historic centre of cordoba

Cordoba 与其它西班牙城市风格各异，我喜欢那罗马大桥，大教堂，当地小歺厅... 虽然分了一晚一天，24小時，時间有限，只能选择性地参观，重点放在大教堂和罗马桥；然后分半天随意在古城中心逛逛，白天阳光下很闷热，停下坐坐、喝杯冷凍饮料是非常爽事、再慢慢泡杯咖啡. 这种气候，不宜太赶. 来日方长，下次，要住上两天两夜！

Lots of buildings to look at and so calm down by the river. Up market tourist place, more so than Seville and Malaga.

We visited on a day trip from Malaga - perfectly do-able by train but not enough time to really appreciate this amazing cultural treasure. The pedestrian centre is enjoyable- as well as the Mezquita dont miss the small surviving synagogue building as well as the Roman temple. The Roman bridge and the views down the river are also amazing with ruins of what I assume are ancient watermills. Bring your binoculars and you will be able to go bird watching as well. We will visit again and stay longer...

The historic centre is easily walkable with a maze of pretty streets with lots of opportunities to sample tapas and wine.

A visit to the Mesquita is a must as well as the Alcazar. The patio gardens are havens of peace and the cafes provide good value meals. Don't miss the museum of Fine Art if you love art. The cobbled streets take you a world away from the hustle and bustle of the city outside the old walls. A trip to Mercado Victoria in the park is a great place to visit at night for a taste of Spanish life, eating and socialising. Fabulous tapas! The orange trees line the streets and provide an image that will live in the memory for a long time. Unforgettable.

What a fabulous city. Get up early to see the sunrise over the river and visit the Mezquita for free at 8:30 when it is still empty. The Alcázar de los Reyes Cristianos is around the corner with stunning views from the tower. The Roman bridge, the Jewish area with the synagogue, every corner some tapas and small beer. A very special place and so much quieter that Granada.

After visiting the main sights and before catching the 45 minute train back to Seville, we walked around the center with a map but mostly walking around the maze of streets to see wonderful buildings, churches, homes, courtyards etc. The walk down the promenade from the train station goes through wonderful garden and sculpture areas before coming to the old city wall and the Jewish Quarter.

The historic center is so lovely you will love to walk through the city. The historical palaces, bridge, buildings are worth visiting. The streets are narrow but fun to walk and see the houses full of flowers.

We visited Córdoba on a day trip from Seville. It is a wonderful city. Lots of great sights to visit, a lovely town centre. The old town and the Jewish quarter are wonderful. You can meander around all the old streets for hours. Lovely cafes, bars, walks. One tip if you are travelling from Seville, although the fast train is more expensive, it is less than half the travelling time, so maybe consider one way on the fast train, one way on the slower, about one and half hours, compared to 40 minutes.

Cordoba is normal old south Europian city from its layout. Narrow paved streets were th small reataurants and tourist shops. Very enjoyable but not so special.

I thoroughly enjoyed Córdoba. Interesting history, gardens, food and friendly people. I also recommend taking a walking tour of the old town and the Mesquita if you do not know the history. I stayed at the Hotel Hesperia Córdoba and recommend. It overlooks the river, and a walk over the old bridge to the old town.

The train from Malaga to Cordoba: we bought our tickets an hour before departure, absolutely hazzle free. The trip took 1 hour, very comfortable. (if you are 60 or over you can purchase a Tarjeta Dorada for 6€ and get 40% off all Renfe train travel, including the Cercania trains). If you prefer to take the bus to the historic centre, when you get to the top of the escalator turn left to exit the building and LEFT AGAIN to walk along side the station to the corner, cross the street to get the #3 bus.(do NOT go to the #3 stop directly across the street from the door) Get off at San Fernando (the buses have both annoucements and digital sign saying the next stop.) and walk straight ahead to river and turn right, walk for appx. 3 blocks till you reach the Mesquita. If you walk from the station you are in for a treat. When you get to the top of the escalator in the train station turn right and exit the door next to the cafeteria. On your RIGHT is a park across the street. Walk along the path in the park and cross a street to continue INSIDE the park (heading south) until you reach a short round tower on your LEFT(just 5 minutes from station) There is a crosswalk over the Paseo de la Victoria. then turn RIGHT and immediately LEFT on calle Concepcion (which turns into calle Conde de Gondomar, to the delightful Plaza de las Tendilas. Turn RIGHT to calle Jesus Maria to calle Cespedes and continue to Mesquita. Total walk appx. 15 minutes and well worth it.

Calm and nice city..The centre is beautiful and give you the feel of history. .So recommended for history lovers

Very small surviving area of small streets, but seething with tourists and full of shops selling tourist tat.

A nice relaxed feel. Very clean. Very safe. Lots of beautiful and pretty buildings to look at while just wandering around. Lots of restaurants, although many were closed on the Sunday night that we were there.
