- Mezquita-Cathedral: the great monument of Caliphal Córdoba
- Jewish Quarter and Calleja de las Flores
- Alcázar of the Christian Monarchs and its gardens
- Roman Bridge and Calahorra Tower
- Medina Azahara, the Caliphal city, about 8 km from the centre
If it rains
- Interior of the Mezquita-Cathedral
- Palacio de Viana and its rooms
- Baths of the Caliphal Alcázar
- Archaeological Museum of Córdoba
Getting around and taxis
- The historic centre is explored on foot
- Taxis at the train station and at the stops in the centre
- City bus (Aucorsa) and shuttle to Medina Azahara from the centre
Tips
- In May: Cruces, Fiesta de los Patios and Feria
- In summer it is extremely hot: visit early in the morning
- Check the Mezquita's website for early-morning visiting hours
