  Perhaps the most interesting place in Córdoba (after the Mesquite of course). Dont miss it!!, Yo can choose just to visit the patios or all the "Palacio" rooms.

  A series of courtyard gardens, properly cared for (doubles as a venue for conferences and events). Each different in style and tone, most attractive.

  We loved wandering round the gorgeous and varied patios, which were so peaceful. We did not take a guided tour of the palace as we were pressed for time.There is a lovely cafe outside in the little plaza, too.

  Córdoba is small enough that you can walk to most places that you want to see if you stay in the old centre. We walked from near the Mezquita to the Palacio de Viana along manly quiet streets. There are thirteen beautiful patios, each one very different to the others. We didn't pay to go into the palace itself as you can only go in with a guide and they have no English speaking guides. It didn't matter though because you can see into many of the rooms from the gardens. Got lost walking back to our hotel but the people of Córdoba are very friendly and helpful ( even though our Spanish is very very poor!)

  We visited Cordoba in December and we were informed by some locals that many of the patios were not open to the public during the winter and we were advised to visit the patios of the Palacio de Viana. There are two types of visit, one that includes a tour of the palace and the patios and one for the patios only. We decided to visit the patios only, and the visit for the extrance fee of € 5.00 included a well-organised walk around the 12 patios with a map and explanations of the history of each patio. The patios are very well-kept and peaceful - there were very few other tourists when we visited, which made the visit even more pleasant and relaxing.

  We arrived just as a tour was starting. We were told the tour would be in Spanish, so my friend agreed to translate for me. I was handed a booklet in English to assist by the tour guide, but it seemed very rushed. As soon as the guide had finished talking, we were being ushered into the next area without opportunity to take a good look. The patios were amazing. Well worth spending the extra couple of minutes to look at the detail.

  After 2pm on Wednesdays entry is free. This attraction is a series of about 15 lovely courtyards tracing the history of Moorish gardens through time, every garden is unique in design with its own water features. Spend a couple of hours just wandering around in this tranquil place. For all keen gardeners this should be the one place not to be missed.

  The Palacio Viana is a 16th century mansion which was redone around the 1950's. There are 13 patios, each with a name. Each patio has a botanical theme - one of them has what is called a vertical garden - interesting and lovely.

  We paid for the gardens and to visit inside the house.We were told the tour was only in Spanish but we could have a booklet in English.We thought this meant we could make our own way round but when we did the guide was aggressive and unhelpful.For the rest of the visit we used our book but the rooms were not labelled and we were unsure at times which rooms we were in and we just had to stand at the back of the group .We felt unwelcome and we have never felt that in any of the many places we have visited in Spain.

  It made up for the perfect afternoon for me in Córdoba that has entirely suited my interest. It was very nice to just walk amidst and enjoy those beautiful patios and fountains, smelling citrus fruits, plus getting a brief history on each patio. The visit is very well-organised, especially with the map. You can easily spend an hour there walking through the thirteen patios. And to top it all, entrance is for free!At the end I stopped at the gift shop and bought few things, including two of their local production of orange marmalade. I have not tried them yet, but I am hopeful they will be worth the price.
