Córdoba Travel Forum

Hello.

I read in the Lonely Planet guidebook for Andalusia that the entry to the Cordoba mosque is free in the morning until 10am, only for individual visitors, but not for groups. However, the website of the mosque does not list any such possibility. Can anyone confirm or deny this piece of information? I would assume that the administration of this famous sight does not particularly like to emphasize on the fact that you can enter for free, but it could be that LP is wrong, of course.

Thank you in advance

Hi, 2 years ago while in Cordoba I had terrific rabo de toro in a small but fully packed restaurant, I think around calle leiva aguilar, but I'm not sure.
I want to send a friend there, Do you know the correct address?

I will be taking a day trip from Seville and I was just wondering how many hours I will need to see most things. I want to get an idea of the train timings so I could book the tickets.

Thanks in adavance

I will be staying in Cordoba center hotel on -- Avda. de la Libertad, 4 Esqu. Avda.Gran Capitan. From Renfe train station. hotel website says its 10 minute walk. But arriving at 12:30 in the afternoon dragging 4 suitcases, walking will feel like 1 hr I guess. How much does a Taxi ride cost ?? may be few Euros right ? Are taxis easily available outside the station ?

Also after checking into hotel, is there anything I can see in the afternoon or more like evening after 3pm ?? Plan to visit Mezquita the next day. wondering how I can utilize the half day.

Thanks in advance.

Would it be better to plan a day trip to Cordoba from Granada or from Sevilla?

Which would be easier travel?
Would the bus or train be most convenient?

I do have more days in Sevilla, but am not sure that would be the best plan, as I originally thought.

Your suggestions welcome!

Thank you.

we're taking a day trip to cordoba on march 21st (in 10 days!); is it necessary to buy AVE tickets in advance? can you still get a good price by buying at Atocha the day before? thanks for your suggestions! the link on the renfe website to buy tickets isn't working right now....

This information is from site english.turismodecordoba.org. But I see it nowhere else. Can anybody confirm this is really true?

I want to go from Madrid to Sevilla and then to Cordoba. If I'll buy return tickets (ida y vuelta) Madrid-Sevilla-Madrid (to get cheaper fare), should I have any problem if case of boarding to train Sevilla-Madrid in Cordoba ?

We are traveling next April and have 2 nites to spend in Cordoba. We will not have a car so it's public transportation or walking. Has anyone a preference on these two hotels? Or, another? We are not wanting a 'plush' hotel, rather an experience. Any and all help appreciated!

I'll stay very short time in Cordoba (1 day),but I want to see Medina Azahara. What will be the price to go to Medina by taxi from the center of Cordoba ? And what will be the price for two ways if I'll ask taxi-driver to wait for 40 min. and return back ?

Does anyone know if you can use a tripod to take photos inside the mosque?
Thanks

Would anyone know what the best or cheapest way to get from Cordoba to Evora, Portugal is? I am traveling in mid November.

I am taking a quick run to Madrid and Cordoba in December. In some of the hotel reviews heard a comment that the Roman bridge was "closed" - can anyone elaborate?

I've read that many things in Cordoba are closesd on Monday. I'd like to know what is opened on Mondays.

Thanks.

Hi,
I'll be in Cordoba for two nights in June and wonder if you can recommend any really nice, but not too expensive hotels in good locations in the centre of town? Thank you very much for your help.

I will arrive Cordoba on 27 May. I note that the Patio Festival will be held u
until 18 May. Will the patios still open on 27 May? How do I know whether the house host participate in the Festival so that I will not be an intruder if I enter their Patio?

Furthermore, as I have a packed schedule. After strolling in Le Mezquita, I have only a few hours left before returning to Cordoba station. Which part of Cordoba has the best patios so that I can go direct there?

I will do a day trip to Cordoba on my way from Seville to Madrid by AVE train . As my itineary is very packed, I have the following questions and hope that VT members can help:

1. In order to save time, I plan to take a taxi from Cordoba train station to Le Mezquita. Is it easy to get a taxi? Is the charge fixed or metered?

2. I note that the lockers in Cordoba train station are closed and I can only use the lockers at Cordoba bus station. If all lockers are used up, is there any suggestion as to where and how can I deposit my luggage?

Hi.

I'm going to Villanueva de Córdoba for a friends wedding. I will arrive on the 25th of April and stay there until the 27th.
It will be a short 3 day stay.

But what can i expect? What shouldn't i miss?

Is there any special plate that i should try?

Thanks!

Best regards.

I am trying to plan out our trip to Spain for the end of May. As I start to finalize our trip details I have run into a snag. We plan on going south and staying a night in Cordoba and want to travel from Cordoba to Toledo for our last night before flying out of Madrid. I cannot find any direct train routes or trains that appear to travel from Cordoba to Toledo. I would think that there has to be a way to do it without going all the way back to Madrid. Any suggestions?

I am trying to establish whether I can leave some light luggage at the train or bus stations at Cordoba? I read somewhere that the lockers at the station have been closed. Is this correct?
Is there a 'consigna' at Cordoba bus station?

I recently came across an inn/hotel in the Juderia and can't seem to find it anymore. It had somewhat of a unique boutique-like look to it. Any help would be great as I promised a friend that I'd gladly make reservations. Thank you!

We are coming to Cordoba in May and planning to stay just one night. as we are coming by rent-a-car and we don't have much time, can you recommend us a hotel which has free parking, which is not expensive and is near the city centre?

Can you send me timetable and prices for the trip from
Madrid to Cordoba,
and also for
Madrid Sevilla,

Good afternoon,

Karel Berge

Hi
On 7th of Dec.we will visit Cordoba on the way to Granada.As we will be with a tour we won't have much time for ourselves but I want to see the inside of Cordoba Mosque.Do I have to get ticket before my visit?If yes, is it possible on internet?Thanks.

We're planning to stay in Cordoba during these days. Is it will be something special in the town- it's difficult to find a budget hotel-apartment!?

Hi all! I am leaving Madrid in the morning, maybe, by train since it is too long to take a bus to Cordoba and waste a beautiful day.

My question is, if I need to be in Sevilla by nightfall of the same day, is it roughly the same price to take a train to Seville from Cordoba rather than the bus? I know it is close by, so the hours would only differ by an hour, more or less?

Email me at alfromcebu at yahoo.com

Thanks!

We are visiting Cordoba in May. I know that there is a problem with crowds at the Mezquita. Is there any time of the day when the crowds are at a minimum?

I've never used any travel agency within Spain. Is there any ones to avoid?
Heared El Cortes Englis, Iberia, are over-priced!

Where can I find reliable ones in Cordoba?
