Day trips from Málaga
Take a day trip from Málaga to Córdoba with transport and an official guide — visit the Mosque-Cathedral, one of the most important monuments of Islamic art in the world, without having to organise the trip yourself.
Choose the full day visiting Córdoba, or the option focused just on the Mosque-Cathedral.
What each day trip from Málaga includes
Both day trips travel by high-speed train from Málaga María Zambrano, with the return ticket included. The difference is what you see in Córdoba:
| Day trip | Price | Tickets included | Visit in Córdoba |
|---|---|---|---|
| Complete day trip from Málaga to Córdoba | From €130 | Mosque-Cathedral and Alcázar of the Christian Monarchs | 4 hours through the Jewish Quarter, the Mosque and the Alcázar |
| Visit to the Mosque of Córdoba from Málaga | From €79 | Mosque-Cathedral | Guided visit inside the Mosque-Cathedral |
Since summer 2025 the interior of the Alcázar of the Christian Monarchs has been closed for works and only the gardens can be visited; while it stays closed, the route adapts to the areas that are open.
What the day trip to Córdoba looks like
The train leaves Málaga María Zambrano at around 7:30; the exact time is confirmed in advance. In Córdoba, the guide waits with an orange umbrella at the Puerta del Perdón of the Mosque: at 9:50 Tuesday to Saturday and at 9:30 on Sundays. The complete day trip runs Wednesday to Saturday, and the Mosque one every day.
After the visit you have free time in Córdoba until the return train, which leaves Córdoba station at around 19:40. The whole day takes about 11 hours. Our guides recommend using the afternoon to have lunch in the Jewish Quarter and walk across the Roman Bridge.
To book we need the full name and passport number of every traveller, because train tickets are issued in each person’s name.
