Detailed itinerary

Step into the stunning Mosque-Cathedral of Córdoba, a breathtaking fusion of Islamic and Christian architecture that tells the story of centuries of cultural history. Famous for its endless rows of red-and-white arches and intricate mosaics, this UNESCO World Heritage site was once a grand mosque and later transformed into a cathedral. Wander through its awe-inspiring interior and marvel at its blend of artistic styles, making it one of Spain’s most remarkable and unforgettable monuments.

Explore the Alcázar of the Christian Monarchs, a fortress-palace steeped in history, where Spanish monarchs planned the conquest of Granada and where Columbus met Queen Isabella before his voyage to the New World. Stroll through the palace’s stunning gardens, featuring fountains and lush greenery, and climb the towers for panoramic views of Córdoba. With its rich history and beautiful surroundings, the Alcázar offers an immersive experience into Spain’s medieval past.

Cross the Roman Bridge of Córdoba, a majestic bridge spanning the Guadalquivir River that dates back to the 1st century BC. Originally built by the Romans, this impressive structure offers visitors a picturesque walk with stunning views of the Mosque-Cathedral and the old town. Lit up beautifully at night, the bridge is a magical place for a leisurely stroll, offering a connection to the city’s ancient past and a perfect spot for photos.

Experience the charm of Córdoba’s famous Patios, a beloved tradition and a true feast for the senses. Every spring, the city's hidden courtyards burst into life with colorful flowers, fragrant orange blossoms, and artistic fountains during the Festival of the Patios. Even outside the festival, visitors can admire these beautifully decorated patios, which reflect the city’s Moorish heritage and love of nature. It's a must-do for anyone seeking an authentic and vibrant local experience.
