    General Transport

    The historical centre of Córdoba is a compact maze of mostly narrow streets, so the easiest – and most interesting – way to get around it is on foot. Outside of this area, the city’s buses are generally efficient and reliable. Most of the stops have clear route maps, with the average wait for a bus rarely exceeding 15 minutes. Managed by Aucorsa, all the buses are brightly painted single-deckers, with a pay-as-you board system for single journeys. Services start at about 06:30 and run until midnight.

    Taxis can be hailed in the street and there are taxi stations at Avenida de América (near the Hotel Gran Capitán), at the corner of El Corte Inglés, and near the Hotel Meliá, among other locations. Taxis are metered and the minimum fare is about €3. Fares are higher at night and on public holidays.
    If you arriving in Córdoba at the train station (Estación de Trenes), you will be charged an additional amount for every piece of luggage you carry. When in doubt, check the sticker of official fares which should be found on the taxi’s back window. If you're dissatisfied with either the fare or the driver, remember to record the taxi's license number.
