The Synagogue and the Sephardic Museum are highly recommended. There are no audioguides available, but it is easy to download the App and there are lots of information panels in Spanish and English. PDFs can be downloaded in other languages.

This is an exquisite building. Well worth the entrance fee. The museum had some worthwhile aspects to it, though unfortunately it is not fully honest about the violent persecutions which resulted in the destruction of Toledo’s Jewish community.
