Córdoba (Argentina)
Travel Guide > South America > Argentina > Córdoba
Introduction
Córdoba is the capital of the Argentine province with the same name. Although it is the second-largest city in the country, it has a distinctly small-town feel to it. Córdoba is mainly known for its university; for tourists, the city is primarily worth a visit because of its pleasant centre, good restaurants, excellent nightlife and beautiful surroundings.

Sights and Activities
The main sight associated with Córdoba are the Sierras Chicas, a range of hills/mountains close to the city. It is an excellent spot for hikes if you find the Andes a tad too challenging.
