Where to go
Toledo is one of the nicer cities in Spain with many churches, museums, galleries, a Gothic cathedral, Roman ruins, mosques, palaces and more, there is so much to see in Toledo.
If you only have time for a few things, make sure to do not miss those places.
The Cathedral is one of only three 13th century high Gothic cathedrals in Spain, the Cathedral in Toledo is considered to be one of the best examples of the style in Europe. Don’t miss to visit the paintings of El Greco and Goya inide.
The Alcazar is on the right at the top of the town on a hill overlooking the city. Built before the 3rd century, it is one of the oldest buildings in the city, and has been a fortress, a palace and, now, holds the magnificent Army Museum.
Puerta Bisagra is the main gateway to Toledo’s Old City. The incredible enormous stone gateway is actually two gateways, one built around the 3rd century A.D. and the other added in the 16th century. It is a wonderfully impressive piece of masonry to see.
The Puerta Bisagra is also the entrance to the Old City, where you can wander for hours shopping at craft stores, visiting little galleries, enjoying a cafe con leche in a cute coffee shop or eating tapas at one of the area’s tapas bars.
