Cordoba
Centro is the strongest district for tourism, walkability and accommodation. It contains the historic core, commercial streets and many of the places visitors want to see first. The main trade-off is petty theft risk around very busy tourist areas such as the Judería and monument zones, especially in crowds and at night, so the safety score is slightly lower than the best residential districts.
