As our first stop on this Europe trip after two flights and a train from our previous destination, Shanghai China, lets just say that for an ever-so-brief moment the most exciting thing about Cordoba for us was sleep. But when we finally arrived in Cordoba, walking to our accommodation via parks with orange trees and dogs sniffing the fallen oranges on the grass, beautiful streets and courtyards filled with flowers and fountains, it was bitter-sweet to start our time in Cordoba on a pillow. If you’re planning a trip, I’m sure you’re wondering where to stay in Cordoba Spain? There are plenty of great options depending on what you are looking for from your trip. Here is our Córdoba accommodation guide with the best Cordoba hotels grouped by location and price, a Cordoba map to help you decide what area to stay, and our tips on how long to stay.

Where To Stay In Córdoba Spain? Cordoba Neighbourhoods
Cordoba is a really walkable city, which makes it easy when deciding where to stay in Córdoba Spain.
We would recommend staying in the historic centre of Córdoba, or within 20 minutes walk from the Mezquita. This way you will most likely be staying in and surrounded by beautiful architecture, cobblestone streets, and be closer to restaurants and attractions. We would also recommend staying on the same side of the Guadalquivir river as the Mezquita, as this is where the historic centre and main sights are located. If you stay on the other side of the river, try and stay as close as possible to the river and near the Roman Bridge.
The area around Plaza de las Tendillas is a more modern commercial centre of Cordoba, but still within walking distance to the historic centre and sights.
We stayed in the Santa Marina neighbourhood near Palacio de Viana, and although it was about a 15-minute walk to the Mezquita, it was a beautiful quiet neighbourhood.
The main accommodation options here are boutique hotels, apartments and Airbnb’s (click here to use our referral link to get $50 off your first stay with Airbnb).
It may be obvious, but if you want to find out how long the walk is from certain hotels, just pop the hotel into google maps and pick another point in Cordoba (e.g. Mosque-Cathedral of Cordoba) and get the walking time.

How Long To Stay In Córdoba?
Cordoba is often overlooked as a place to visit in Andalucia, or instead is visited as a day trip. But there is so much to see and do in Cordoba, that we would definitely recommend at least two nights. And if you want to see the beautiful streets without the crowds and tour groups, the beauty of staying in Cordoba is that you can make the most of early mornings and evenings when you can have the entire place to yourself, well, almost. If you plan to visit the ancient ruins of the Palace city Medina Azahara, we would recommend three nights in Cordoba.
