We loved both bridges we saw in Toledo. Great spot for taking photos. The structure, especially the Roman arch is beautiful.

This is a stunning piece of architecture with amazing views and a long drop down to the river. It is the best way to walk into the old town. If you don't fancy the steps turn right after crossing the bridge and take the road that climbs to your left. After a short walk you will reach an entrance to the escalators.

The Alcantara bridge crosses the river Tage and links two doors of the city. It offers very nice views over the city and its Alcazar.

You can look down on this old stone pedestrian bridge from up in the old city, or drive past it on the tour bus or train. In my view however it is best seen on foot and is easy to get to. It is an attractive structure with the added bonus of providing splendid views of the river and the old city.

The bridge offers a nice view of the Toledo Fortress, as well as the city walls. The bridge itself is also interesting, and there is one of the free parking lots nearby - convenient if you come from another city.

A nice bridge for pictures, the duality of it gives you a sneak peak for the multicultural city of Toledo.

ciao, il percorso a piedi tra il ponte di Alcantara e l'Alcazar/centro storico è ben segnalato? da google maps non si capisce un granché! grazie!

Ciao Luciana, dal ponte dell'Alcantara, l'Alcazar è subito sopra di te un po' a sinistra. E' il percorso principale che tutti fanno a piedi quando entrano a Toledo ad esempio arrivando con i treni veloci da Madrid ed è molto breve :-)
I am at the bridge now looking for the Roman temple in which Lacers, the Roman architect is buried but am failing to locate it. Can someone please provide directions how to locate it from the bridge?File:Templo Romano dedicado a Trajano (Alcántara, Cáceres, España) , vista frontal..JPG

Hello, there are two bridges. One is the Alcantara Bridge in Toledo and the other is the Alcantara Bridge or Puente Trajan at Alcantara (Alcantara, Cáceres, Spain). The monument that you are looking for is located at the latter and not in Toledo.
Hope it helps.
Ps. If you look on Google maps you will see it clearly.

Buongiorno, sono diretta a Toledo con il treno. Mi date indicazione su come muovermi a piedi per un tour di un giorno? Grazie

Sono stata a Toledo quest'estate, anch'io con il treno, da Madrid, in circa 40 minuti. Arrivata alla stazione di Toledo, ho preso un taxi ad un prezzo modestissimo (7 euro) fino al mio alloggio, sia perchè l'hostal si trovava in zona pedonale, sia perchè la stazione è abbastanza distante dal centro, in particolare dalla Juderia, dove ho soggiornato per due notti. Per girare Toledo in un giorno, ti darei questo suggerimento: recati di mattina in plaza de Zocodover e cerca gli ombrelli gialli di Cuentame Toledo, un'organizzazione di giovani guide preparate che ti accompagnano in giri per la città esaurienti e ben organizzati. Non so se parli spagnolo; io ho scelto due visite guidate in spagnolo, una classica e una, bellissima, serale, ai sotterranei della città, due visite per complessivi 29 euro, ben spesi. Se invece preferisci girare con una mappa e una guida della città, ti suggerisco cosa non perdere, a mio avviso: il quartiere de la Juderia; la Sinagoga Santa Maria la Blanca, bellissima; Sao Tomé, "El entierro del senor de Orgaz"; Mezquita del Cristo de la luz; Iglesia del Salvador; Iglesia de San Ildefonso de los Jesuitas; Colegio de las doncellas nobles; Monasterio de los Reyes Catolicos; Sinagoga de El Transito-Museo Sefardi. Ci sono altri suggerimenti, ma vedo che hai solo un giorno.Toledo si gira tranquillamente a piedi, devi solo organizzarti i tempi. Buon viaggio. L.
