Córdoba City Tour (tel. 351/424-6605) buses explore the main tourist spots in town. The tour lasts 1 1/2 hours, visiting 40 sights, so it is especially good if you're spending only a short time in Córdoba; you'll see a lot in under 2 hours. The double-decker red buses leave from Plaza San Martín every day except Wednesday, at 10am, 4, and 6pm. The tour costs $6 (£3.30). The tourism office also arranges 2-hour walking tours of the city, departing at 9:30am and 4:30pm, for $2 (£1.10). Call in advance to arrange a tour in English (tel. 351/428-5600). In addition to the sights listed below, an excellent antiques and handicrafts fair, Feria Artesanal del Paseo de las Artes, opens at Achaval Rodríguez and La Cañada on Saturday and Sunday (3-10pm in winter, 6-11pm in summer).
