Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

The perfect central location to begin your Córdoba journey! Surrounded by elegant buildings and known for its musical clock that plays flamenco guitar, Plaza de las Tendillas blends the city’s modern pulse with historic charm. It’s a popular local meeting point and gives a glimpse into Córdoba’s everyday life.

Just a short walk from the plaza, you'll see the striking remains of Córdoba’s Roman Temple, with massive Corinthian columns rising above street level. Your guide will explain Córdoba's ancient Roman roots and how this temple once honored emperors as part of the old Roman forum.

Enter the labyrinthine streets of the Judería (Jewish Quarter), full of whitewashed walls, flowerpots, and serene silence. Stop by the statue of Maimonides, the famous medieval Jewish philosopher and doctor born in Córdoba. Your guide will share stories about Córdoba's multicultural past — Islamic, Jewish, and Christian influences living side by side.

Stop 4

Admire the incredible architecture of the Mosque–Cathedral from outside — a fusion of Islamic arches and Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque styles. Then enter the Patio de los Naranjos (free entry), a courtyard filled with orange trees and fountains. Learn how this iconic monument has evolved over 1,200 years from mosque to cathedral.

Stop 5

Walk across the Roman Bridge, originally built in the 1st century BC. As you cross, enjoy panoramic views of the Mezquita and Calahorra Tower, once part of Córdoba's Islamic city walls. This spot offers excellent photo opportunities and a peaceful breeze from the river.

Sit down at a cozy, local eatery for a curated typical healthy food tasting. You’ll enjoy:

Stop 7 Pass by

End your tour with a walk along the Alcázar's outer gardens. While the interior requires a ticket, the outside views, palm-lined walks, and ancient stone walls still offer a majestic close to your Córdoba experience. Your local guide can also take you back to the meeting point
