What to do in Córdoba in 24 hours
Complete guide to knowing what to do in the City of Córdoba in just one day. Fernet, cuarteto, Jesuits, and much more.
Dynamic, thriving, active. The City of Córdoba is one of the main cities of the Argentine Republic, and its social, cultural, and economic life demonstrates this day by day.
Popularly known as La Docta for having the privilege of being the birthplace of the first Argentine university, the University of Córdoba, in 1613. Additionally, it is the main gateway to the homonymous province, with an extensive tourist trajectory.
Therefore, we suggest you explore this great city in 24 hours to get a sense of its importance and everything it represents for Argentina.
A morning with the Jesuits
The tour begins through the city's historic circuit, which includes Plaza San Martín, the Cathedral - one of the most elaborate in the country -, the Cabildo, and the Jesuit Block. The latter, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, is composed of the Domestic Chapel, the Residence, the National College of Monserrat, the Church of the Society of Jesus, and the former headquarters of the National University of Córdoba.
Barbecue, fernet, and La Cañada
Once the historic area is completed, the tour deserves a break for a good lunch. The ideal spot for a break is along La Cañada. Amidst the urban noise, sitting for a moment and enjoying a good barbecue in front of this beautiful landscape recharges your batteries to continue. At dessert time, nothing better than listening to jokes and stories from the people of Córdoba!
The Cordovan afternoon
Córdoba is a city where culture is very present. Thus, we suggest you walk along Avenida Yirigoyen and pass by the Cultural Paseo del Buen Pastor, be amazed by the Church of the Sacred Heart, known as that of the Capuchins, visit the Ferreyra Palace, the Caraffa Museum, and the Museum of Natural Sciences. Later on, we recommend you visit the city's green lung, Sarmiento Park, the University City, and the Sky and Earth Park.
Fernet night in Güemes
Finally, the day ends in the Güemes neighborhood. The nightlife and Cordovan bohemia have gained space in this area formed by multiple gastronomic sites, art galleries, and cafes. It's the ideal finishing touch to close an adventure full of rhythms in a city that never ceases to amaze.
