Hotels in Talavera de la Reina

Old town and Plaza del Pan

The Plaza del Pan is Talavera's historic centre. Here stand the collegiate church and the town hall, and a few steps away is the Ruiz de Luna ceramics museum. From the square you can follow the line of the wall and its albarrana towers, which peep out between the houses.

This area works for seeing the city on foot and going out for tapas in the surrounding streets. It appeals to those staying a few days who want the monuments, ceramics shops and bars on the same walk.

Best-rated in this area: Blue Windows House Apartamentos & Suites, with a score of 9.1 from 1,819 reviews.

Jardines del Prado and the basilica

East of the old town lie the Jardines del Prado, with tiled benches and the basilica of the Virgen del Prado, clad in ceramics. It is an area of wide avenues and parks, convenient for families with children and for those who prefer walking among trees to narrow streets. The centre is a short walk along the avenue, and in summer the shade of the trees is welcome.

Best-rated in this area: Hotel Talavera, with a score of 8.1 from 3,874 reviews.

Tagus riverside

The Tagus runs along the south of the city. By the river you have the old stone bridge and, further on, the modern cable-stayed Puente de Castilla, visible from almost the whole bank. The riverside walks attract evening runners and walkers. Staying near the river gives you calm and views while remaining close to the old town, which starts just above the bank.

Station and A-5 area

North of the centre, between the railway station and the Extremadura motorway access roads, there are functional places to stay for work trips or one-night stops. The railway links with Madrid and Extremadura, and from here you are soon on your way to Oropesa, the Sierra de Gredos or Toledo.
