Soul of Cordoba visitor tips

Due to limited capacity, it's highly recommended that you book your tickets well in advance.
Watch where you’re going! Given that it's a night visit, be sure to keep an eye out and be careful when walking on uneven ground.
Plan your transportation back! Public transport has limited availability at night so make sure you have a way to get back safely.
Eat dinner before your visit preferably as the night visit takes 1-2 hours and you’ll enjoy it much more on a full stomach! There are lots of restaurants near Cordoba Mosque such as Bodegas Mezquita and Restaurante El Rincon De Carmen.
If possible, combine your night visit with a daytime exploration of the Mosque-Cathedral. This will give you a full appreciation of the building's grandeur and complexity.
After the night visit, wander through the charming Jewish Quarter, known as the Judería. It's filled with whitewashed houses, narrow streets, and charming patios.
If your visit coincides with the Patio Festival (May), immerse yourself in the city's floral splendor by exploring the beautifully decorated patios.
