I've been to both cities and they are both very beautiful. If I had to pick one I'd say Toledo. It was less busy than Segovia and it really feels like a medieval town. I ended up getting lost in Toledo wandering up these small cobble stone roads. It was amazing.

Segovia is also very nice. The castle is a must to see and the aqueduct. Good place to have authectic "Lechon"!

But my pick is still Toledo. I bought an amazing sword and it had it shipped. My only other suggestion would be Salamanca. Many people overlook it, however it is absolutely gorgeous. The central plaza is almost as beautiful as Plaza Mayor in Madrid and the main cathedral is breathtaking. It is also a university city, so it does have alot of students.

I was debating to write this and tell you all how I exactly feel. I lost, so here is my honest opinion!

I been to both and my vote goes to Segovia. Bottom line for me Segovia is more interesting to photograph than Toledo.

Now reasons why I had to debate writing this and if you do not like reading anything bad about Toledo you better not continue! cloud9

But to be far about, when I return to Spain if possible I will give Toledo another chance

Hopefully when I do visit I will not get killed by some sword store owner, wheeling a sword at me that I did not buy, who ate to many McDonalds hamburgers , driving a fast moving car trying to hit me and who I told to F off! wink

For you Toledo lovers, just remember I think anyone should visit Toledo and Segovia and make their own decision. I made mine!

My personal choice is Segovia. The aquaduct amazes me everytime I see it. Since Franco died they have revised the history of the Alcazar in Toledo.

For me, it's Segovia. If only because it takes more effort to get there, and you're more likely to visit Toledo on another quick trip to Madrid.

Why limit yourself to those cities? Salamanca is better than either of them in every way.

Both cities are beautiful but I'd choose Toledo. However, I did not visit Toledo as a daytrip. I spent 3 days/2 nights visiting Toledo so we didn't have all of tour groups to fight the entire time we were there. I'd definately recommend visiting Toledo but spending at least one night there.
