Which one to choose in Cordoba
Two churches in Cordoba. San Bartolomé, Córdoba has no online ticket listed; Mosque-Cathedral of Cordoba has 22 tickets and tours to book. The table and the two notes below put them side by side; the full pages have what to see, the ticket and the timing for each.
Cordoba, Spain
This is a small, easily missed building and the practical problem is getting in at all. The chapel is reached through a courtyard on a lane in the old quarter, inside what is now a university faculty, and its opening hours are short, seasonal and prone to change. Check them on the day rather than in advance. Entry costs very little.
Cordoba, Spain
One ticket covers the whole building, and buying it online with a time slot saves a queue that is long from mid-morning through the afternoon in spring and autumn. The bell tower, the old minaret, is a separate cheap ticket with entry every half hour and a limit on numbers, so book it with the main one if you want both. Audio guides are rented at the door; guided tours in small groups cost three or four times the entry and are genuinely useful here, because the building's history is layered and almost nothing is labelled.
