, the crypt, the armor collection, the north esplanade and the different rooms of the museum.

Afterwards, you will go to the Cathedral, where you will have the opportunity to access all the naves of the temple, as well as the Custody of the Treasury, the Main Chapel, the Chapter House, the Choir and the Cloister.

Yes, it is possible to enter the Toledo Cathedral for free. However, with this option you will only be able to access the naves of the Church. In addition, you will not be able to do it whenever you want, since this option has a special schedule. In order to enter for free to the areas I have mentioned, you will have to do it from Monday to Friday from 8:00 am to 9:30 am.

As for whether it is worth it, my opinion is that it is not. The Primate Cathedral is one of the most important in Spain and Europe. It is an architectural ensemble with an impressive historical and artistic wealth. For the price of the tickets, I think it is worth paying for them and be able to see the cathedral in its entirety.

If, despite what I say, you still prefer the free entrance, I recommend you take a look at this article on what you can not miss in the Cathedral of Toledo.

Children under 12 years old can enter for free to the Toledo Cathedral, but they always have to be accompanied by a family member. I have to clarify that this condition does not apply to groups.

In addition, those born in Toledo, as well as residents of the city, also benefit from free admission. On the other hand, disabled people over 64% and their companion will also have free admission.

They can also do so for people over 65, members of large families and the disabled up to 64%. Reduced admission is valid on weekdays and weekends.

That is why, if you are traveling with your family it is impossible that the Cathedral is not part of your 1 day itinerary in Toledo.

In case you want to add a guided tour to your ticket, the price is around 24€. These visits usually last about an hour and a half and have a maximum capacity of 30 people. Personally, I recommend you to do the visit this way, the experience is worth it.

Unless you are an art expert, there will be many things in the cathedral that go unnoticed by you and others that you will not be able to understand their importance and value. With this type of ticket, an expert guide will tell you the history and curiosities of the Cathedral and its different parts. In addition, this way you can be sure to get in without queues.

Guided tour tickets are usually free for children from 0 to 11 years old. For children over 12 years old, they will have to pay the same price as adults, since they do not have a discount.

The prices for the entrance to the Toledo Cathedral do not vary depending on the season, but are the same in both high and low season. The same applies to the different discounts according to age, disability, residence or size of the family unit. In addition, they do not vary between the different days.

However, there are other activities in Toledo in which the cost does change depending on the season. Therefore, I recommend that you take a good look at the agenda of recommended activities depending on the time of year, such as the best things to do in Toledo in summer or the best things to do in Toledo in winter.

The most obvious advice I can give you if you want to save when entering the Cathedral, is to get in for free. However, this way, you will not be able to visit all the naves of the cathedral. On the other hand, you can also give up the guided tour and do it on your own with a guide of the best things to see in the Cathedral of Toledo.

Normally, tourists who visit the Toledo Cathedral usually finish the experience with some tapas in the nearby bars. If you want to save money, I advise you to bring your own snacks and drinks, although remember that no food of any kind can be consumed inside the temple.

You can also save on transportation by hiring a tourist bus in Toledo. This type of transportation allows you to get on and off as many times as you want, unlimited, at the marked stops, which usually coincide with the main tourist sites of the city.
