Madrid to Córdoba
Plan your train journey from Madrid to Córdoba: stations, journey options and advice for choosing your ticket.
Route Overview
Travelling by train from Madrid to Córdoba. The Madrid–Andalusia high-speed corridor makes Córdoba a practical city stop in its own right. Plan for the historic centre as well as the train journey, rather than treating Córdoba only as an intermediate station.
Plan this journey
For a day trip, choose both outward and return departures before booking attractions. For a multi-city trip, compare onward legs to Seville or Málaga and leave time to collect luggage before boarding.
After you arrive
Córdoba works well as a separate stop on an Andalusian itinerary. A through ticket with a brief station stop does not give you a sightseeing break; book the legs you intend to travel.
