Wander the atmospheric narrow lanes, relax in quiet courtyards, and visit artisan shops tucked away in little alleys of these adjacent neighborhoods in the heart of old Toledo.
Especially in the evening, you can easily feel that you have stepped back into the Middle Ages, in the days before the Inquisition, when Christians, Jews, and Muslims lived together in mutual respect and harmony. Take time to admire the architectural details, including beautiful stone and brickwork, the graceful windows and doors, balconies, and the ironwork.
In the Judaria, the old Jewish neighborhood, you'll find the streets literally paved in colored ceramic tiles, which are set among the paving stones. This Jewish quarter includes several historic synagogues, one of which, El Transito, houses a Sephardic museum that illuminates the rich Jewish life in Toledo before the Inquisition.
While exploring the old city, you can even find remnants of Toledo's Roman past at the Roman Baths, northeast of the cathedral, and Cuevas de Hercules, where the Romans kept their water reserves
