Monasterio de San Juan de los Reyes

Definitely worth the visit! Only 4 Euros. Such a beautiful courtyard filled with afternoon sunlight and very peaceful. The church is also so beautiful and you can see it from ground level and also the two little balconies upstairs. Many lovely spots to sit and and take it all in.

Absolutely gorgeous monastery! I especially loved the small garden in the courtyard. The attached cathedral is also huge and impressive....especially considering that Toledo isn't particularly big. We parked near Puerta del Sol, and so it was a further walk to get here than to many of the other sights, but this was my favorite stop. Highly recommended!

The monastery was our favourite sights to visit in Toledo. We visited on a Monday afternoon and had no wait time to enter. The price is very reasonable considering you get access to most of the premises including the courtyard and church. There are no available bathrooms, however there are free public bathrooms in the plaza around the corner. There is plenty of seating to sit back, relax and enjoy the peaceful scenery. A must visit in Toledo!

This monastery is stunning. The innger gardens are beautyful and the church is amazing. It's also possible to view the church from the upper balconies accessible from the first floor of the monastery. You cannot miss this place if you love art and architecuture.

My husband and I visited this monastery on a Friday afternoon in mid-March. We didn't buy the Tourist Bracelet ticket so we paid €4 each at the door. This was one of the cooler of the 4 religious sites we visited in Toledo on our day trip. The monastery was commissioned by Isabella and Ferdinand after they won a decisive battle. We were able to walk around the ground floor, cloisters, and on part of the roof. Seeing a big church (I'd say medium cathedral size) from the second floor was really cool. The roof part was up a small staircase and the wind was fierce with the oncoming rainstorm. There are slightly steep stairs to get to the entrance desk and back out of the church. Some older women were reconsidering visiting because of those stairs as we left.

We bought our tickets ahead of time for Sunday, but there was no line and it was not busy in the late morning. Very beautiful!

Beautiful place to visit to learn about history, stroll around or meditate. There is qr code by the entrance that you can scan to download walking tour around the monastery.

Lovely and historic building in the center of Toledo, this Catholic monastery has some beautiful cloister and many beautiful architectural details about. If you are there on a hot day, you can escape the blazing Sun and enjoy the shaded cloister‘s and other interior rooms. There are a number of restored sections or rebuilt based on the original drawings or paintings, etc. definitely worth some time if you are doing a day trip from Madrid. Interesting spot, pretty garden, lovely interior.

This is probably the 2nd most important sight to see in Toledo and that's not an insult at all knowing that the first is the Toledo Cathedral. I personally enjoyed the multiple vantage points you get. You first enter inside the monastery. After that, you end up in the courtyard where you can visit the cloisters. The best is the ability to go upstairs and you'll get a view of the altar from a higher lens. The architecture looks very impressive from all angles. You get a unique blend of the Gothic style and the Muslim influence too. Lot of historical context behind it. At a not surprising 3 EUR, this is a steal.

This monastery was built by perhaps the only Spanish monarchs that schoolchildren in the United States have heard of, Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand. It was to commemorate the birth of one of their sons as well as their victory in battle. In fact, this building is constructed in an architectural style called Isabelline, named after that famous queen. My time at the Monastery of San Juan de los Reyes was the first time I had visited a monastery. It was quite beautiful and peaceful. I wandered the monastery for about an hour, simply enjoying the surroundings in a quiet and contemplative silence. The others who were visiting--even those who were were with someone else--were really respectful of the setting and of their fellow travelers and remained pretty quiet. There was no disturbing th peace and serenity found here. If you visit the monastery, I highly encourage you to visit the upper cloister. It has a different feel from the lower floor, with its own beautiful elements, and you will find a lovely view of the lower courtyard.

I sort of wondered into this area while looking for something else. Since the admission fee wasn't that much, decided to go inside. Be sure to walk around the corridors both downstairs and upstairs. Different designs and the mix of Islamic influence made it interesting, especially the ceilings. Inside the church area was small but serene. Unlike any other churches I visited, this particular one had influence of three different religions.

It costs only 3 euro and it's worth going there! (My kid was free!). It's very calm and peaceful, architectures are so beautiful.

Very nice place to spend an hour at. Make sure to download their application on your phone and connect to their free Wi-Fi while at this attraction. The courtyard is very nice and has beautiful views of greenery. The cathedral is also very nice with some beautiful artwork. Is it a must? It's debatable but don't sacrifice going to the cathedral of Toledo over this.

Beautiful architecture and a tranquil courtyard garden make for a pleasant visit. The "Isabelito" arches on the upper level of the courtyard are very beautiful and unique to Spain.

Monasterio de San Juan de los Reyes is a monastery in Toledo. It is very peaceful to walk around in compared to the Cathedral which was packed like crazy. The garden has many different types of plants from pine trees to palm trees. The ceilings and floors had Islamic designs. The ceiling designs have been decorated with Christian designs as a result of it changing to a church. Costs 2.50 euro to enter and was very worth visiting.

Very pretty Gothic church in Toledo built by Catholic monarchs in the 15th century. It has a beautiful cloister and courtyard. The cathedral itself is fantastic as well. It's a nice place to stop in for a quick visit. It's only €2,50 to get in so it's worth a stop over.

This monastery is best known for Isabellino sculptural elements: unique arches and intricate stone carving.

A beautiful monastery and a definite must see when visiting Toledo. The history and architecture are amazing. Just like all beautiful buildings, this is hard to describe unless you've been there. High decorated ceilings, tons of sculptures and artwork, and the entry fee is small. You can log onto their internet and listen to the audio tour which really gives you a sense of all the hard work and history of the place. I'd recommend bring a set of headphones to listen in private or else you have to keep the phone to your ear. Only issue was no bathrooms available so you've been warned!
