We may earn a commission. It never decides our picks.
Córdoba is a major city in central Argentina, near the Sierras Chicas. Its historic center includes the Jesuit Block, a group of buildings dating from the 17th and 18th centuries that is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The city’s universities have shaped its identity since the 17th century. In the center, you can visit historic buildings, museums and plazas, and stop at cafés between sights. Córdoba also makes a base for exploring the hills and towns beyond the city.
Plan two or three days for Córdoba’s central sights, with more time if you want to travel outside the city. Many landmarks in the center are close enough to visit on foot; trips to the surrounding region need separate transport planning. Spring and fall are good seasons for walking around the city and visiting the hills. Córdoba suits travelers interested in history and culture, or those who want to combine a city stay with time in the surrounding region.
