Getting there & around

From the airport

Córdoba Airport (ODB) now has limited domestic flights; AUCORSA lines O1/O2 link the airport area with Plaza de la República Argentina in about 30 minutes, and taxis are quickest. Most international arrivals use Seville (SVQ) or Málaga (AGP): take the airport bus/train into Sevilla Santa Justa or Málaga María Zambrano, then AVE/Avant to Córdoba Central; plan roughly 1.5-2 hours door to door. From Madrid-Barajas, reach Atocha/Chamartín and take the high-speed train; roughly 2.5-3 hours total.

Around the city

Córdoba has no metro; visitors mainly walk and use AUCORSA city buses. The historic centre, Judería, Alcázar and riverfront are best explored on foot, but streets can be cobbled and hot in summer. For buses, use a rechargeable Bonobús/AUCORSA card if making several rides; single tickets can be bought on board, and real-time bus info is available in Google Maps/AUCORSA. Taxis are useful for the station, luggage, late nights and heat.
