Itinerary

We provide you with not one, but two bus routes in this unique city: the well-known red open-top bus that takes you across the city, and the blue route with its minibus that drops you off right in the middle of the intriguing historic centre, which is recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage site. You are welcome to hop on and off, alternating between the two routes whenever you choose.

At the Panorámica del Rio, why not get off our large red bus? You may walk across the historic Puente Romano and get a lay of the land here, as well as enjoy breathtaking views of the second-longest river in Spain, the majestic Guadalquivir.

For a shift of scenery, visit the small, conveniently walking Parque Zoológico. Among the 102 distinct types of animals kept here are tigers, elephants, and giraffes, which both kids and adults will find fascinating.

You'll have an abundance of options when you take our minibus on the blue route. See the magnificent grounds of the 13th-century Alcazar de los Reyes, which was formerly Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand's principal palace.

Take a stroll through the narrow alleyways of Judería-Axerquía, the Jewish district, on one of our most fascinating walking excursions, which is included in the admission price. If taking one tour wasn't enough, you may also sign up for the Gourmet Market tour at the well-known Mercado Victoria, which is housed in a pavilion from the nineteenth century. Discover everything there is to know about the local food; you're sure to find something you like! And to top it all off, a complimentary drink is included!

Experience the beauty of Cordoba's courtyards; you'll have access to some of the best in town, the charming patios of San Basilio, as well as the twelve immaculate patios at the Palacio de Viana. A visit to this unforgettable city wouldn't be complete without doing so. As you take in the gorgeous aroma of jasmine, geraniums, and carnations while posing in front of row after row of expertly arranged plant pots, you'll be in selfie nirvana.

If all of this wasn't enough, your convenient combination ticket also includes admission to the world-famous Mezquita, a structure of unparalleled elegance and beauty, as well as a guided tour of the site. There is no other place in the world where you can see a magnificent and elaborate mosque with a Christian church situated directly in the middle.
