Where to stay in Córdoba to visit?
If you’ve come to Córdoba to admire its attractive squares, white houses with flower-filled patios, and monuments of exquisite architecture, then we really do recommend that you look for accommodation in the city centre.

The best place to stay in Córdoba for couples and lovers?
Cordoba is one of the most romantic cities in Andalusia. Which makes it one of the favourite places for a romantic break in Spain. And if you really want to be intimate with your loved one in an attractive and intoxicating setting, we really suggest you stay in San Basilio. This small district, just south of Juderia and Cordoba city centre, offers idyllic strolls through its picturesque little streets. All that’s left is for us to give you a little privacy..
The best place to stay in Cordoba as a family with children
When travelling to Córdoba with children, the best place to look for accommodation is in a quiet, charming area. And you’ll only find such an atmosphere in San Basilio. Touristy and very close to the places of interest in the city centre, San Basilio is the ideal setting for an unforgettable family holiday in Córdoba.
The tourist district of Cordoba
It has to be said that almost all of Cordoba’s districts are tourist areas. This is because the city of Cordoba has a number of very close neighbourhoods with exceptional monuments. In San Basilio, for example, you can visit the legendary Alcazar. In Juderia, a historic and tourist district, you can marvel at the magnificence of the Cathedral Mosque. San Andres-San Pablo is also a very popular tourist area.
Neighbourhoods to avoid in Cordoba
In truth, almost all of Cordoba’s districts are attractive. However, some are less touristy than others. Others offer less affordable accommodation. For this reason, we recommend that you avoid the San Pedro district, as it is not very attractive. The city centre should also be avoided if you are on a tight budget.
Best areas to go out in Córdoba
While Cordoba attracts visitors with the beauty of its historic monuments, this marvellous Andalusian metropolis also offers an exciting nightlife. A student city, Cordoba has tapas bars, nightclubs and party districts. But no other district can match the city centre in terms of festive atmosphere. If you’re coming to Córdoba to go out, we really recommend staying in the city centre. Next to the city centre, in San Andres-San Pablo you’ll find cosy bars serving authentic, delicious tapas.
Where to stay near Cordoba?
If you don’t like being in the hustle and bustle of the city, then we really suggest you stay in the area around Córdoba. The best place to stay is Campo de la Verdad-Miraflores. Located behind the Calahorra tower and on the other side of the Guadalquivir river, this area has the advantage of being very quiet. You’re unlikely to see many tourists. What’s more, the location of this charming district will give you an unbeatable view of the city’s great monuments, including the fabulous Cathedral Mosque.
