Описание
On my auto-pedestrian tour of Toledo, you will learn not only the history of the city itself, but of the whole country! Monasteries and churches, palaces and narrow streets, ancient ruins and museums - from all this variety of architectural monuments in Toledo, you will create an image of a truly Spanish city with a special character and destiny.
What to expect
The history of Toledo is the history of Spain. For centuries, Muslims, Jews, and Christians managed to live together here. This has left an indelible mark on the city's appearance and culture. Every street, every house here keeps the memory of the people who made history.
But perhaps the most valuable thing in Toledo is the atmosphere of 'real Spain’. And you can see it for yourself.
Panoramic views
All tours of Toledo are pedestrian. Its medieval streets are not suitable for modern transport. However, I suggest starting the tour with panoramic views of the old city. In my car, we'll drive along the Valley Road, climb to one of the viewpoints where you can admire Toledo from the highest point.
Main attractions
Afterwards, a walk awaits you. You will enter the city through one of the oldest bridges in Toledo - the San Martin Bridge. Walk through the streets of Toledo's Jewish Quarter. You will see the Monastery of San Juan de los Reyes and the School of Arts of Toledo, visit one of the synagogues in the city. In the small church of St. Thomas, you will see El Greco's iconic painting 'The Burial of the Count of Orgaz'. We will also walk along the 'sweetest' street in the old city and see the world's largest Don Quixote. And then the labyrinths of streets will lead us to the Main Square - the most iconic square in Toledo. It is here that the Toledo Cathedral, the main cathedral of Spain, is located: I will tell you about its history and secrets.
Who is this tour for
Both those who are visiting Toledo for the first time and those who want to delve deeper into the city of 'three cultures'.
