Córdoba is pretty safe, transportacion works so eficient and rarely something happens in the midnight. However as a girl I just dont like to go Alone in late hours in the night. Not that anything happens normaly but just in case

Cordoba is very safe, in turistic zones you have to be aware of pickpockets but it isn't a city to be afraid of. As it is a residential city, you will find that it is nice to live, as the criminality rate is low. (sorry for my english jaja)

It's a pretty safe area with a lot of family and tourists, local are really nice and the security is kind of hight with a lot of police man but be careful about the women with rosemary near the tourist activities they will try to scam you so don't take the rosemary !

Is Córdoba worth visiting?

Córdoba is a fantastic city to visit. It’s very varied and there’s a lot to do. I was in Córdoba for the start of the Feria which was amazing but probably a lot more fun if you’re with a group. I felt very safe walking around the city alone both during the day and night. If you’re going to be here for a few days and aren’t staying within five minutes walk of the Mezquita then pop up to the Plaza de Colón and get a tourist bus card. Really good value and it’s nice to be able to get the bus back for a siesta when you’ve got tired legs from walking all day! If you’re visiting the Mezquita (you must!) then also opt for the extra €3 to go up the tower - it’s an unbelievable view. Leave at least a few hours free in your itinerary to amble aimlessly around the cobbled streets. You’ll end up at a plaza at some point and can sit in the sun with a caña and a little tapas. Lovely. Don’t believe the hype! Better than Sevilla!
