Description:

Travel through Spanish history and immerse yourself in the rich culture of the Middle Ages with a tour of Toledo—“city of 3 cultures”—one of Europe's best preserved medieval cities and a World Heritage site with 13th-century architecture, renowned artwork, and fortified city walls.

Step back in time and follow your guide through cobblestone alleyways. Explore this charming city that has been a melting pot for different cultures and races for centuries—where Jews, Moors, and Christians lived in harmony for many years—allowing the city's art and commerce to blossom. Nowadays the city is a testament to the ingenuity of these civilizations, with vestiges of a Roman circus and aqueduct, Islamic monuments (such as Baño de la Cava Bridge, Las Tornerías Mosque, and hammams), and Jewish monuments (such as Santa María la Blanca Synagogue).

Wander around the cobbled streets, take in the amazing views that inspired El Greco’s paintings, and taste some local delicacies in this charming city, guarded by the impressive Alcazar (fortress) that dominates the skyline.
