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.

Nice open plaza surrounded mostly by historical buildings. Large flag in front of the Cathedral and central monument very photogenic. Several shaded places.

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

Just like any typical Latin America ciudad or pueblo, Plaza San Martin still has the colonial feel even if it’s in a large, busy, and modern city.

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!

This is the starting place for paid and free walking tours. All of the main attractions are within a few blocks of this square. Start by visiting the Tourist office next to the Cathedral.

In the heart of Cordoba and in front of the beautiful cathedral you will find this square. A place there you can enjoy as well as relax.

Nice spot to sit and watch the world go by. It's also surrounded by historical buildings and is close to many of the cities attractions. And of course contains the seemingly ubiquitous statue of Jose San Martin.
