How to get to and park at Córdoba train station without hassle

The clearer you are about the access route and the type of parking you need (we explain it below), the less stress you’ll have — and the less time you’ll waste at the last minute. And if what you want is to park just a few minutes’ walk from the station, a very convenient option is Parking El Vial Córdoba, especially if you’re travelling with luggage or you’re short on time.

How to get to Córdoba train station depending on how you travel

The station (Córdoba Central) is in the Vial Norte / Glorieta de las Tres Culturas area, well connected by main avenues. That makes access easier, but it also means there’s a lot of movement throughout the day.

Getting to Córdoba station by car: access routes and what you should know

If you’re coming from outside the city, it’s common to enter Córdoba via motorways such as the A-4 or A-45 and then link towards Vial Norte / Paseo de la Victoria to reach the station. On the final stretch, what usually helps most is following signs for “Estación” and sticking to main roads, because a small detour can force you into extra loops with traffic lights.

Three practical things to keep in mind:

• Between parking, unloading luggage and walking to the entrance, it always takes longer than you think — allow enough time.
• If your train leaves early or you return late, consider 24h parking options.
• If you don’t want to rely on finding a space on the street, the most convenient option is to have your parking planned in advance.

Public transport to reach Córdoba train station: buses and taxi

If you don’t want to drive to the station or you’re only making a quick stop, public transport can work well — just keep an eye on schedules and check they match your train time. Planning is key, and if anything goes wrong, having a parking space gives you peace of mind.

• Taxi/VTC: usually the most direct option if you’re in a hurry or prefer to avoid parking. Check the rates because many companies have fixed station fares, which can make the trip much more expensive.
• Urban bus: the station is well connected by lines that pass through the area (for example, 3, 4, 5, 10, 11, 13 and RB). It’s a practical alternative if you have time and you’re not carrying luggage.

Walking to Córdoba train station from the city centre

If you’re already in the city centre or around Paseo de la Victoria, walking to the station is perfectly feasible. Still, if you’re carrying luggage or you’re tight on time, it may be more convenient to look for alternatives such as booking a parking space.

What’s the best option to reach the station depending on where you’re coming from?

From Córdoba city centre or the Mezquita–Cathedral area

If you’re driving from the city centre or the historic district (Mezquita–Cathedral area), the journey is usually short — but it can slow down depending on the time. In this case, what tends to work best is:

If you’re catching a train, leave with enough time and head to the station with your parking already decided. Driving from the centre is straightforward via Avenida República Argentina or Avenida Gran Capitán.

From other cities or the airport

If you’re coming from outside Córdoba, it’s common to enter via the main motorways (such as the A-4 or A-45) and continue towards the station area. On these routes, our main recommendation is to avoid improvising at the end: access is usually easy, but once you enter the city the pace can change due to traffic lights and congestion.
