This is a great to walk through and see some ancient aramaic in the synagoge. There are many shops that offer silver jewellry and other souvenirs that are great to browse. Stop for tapas and a cool drink - you will need it!

There are many good reviews on Juderia; and I have to agree "Juderia" is charming in a very unique way. Streets are winding and narrow. Some times we were not sure if we were walking in an alley or on a narrow street. While there are many reviews covering the charm and the beauty of Juderia, I would like to... More

The Jewish Quarter can be visited in a short time. Walking along the narrow streets admiring the houses and buildings around was quite pleasant. Great for picture taking along the way. We did have to watch out for people who asked for charity. They may be somewhat aggressive, both women and kids. The small synagogue is a gem. Even though... More

We spent three days and two nights in a hotel in this area. We were able to walk to all of the historic and beautiful attractions. The patios were lovely. The sidewalk cafes and tapas were delightful. Underground city parking was reasonably priced and located within this area.

The Juderia here is pretty, however if you've been to the Juderia in Sevilla, I don't think you'll be incredibly impressed. The people keep up their properties well and there are mazes of beautiful streets, but nothing to rave about. This area is also jammed with large tourist groups (and we didn't even go at the high season) which kills... More

This area surrounding the Mezquita is worth having a wander through, but uncontrolled commercialisation has turned this into an area rammed with tourist trap shops, restaurants and cafes.

A maze of tiny streets and alleys which are easy to get lost in. Try driving your car in here - we did and got to our hotel in the midst of it all. Too many souvenir shops but lots of other intersting ones and the patios of Cordoba are lovely.

We were staying in Seville but took the train to Cordoba specifically to see this area of the city. We liked it so much we returned 2 days later (we were only in Spain for 4 nights!) This part of Cordoba is exactly as described in the tourist guides - whitewashed houses in narrow cobbled streets with flowers everywhere -... More

I recommend spending more time in the Cathedral and less time in Juderia, which nonetheless does have some good cafes and restaurants, which are more interesting than wandering around the streets...

Once you look past the array of souvenir shops it's possible to find some absolute gems. There are some true artisans there, in addition to the old houses and churches. A fabulous area - not to be missed. Several of the sights are closed on Mondays.
