About Cordoba, Andalucia

Once the capital of a Roman province, Córdoba has long been a small city rich in culture and influence. Now a fabulous cultural hub for visitors to magical Andalucía, it’s a beautiful destination for foodies, heritage aficionados and artsy festival-goers. Expect a wide range of appealing accommodation options, suitable for a variety of tastes and budgets. Housed in restored buildings with plenty of charm, our pick of the best places to stay in Córdoba are intimate and characterful — much like the city itself.

The Mezquita, perched above the city, is Córdoba’s most famous landmark. Originally a mosque, then a shared place of worship and later a cathedral, it’s a magnificent building and a very significant reflection of the region's complex, multi-layered history. The historic quarter, in turn, is spread around the Mezquita, with tiny alleyways dating back to the Middle Ages and lined with ancient buildings. Other key sites include the Alcazar de los Reyes Cristianos, complete with landscaped gardens, and the Archaeological Ensemble of Madinat Al-Zahra, once a vast medieval palace-city.

The liveliest nightlife can be found at the bars and restaurants of modern Córdoba, close to the station. Come spring and summer, an almost back-to-back extravaganza of colourful festivals take place throughout the city, filling it with visitors from the region and beyond. Rooms at the best places to stay in Córdoba fill up fast during these periods, so book your trip well in advance!
