Good afternoon everyone! I am planning to go to Madrid,Spain for the first time in early October. I would appreciate any recommendations and pieces of advice about this city.
I know that there are historical cities near Madrid - Toledo and Segovia. I would like to visit one of them, but I don't know which one to choose (it seems like Toledo looks cooler, but Segovia has more interesting things to do). I would be grateful for your opinion on which one is best and what you recommend to do there🙏

Museo Del Prado is a must!

I am not into art,honestly. But thank you anyway!

Perhaps consider doing both in 2 separate days. It's a bus ride away (cheaper and seats are more available than train). Can be planned as day trip (head out there early morning and come back to Madrid in the evening). Those 2 spots are just different. Be prepared to walk A LOT, esp Toledo (old town is hilly). As usual, bring water

Got it. I appreciate your feedback!

Was in Madrid for a short time, we did a paella making class found through Eat With also did a winery tour which we absolutely loved (https://www.gourmetmadrid.com/en/madrid-wine-region-tagus-river-valley/) . We took a day trip to Toledo via Viator which included lunch and lunch was horrible/in edible. Tour was ok. Probably could find a better tour company. As far as Toledo it is very hilly and brick/cobblestone so definitely need comfortable walking shoes.

Thank you for your suggestions! Will definitely prepare to walk a lot.

+1 on recommendation to see both Toledo and Segovia. As already said above, be prepared to climb steep hills in Toledo. They are both must-see. We took the train to both (short walks to town from their train stations). Madrid is also a fun city. Recommend to book hotel near Atocha station where you can easily access trains and subways. Watch for pickpockets. Not as bad as in Italy but the locals did remind us to be careful on crowded subway cars.

If you like, I can share with you a list of all must-see things in each of the 3 places with hotlinks to google maps.

If you can share,that would be great!🙏
And yes,finally, I decided to go to both - Toledo and Segovia.

Question on UK visa-
My partner will be traveling often to London, once a month for an year starting September. He is getting his visa through work (10 years, multiple entry, 6 months max stay, cost some $1000).

I have applied for standard tourist visa in the past and they are usually short term. It could be max 6 months, but they see your itinerary and allocate you few months around the itinerary

Is there a way to get 6 months multiple entry visa, if I were to join him once in a while.
