Frequently asked questions

Is there a dress code to follow?

This is important with regard to the Mosque-Cathedral, which is part of the route. Mainly, men are not allowed to enter with their heads covered, but this is not a problem for women. In general, the temple asks us to avoid clothing that is not appropriate for a cathedral. 

If I arrive late at the meeting point, can I go inside and look for the guide? 

No. In this case, the customer must pay for the entrance fee himself. The entrance fee paid in advance with the guide is not valid, as the monument follows a strict timetable. It is therefore essential to arrive 10-15 minutes in advance.

Is it possible to enter the monument with food? 

No. It is not possible to eat or drink inside the temple. However, it is not a problem to bring water.

Can photos be taken? 

There are no restrictions regarding photos.

Once the guide's explanation is over, can I stay in the temple?

According to temple regulations, the group must remain with the guide. Depending on the circumstances, it may sometimes be possible to leave some free time to explore the monument on your own. In general, however, the guide must always accompany the group. 

Does the guided tour include a visit to the bell tower? 

The visit to the tower is not included, it is a visit to be made on your own paying the amount estimated by the Cabildo of the Cathedral. 

If I go with a guide, I don't have to queue, do I? 

That doesn’t depend on us, it depends on the management of the monument. Normally there is no preference, so the fact of having a guided tour does not mean that there are no queues.

If I am in a wheelchair or have any physical difficulties, is it advisable to visit the monument? 

The Mosque is not too far to walk. In addition, if necessary, the monument itself has wheelchairs available, which the guide will ask for in person at the time.

As for the Alcazar, wheelchairs are not feasible. The Alcazar is not currently adapted for a comfortable visit, there are many stairs. In case of difficulty in walking, it is possible to visit it, but it is at your discretion.

Francamente magnífica la atención a la hora de reservar y la guia, Patricia, extraordinaria, porque no solo sabe como historiadora sino como transmite y comunica sus conocimientos, nada aburrida, muy amena y simpática. Recomendable al 100%. Visitar un lugar como la Mezquita explicado por una profesional como Patricia duplica el éxito de la experiencia

Response from the ownerGracias por tu reseña y por confiar en ArtenCórdoba. Esperamos verte de nuevo para seguir descubriendo rincones y curiosidades de la ciudad.

The ArtenCórdoba guided tour of the Mezquita/Cathedral and the Judería on Friday, Dec 26, 2025, by Olivia was very extensive and deep with historical context, interesting side anecdotes, and a fluid presentation of her deep knowledge of Córdoba's unique history. It was so much more than we imagined!! Thank you, Olivia!Since I'm unable to do a separate review under ArtenCórdoba, I'll write that our guided tour of the Medina Al-Zahara, led by Alejandro, was also top of the line in terms of his knowledge of the history, and his narratives and storytelling kept us engaged throughout the tour. I will say that the organization around the bus was hectic and confusing with so many different tour operators. Once we were assigned to Alejandro's group, we were good to go, but getting people into groups was pure chaos.

Response from the ownerGracias por tu comentario. Valoramos mucho tu opinión y la tendremos en cuenta para seguir mejorando nuestras visitas. Esperamos volver a verte pronto.

Luis es un máquina contándote la historia de la Mezquita, tanto su mezcla de artes como la ‘armoniosa’ convivencia entre religiones, dentro de este maravilloso monumento. Si vuelvo a ir, pediré que sea él mi guía. Excelente.

Notre visite avec Carmen était parfaite ! Bien qu’elle ait duré 4h de l’Alcazar à la Mezquita en passant par le quartier juif de la ville, nous n’avons pas vu le temps passer ! Une visite dynamique, pleine de fun facts et très intéressante. Merci encore de nous avoir fait découvrir la ville d’une si belle manière.

Response from the ownerMuchas gracias por tu valoración, nos encanta que hayáis disfrutado de Córdoba con Mª Carmen. Un saludo.

Nuestra guía de Saray, en Córdoba. Nos enseñó la mezquita catedral y la judería. La visita fue súper interesante, el sitio impresionante y las explicaciones de la guía fueron claras, amenas y divertidas. Un placer haber conocido este precioso edificio con las explicaciones de Saray. Repetiríamos seguro.

Response from the ownerGracias por realizar la visita con nosotros a la Mezquita- Catedral de Córdoba. Un saludo.
