Cordoba: Exploring the Long Bridge from Game of Thrones, A Must-Visit Destination

1. Checked in at the Long Bridge of Volantis, the bustling city of merchants that Tyrion Lannister once visited. The bridge, steeped in history and intrigue, is a must-see for any fan of the series.

2. But imagine my surprise when I discovered just how quaint and compact it really is! In the show, the bridge appears as a grand and imposing structure, but in reality, it’s only as wide as shown in the second picture. The contrast between expectation and reality is unexpectedly charming and endearing, adding a touch of whimsy to the experience.

3. Just in time for the Cordoba Courtyard Festival at the Viana Palace, a vibrant celebration of nature’s beauty. The palace grounds were a riot of colors, with an incredible variety of flowers in full bloom, creating a unique and exquisite rustic charm that is quintessentially European. I’ve carefully selected the most stunning photos to share with you all, capturing the essence of this enchanting event.

ps: We bought tickets for the 1 PM slot at the Viana Palace but didn’t arrive until 5 PM [laughing]. After seeing many posts on Xiaohongshu warning about strict entry times, I had almost given up hope. However, when the kind security guard saw our tickets, he smiled warmly and asked the staff to make an exception for us. This small act of kindness truly made our day, and we are incredibly grateful to the wonderful people of Cordoba ~ [crying] [crying] [crying]
