Monasterio de San Juan de los Reyes

The Monastery of San Juan de los Reyes is one of the most beautiful and peaceful places in Toledo. The architecture is breathtaking, especially the cloister with its detailed stone carvings and quiet garden. The mix of Gothic and Mudejar styles makes it truly unique. It’s not as crowded as other attractions, so you can take your time and really enjoy the atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit!

The Monasterio de San Juan de los Reyes in Toledo is stunning! I wasn’t able to go inside unfortunately, but the exterior is breathtaking. I loved the unique Gothic details and the chains hanging from the walls. It makes for a great photo stop. It’s very affordable, only a few Euros to enter. I wish I had more time! The entire surrounding Jewish Quarter is full of charm, with narrow streets and a peaceful plaza perfect for wandering and taking photos. Great place to walk through when in Toledo!

We enjoyed our visit to the monastery and found it well worth the €4 pp. The audio guide was good, not too long at each point and with good information. Loved looking at the animals on the cloister columns. We spent about 45 min to an hour here.

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.

A whole historic must seeing place in Toledo ancient quarter. Need to improve the second floor cloister. Only 4€ entrance per person.

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.

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!

Bring headphones! Audio guide in English, French & Spanish. Got the tourist bracelet (14€) on their website, which allows you to visit 6 other places in Toledo (7 in total), valid for up to 7 days.

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!
