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!

The Plaza is worth a stroll around the large statue. The double decker London tour bus departs from the Plaza for a 1-hour twenty minute bi-lingual tour of Cordoba. A bargain at 150 Pesos or $10 US.

This is THE center of the city. You find all kind of shops and banks all around without mentioning restaurants and nice attractions.
One thing that you HAVE to do... is to watch the floor!! Yes... there was a president, Julio Argentino Roca, (you can meet him in the 100 pesos note!) that said that people walked looking at the floor without paying attention to the lovely buildings around, like the cathedral, the old municipality, etc. So he had an idea: reproduce this buildings facade on the floor.
So, next time you go to Plaza San Martín, watch the floor!!! :)

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

The main cathedral sits on the plaza, but there are other things to see here and it's a great place to simply relax and people watch. The fountains could do with an overhaul and clean up - the pools are disgustingly dirty and full of litter - but otherwise, this is a fun spot in the heart of the city.
