Read the full description
In the guided tour of the Alcázar of the Christian Monarchs, you will enjoy a unique monument with an exceptional historical legacy.
With expert guides and historians, you will discover all the secrets of a building that was not only a royal palace and fortress, but over the years also became the seat of the Holy Inquisition and even a prison.
What will we see on the guided tour of the Alcázar of Córdoba?
We will visit the Tower of the Lions and the Keep, where you will enjoy one of the best views of the city; the wall walk, the famous Hall of Mosaics, the Moorish Courtyard, and the Royal Mudejar Baths… We will stroll through its famous gardens, full of pools where vegetation and water blend into a setting of great beauty and monumentality.
If you would like to add more content to your guided tour of the Alcázar, we recommend booking the “Cordoba in Depth” tour, in which you will also visit the Mudejar Chapel, the Jewish Quarter, the Synagogue, and, of course, the Mosque–Cathedral.

Frequently asked questions
At the end of the guided tour, the visitor may remain in the monument freely and take the opportunity to stroll through the gardens and the towers. If the visitor continues with the guide to visit the Jewish Quarter, then visiting the towers is not possible because the schedule must be respected. However, time is always allowed to visit the gardens.
In that case, the visitor must pay for their own ticket; the ticket previously paid through the guide is not valid because the monument follows strict schedules. For this reason, it is essential to arrive 10–15 minutes early.
Regarding wheelchairs, it is not feasible. The Alcázar is not currently adapted for a comfortable visit, as there are many stairs. If you have difficulty walking, the visit is possible but ultimately depends on your own judgment.
That doesn’t depend on us; it depends on how the monument is managed. Normally, there is no priority access, so having a guided tour does not mean skipping the line.

¡Muchas gracias por recomendarnos! Nos alegra que disfrutaras de la visita de Córdoba a Fondo.
¡Muchas gracias por tu valoración! Esperamos que hayas disfrutado descubriendo Córdoba con nosotros.
Elle était très disponible pour les questions sur l histoire mais aussi pour gérer les difficultés techniques de matériel
Elle a su nous faire patienter dans la file d’attente de la mosquée cathédrale, et nous donner un maximum d informations techniques et architecturales quant aux prouesses et connaissances qui ont permis la construction de l édifice
Enfin grâce a ses explications claires sur les grandes périodes et les principaux personnages politiques, nous avons bien saisi la construction en plusieurs étapes de l édifice et son évolution progressive et vers cet imbroglio incroyable entre les différentes influences religieuses
Cette visite assez longue, dense et complexe, Almudena nous l’a rendue intelligible , o combien intéressante grâce à son érudition, son implication et sa disponibilité
Merci!
El guía Rafa nos ha explicado un monton de cosas de manera amena.
Repetiremos!!!!!!
¡Gracias por tu reseña! Fue un placer mostrarte la historia de Córdoba.
Jeder bekommt einen Kopfhörer, sodass man alles problemlos verstehen kann, auch wenn man nicht direkt neben der Fremdenführerin steht. Die Mezquita ist sehr beeindruckend.
A Medina Azahara con María y a los patios con Emilio T.Torrico,ambas muy satisfactorias, estupendas las explicaciones,muy simpáticos y buen trato.Gracias.
Gracias por tu comentario. Nos encanta saber que la experiencia en el free tour fue positiva.
Gracias por la explicación
Elena gracias por tu explicación de la judería y Luis no se puede explicar con más pasión la mezquita (pero no te voy a dejar mis gafas naranjas)
