Discover one of Spain's oldest and best-preserved cities on this full-day tour by private vehicle. Declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1986, Toledo sits atop a hill overlooking the Tagus River and is just 70 km from Madrid. Toledo has been a Roman municipality, the capital of the Visigoth kingdom, and a Muslim citadel. During the Middle Ages, its golden age, Christians, Muslims, and Jews lived side by side in Toledo.
