Full description

Travel back in time during this 3-hour guided tour to Medina Azahara from Córdoba. Also known as the 'Bright City', Medina Azahara is the ruins of a vast, fortified Arab Muslim medieval palace that dates back to the 10th century; when Spain was under Moorish rule.

Pick up your bus tickets by 10.15am and assist to the bus stop Glorieta Cruz Roja (in front of Eurostar Palace). After a short ride of around 30 minutes, transfer to a special bus bound for the site (the same ticket is valid for both buses). Arrive at Medina Azahara for a guided 90-minute tour.

When the tour of the archaeological site is finished, take a look around the museum located inside the visitor's center. Watch a 20-minute video in the museum to get an understanding of what life in Medina Azahara was like during its heyday. At 2pm, board the bus back to Córdoba.

Precious and interesting place
This year we have spent our holidays in Andalusia. Being a few days in Cordoba we decided to visit Medina Azahara. We decided to make it with a guide and what a wise decision! We finished around 12:20. We went down to the museum, watched the explanatory video and returned to Cordoba.

Discovering and imagining the Medina Azahara of a thousand years ago has been an experience. Must visit during your stay in Córdoba! Special thanks to David and Susana, our guides, how entertaining and interesting the visits made. We learned a lot. We totally recommend it.
