Córdoba Trips & Tours

A stronghold of Argentine history and art, a few days in Córdoba will have you spellbound.

Groundbreaking art galleries, a rollercoaster history and home to the country's oldest university, Córdoba was once dubbed the 'Cultural Capital of the Americas' - and it's not hard to see why as you stroll through the city. For a start, art is handled with the utmost respect, with collections ranging from 19th century works that embody the history of the Córdoban school of painting, to the creations of young and emerging artists. For the history buffs, the Manzana Jesuitica is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and treasure trove of beautiful 17th-century architecture and cathedrals, including the Iglesia Catedral, which took more than 200 years to build. Discover Córdoba's fascinating history at museums dotted throughout the city streets and its darker side at the Museo de la Memoria, where you'll see photographs of people still 'missing' 30 years after Argentina's military dictatorship fell.
