Scheduled daily excursions to Toledo are available from Madrid travelling by luxury coach or you can book a private tour which includes the services of a driver and official tour guide.
Toledo was the capital of medieval Spain until 1560 and to this day remains one of the country’s greatest cities where the Jewish, Moorish and Christian cultures once lived together in relative harmony. Nowadays Toledo is a living museum of synagogues, mosques and churches which provide outstanding architectural diversity throughout the city.
Among the most famous sights of this UNESCO World Heritage City is the quite spectacular Gothic cathedral which, having taken over 250 years to complete, displays magnificent architecture from the Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque periods.
The imposing Alcazár (fortress) has played an active part in the city’s history and has been destroyed on a number of occasions, the most recent being in 1936 during the Republican siege of Franco’s forces.
Artistically, Toledo is famous for the paintings of El Greco who settled there in 1577 and whose works are scattered around the city. His masterpiece El Entierro del Conde de Orgaz (The Burial of Count Orgaz) can be seen in the Iglesia de Santo Tomé.
