Jovizz:

I usually book to see the Nasrid Palace at 9:30 am, when I can get good light for photographs.

If you want to stay a long time, book at 11 am. Read Buying Alhambra Tickets Online.

Thank you both, think I would prefer the morning session if the lighting is better, however not sure about an 8.30am start Cadiz-Lover as it will be the morning after our first night in Granada sampling the tapas and vino on offer! If we do book a 9.30 slot for Nasrid Palace and go there as our first port of call can we still have enough time afterwards to do Alcazaba and Generalife?

In that case, and if you are happy to walk up having already got your tickets in hand then why not make it 10am slot or even 10.30 ... you just need to enter the ticketed point at the Generalife before the 2pm cut off when only those with an afternoon session can enter.

Dear both, we are going in April and also asking pretty much the samw question, so by what your saying is you have to book an exact time to see the Nasrid Palace, you can visit the other bits as you will......you can stay in the Genaralife into the afternoon session even if you have a morning ticket?

Seagull, you are correct. We visited in Nov, entered the main gate at 11.00 but Nasrid time was 13.30 we stayed until around 15.30 before leaving the site.
