Cordoba in 2 days: day-by-day itinerary and budget
There's a trick to organising 2 days in Cordoba without losing your mind: group by area and set the budget before you go. This itinerary does both. Each day gathers what's nearby —landmarks, museums, a place to eat and the map— and the total is already worked out: ≈67€ in tickets per person, about 34€ a day, with 9 free stops easing the bill. The full breakdown is below; and if your dates or wallet ask for something else, it recalculates in seconds.
Day 1Jewish Quarter · City Centre ≈ 24€ in tickets
Start with Jewish Quarter and City Centre. Start with Calleja de las Flores, Mosque-Cathedral of Córdoba, Patios of Córdoba, Synagogue of Córdoba and leave the afternoon for Alcázar of the Christian Monarchs. A midday break at Garum 2.1.

Tips for Cordoba in 2 days
Cordoba's showpiece is the Mosque-Cathedral: go first thing or at midday, when the groups thin out, and lose yourself in its forest of columns. The Jewish Quarter is a maze of whitewashed lanes and courtyards; if you travel in May you'll catch the Courtyards Festival. The Alcazar of the Christian Monarchs and its gardens are worth a visit, and the Roman Bridge at sunset is the photo. Cordoba is easily seen in a day or two without rushing. And try the salmorejo and the oxtail stew, which here are a religion.
