Private Cordoba tours and day trips around Andalusia and Spain

Cordoba was once one of the most magnificent cities of the medieval era, rivaling Constantinople with its remarkable palaces and mosques, the most spectacular of which, the Mezquita, remains one of Europe’s greatest marvels. Today, the city is smaller than its Andalusian counterparts, such as Granada and Seville, which in a way enhances its charm and appeal.

The main attractions are conveniently within walking distance, allowing visitors to stroll through the atmospheric squares of the old town and the narrow alleys of the historic Jewish quarter. Cordoba is famed for its impressive array of tapas bars, where locals mingle with tourists. While summers can be extremely hot, the city's climate is most enjoyable during the autumn and spring months.

The centerpiece of Cordoba is undoubtedly the Mezquita (Mosque), where, following the reconquest of Andalusia by the Christians, a uniquely designed Renaissance cathedral was constructed within the mosque itself. Additionally, the Roman Bridge spanning the River Guadalquivir provides a wonderful opportunity to stroll across and admire a stunning view of the medieval town of Cordoba.
