Awesome but have a plan in case someone gets lost

This is a huge complex and we lost one of our group. That said, it's jaw-dropping gorgeous. Be sure to book tickets in advance and be warned that the timed entry to the palace is strictly enforced. It takes a couple of hours to take...More

Beautiful architecture and views

The Alhambra is well worth visiting. We booked a tour which had ~20 people in the group. We had an afternoon tour which lasted ~3 hours and were given headsets so we could clearly hear the tour guide. The tour guide was very informative, had...More

Amazing

What an amazing place to visit. Well worth the hassle of getting the tickets. And boy, was it hassle. Beautiful gardens and palaces. Try to work yourself in between the numerous groups to enjoy it at your own pace.

Intricate artistic detail, have walking shoes on

Walked around for about three hours and still feel like we could have seen more. Was tired of walking and no longer appropriately appreciating the artistic detail.

Re: Alhambra Palace I’ve already reserved our entrance tickets to the Nasrid Palace with the Granada Card and have printed out the confirmation. However, there are reviews that report that this will not help to shorten the wait time on horrendously long lines at the ticket window on the opposite side of the building to the entrance to Nasrid. Is it possible to obtain the actual tickets the previous day? Any other ways to avoid the long line and risk being late? Also, can we bring our lunch with us, or is there a place inside that sells salads or sandwiches? Thanks for your help, Anne
