Visit beautiful Toledo, a living museum just an hour's drive from Madrid. Explore this beautiful old town and learn why it is known as the city of three cultures. Let an expert guide take you on a panoramic tour of the city as you admire the beautiful architecture inspired by Arab, Gothic, Mudejar, Renaissance and Baroque styles and wander around the atmospheric narrow streets that have witnessed thousands of years of history.
Toledo is located in an impressive location on a rock in a bend of the River Tagus. This old town was an important cultural centre for Muslims, Jews and Christians in the early Middle Ages and there's plenty to see including the impressive Gothic Cathedral, its narrow streets and an incredible array of impressive stylized buildings.. You shouldn't miss the chance to see El Greco's stunning Burial of the Count of Orgaz – considered by some to be the most beautifully crafted religious painting of all time – in the Church of Santo Tome, the artist’s parish church.
Explore the Santa Maria la Blanca, the oldest standing synagogue in Europe and the Monastery of San Juan de los Reyes, which was founded by the Catholic monarchs who united Spain in the 15th Century. While in Toledo, why not learn about the famous technique of Damascining in which precious metals are encrusted into steel or simply enjoy strolling the around the cobbled streets, silent witnesses to thousands of years of history.
