Incredible

We visited twice, once on a guided tour and then again on our own. The guided tour gave us an idea of what we were getting into and just how much is actually there, but our second visit gave us chance to explore properly. The...More

Must see - truly amazing

This is one of the worlds truly things to see. It is huge and words are hard to explain. What amazed me was the use of Roman technology in the 1100's. I don't believe anywhere else in the world this has happened. The Arabs had...More

An amazing place

I visited the Alhambra with my partner without a guide (or audio guide). We arrived around 1pm and had our visit inside Nasrid Palace at 2pm. This was a perfect amount of time to explore the Palace of Charles V and the Alcazaba. You have...More

Beautiful Place but rude staff

Had a great visit except that you have a scheduled time to see both palaces and since they both have lines it took an hour to get through the first palace then the second line and the man turned us away. Sneared and said our...More

Excellent. Book in advance.

If you’ve booked on line, it is best to avoid any hassle by collecting your tickets the evening before from the farthest away gate (and be sure to bring your passports). The security man will allow you past the strap barrier to the ticket counter....More

Must See

The Alhambra is a must see. A tour guide may be helpful because the area is quite large and if you’re on a time crunch you’ll want to see some key pieces for sure. Definitely not a place I would bring children under the age...More

Highlight of Granada

This is a place you can spend a day walking around enjoying not just the architecture but also the park.

Book in advance online. This place should be one of the wonders of the world!

Huge complex with plenty of things to see. Visited the Alcazaba, Gardens and Generalife. Do buy your tickets upfront online especially for the Nasrid Palace. Tickets for the Palace are really limited. Our mistake was we booked to late so we didn't get to see...More

Hello. My spot to enter Nasrid Palaces are 08:30 in the morning. How can I be there 08:30 if the gates for the complex only open this time? Should I enter by the Puerta de la Justicia?

Hi..The Gate of Justice is the closest to Nasrid.We entered through this gate.You can linger around the courtyard in front of Nasrid or if they dont allow you in just yet at the gates, it is only 5min walk. Enjoy!

HI. Having gone on the website, I am totally confused about the best ticket to get - not knowing the Alhambra at all it#s difficult to think about which bits are essentials, and which bits could be add-ons. For example, is the night visit worth doing as an extra. What tour do you advise to get the best experience. We are there for three days (Saturday to Monday) and don't want to book tours which mean we see the same parts twice. Many thanks.

We did not go at night. We were confused like you by their horrible website.I realized it is confusing because the Alhambra people themselves are confused, or intentionally confusing so you end up buying multiple tickets... More
