Toledo is one of Spain's classic travel destinations, and certainly one of the most interesting ones - a great combination of culture, history and architecture that has few rivals anywhere. Among the countless attractions are one of the largest and most impressive Gothic cathedrals anywhere, an impressive fortress, a wealth of churches (many of them former synagogues and mosques), a wide range of museums, priceless paintings (especially by local hero El Greco), a scenic location atop a hill surrounded by the Tajo, and an unmistakable skyline dominated by the cathedral and the alcázar. Toledo was the capital of Spain for several centuries, and is still its religious centre. I found it to be one of the most interesting and beautiful cities I have ever been to, and I would not hesitate to go back.
