Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Beautiful square, intense historical content, with the Cabildo next to it, surrounded by colonial buildings, not to be missed if you go to Córdoba. From there you can take the buses to take a city tour, throughout the year, they take you to the emblematic places of the Docta. Visit Córdoba, it will surprise you at every corner. On the one hand, the well-preserved colonial architecture, on the other the avant-garde buildings, and most importantly, the diverse population of the city. Córdoba will make you fall in love forever.,❤️

Nice enough without being anything special. It’s a shady square in the heart of historic Cordoba with a central park area and a major statue of San Martin. The selection of bars and cafes around the square is disappointing and uninspiring.

The bustling Plaza of San Martin is a great place for people watching, to have a coffee, and to stop and rest! It is right in the heart of Cordoba and therefore there is plenty to do nearby!

The Plaza is worth a stroll around the large statue. The double decker London tour bus departs from the Plaza for a 1-hour twenty minute bi-lingual tour of Cordoba. A bargain at 150 Pesos or $10 US.

This is THE center of the city. You find all kind of shops and banks all around without mentioning restaurants and nice attractions.
One thing that you HAVE to do... is to watch the floor!! Yes... there was a president, Julio Argentino Roca, (you can meet him in the 100 pesos note!) that said that people walked looking at the floor without paying attention to the lovely buildings around, like the cathedral, the old municipality, etc. So he had an idea: reproduce this buildings facade on the floor.
So, next time you go to Plaza San Martín, watch the floor!!! :)

Another great Plaza de Armas! It is kind of a Center of tourist action with numerous sites, museums, and points of interest nearby. There are numerous bars and restaurants in and around, plus some excellent pedestrian walkways lined with shopping opportunities
