Getting There & Away in Córdoba

Overall7.3/10Easier to reach than about 70% of cities

Good to Know

  • When booking flights, verify airport code COR (Córdoba, Argentina) vs ODB (Córdoba, Spain) — easy mistake to make
  • Red Bus card required for public transport (city buses and AeroBus); available at airport kiosks and bus terminal
  • For long-distance bus travel, higher seat classes (Cama Ejecutivo, Cama Suite) offer significantly more comfort for overnight journeys
  • Currency exchange at airport has worse rates than in city; bring some ARS for transport upon arrival
  • Free WiFi available throughout airport terminal
  • Train travel is less frequent (twice weekly) but offers scenic views and overnight cabin service; book well in advance
  • From airport, AeroBus is good middle option between budget (city bus) and cost (taxi); takes longer but drops near city center
