Itinerary

  • Medina Azahara

    Take a trip to the Azahara Medina, just a short trip from Córdoba, for a fascinating guided tour of this historic site. Explore the incredible architecture of this palace-city, built as the Caliphate of Cordoba's seat of government in the 10th century. In order to realize the guided tour you will have two options: a) Recruit the visit with a bus included that moves daily to the facilities, b) You can be directly to the settlement in your own vehicle (free parking). If you choose the first option, you will have to be in the bus stop with previous reservation. It is located between the Hotel Eurostars Palace and the Red Cross Hospital. Once you have taken the bus, you can simply relax and meet the expert personal guide who is waiting for you. There you can enjoy a complete guided tour to the settlement and then to interpretation centre that holds a unique collection of ancient objects recovered from the facilities.

Excellent

Published on Nov, 2024

Maria was a great guide. It was fun and I didn’t have to plan anything. Maria was attentive and informative. Would recommend

Definitely go with a guide!

Our guide Alejandro was excellent. So knowledgeable, he really made the place come alive. I suspect this site is one you would not appreciate without a guide to tell you the history and point out the relevant architecture. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Alejandro! 5 stars.

This was a fascinating...

This was a fascinating place brought to life with excellent historical knowledge by our lovely guide Maria.

Wonderful Moorish archeological site so close to Cordoba

Alejandro is a fantastic guide to the Medina Azahara. His descriptions brought the place to life. It is a great tour and well worth the time. Highly recommend.

Amazing to see

Published on Oct, 2024

Our tour guide Alejandro was amazing and very knowledgeable. We learned way more than we could have on our own. We also might not have figured out the system on our own. There’s a bus to the site, then the ticket system and a museum, then another bus to the main site. You have to then take both busses back. It was logistically a headache, but worth the visit.
