Toledo is known as "La Ciudad Imperial" or Imperial City for a reason; it has mosques, synagogues, churches and museums that could keep you occupied for days and narrow streets, plazas and inner patios that will keep you lost for weeks. Toledo is perched on a rocky ridge above the Rio Tajo, about a half hour south of Madrid, giving you a view of nearby villages and the surrounding countryside. The Gothic cathedral is the centerpiece of any trip to this town and the former inhabitants of Roman, Jewish and Muslim descent leave you intrigued by their architectural and cultural viewpoints. The charm of this medieval town is that it seems to still be stuck back in time.
On the train, bright and early!
