Information about the Guided Tour of the Alhambra

The Alhambra and the Generalife is one of the monuments that you must visit at least once in your life. It is and will remain a paradigm of beauty. 

The Alhambra, since the Nasrid period, has preserved a series of cultural values that have increased over the centuries and that we want you to get to know during your visit to Granada. The oriental attractions of Granada, which for years the romantic travellers were responsible for spreading universally, makes the Alhambra stand out with all justice. It is an Islamic palace from medieval times that has survived to the present day. We will show you the beauty of its coloured plasterwork ceilings and wall coverings, the tiles of the skirting boards, the marble of the floors and the gardens, which are intimately linked to the architecture by their evocative paradisiacal atmosphere.

With our tour, you will discover the palatine city of the Alhambra, planned and built to be the seat of the Nasrid dynasty between 1238 and 1492, and later slightly modified by the Christian kings. The layout that we will encounter during the guided tour of the Alhambra follows a long tradition in the medieval Islamic West, and specifically in Al-Andalus. We will walk through the 105,000 square metres that the entire Monumental Complex occupies. During our visit to the palatine city, you will discover the most important area, as it was part of the family residence of the dynasty and is known today as “the Nasrid Courtyards”. In this area we will find a unitary character but distributed in different palaces, built in different periods, almost all of them adapting and redecorating their predecessor, or building on a new site. Their structures are similar to any other house, but with larger dimensions and their own decoration.

But if there is one thing that stands out from our walk through the Alhambra, it will be the patios, the viewpoints and the gardens where water and vegetation play a major role. In these gardens we will find the close relationship that they awoke in their conception with the Koranic paradise longed for by the Muslims.

This wonder of the world, inscribed on the World Heritage List in 1984, is not only one of the most visited monuments in the world, but also a constant source of inspiration for artists, musicians, writers and creators in general.

Tickets pour l'Alhambra

The Alhambra is a building that will impress you with its uniqueness. It is a beautiful and inspiring Monumental Complex to walk through its interior, but above all you will have the need to answer hundreds of questions that you will be able to solve with a specialised guide who will accompany you throughout the tour. You won’t be able to leave the Alhambra without the need to return, to refresh your visual contact with its decoration, its patios and its views. With this tour, you will be able to visit the monument without the need to wait in the long queues at the ticket office to get your ticket to the Alhambra. Our guide will accompany you, guide you through the tour and tell you the many stories and legends that surround the Nasrid complex. You can stop to observe the earthly beauty of the Alhambra and take photos as souvenirs.

Alhambra of Granada: schedule of guided tours

Adapting to the needs of your stay in Granada, we have put at your disposal different routes in the morning and afternoon in Spanish, English and French, so that you don’t miss out on discovering the wonders hidden in this palatial fortress.

Pro Tip:  This guide is a helpful tool for planning your trip, and it will give you a glimpse of what to expect from visiting the Alhambra. However, it cannot replace a guided tour. In such a complex monument as the Alhambra, we recommend booking  a guided tour of the Alhambra, Generalife, and Nasrid Palaces . You will be dazzled by the beauty and fascinating history of the place.

Visiting Spain’s Famous Alhambra: What We’ll Cover

The Alhambra, which means “the red one” in Arabic, is one of the top things you must include in your trip to the south of Spain. The intricate citadel and complex of buildings from the Moorish kingdom is an extraordinary monument and among the most relevant historical places in the country.

So here are our recommendations for how to visit the Alhambra and get the best experience out of your trip. We’ll cover tickets, hours, and guided tours. And we also have some tips about eating nearby and where to find the best panoramic view of the monument while listening to flamenco guitar music. Sounds like the perfect day at Alhambra!

Visiting the Alhambra: Hours, Info, And Tickets

How much time to budget, how to get to the alhambra, what to see at the alhambra, guided tours of the alhambra, facts and history about the alhambra, where to eat nearby, where to stay in granada.

Things To Know:

You can visit each area of the site only once, but you are free to exit the building complex if you need to, and return to complete your visit later that day. For example, if you want to have lunch outside, you’ll still be able to go back in and explore some more.

The site has an accessible route for visitors with reduced mobility who can either access with a wheelchair or hire one (under availability) at the access pavilion. 

For security reasons, you cannot access the route with baby strollers. However, you can trade the stroller at the entrance with a baby backpack that you will return at the end of your visit.

Touring Alhambra can be overwhelming. Although the Council of Alhambra and Generalife don’t organize guided tours—they only provide audio guides—they strongly recommend contracting a licensed guide to visit the Alhambra and get the best out of your visit.

There’s a lot to see at the Alhambra, so don’t hesitate to budget some extra time here. Plan on approximately 3 hours, but the site is massive, so you must focus on its most valuable points. A licensed guide will ensure you visit all the attractions in the palaces and gardens and save time at the entrance by skipping the line.

The Alhambra sits in Granada’s city center. However, its elevated position on top of Sabika hill can make access difficult. You’ll definitely need to plan ahead to get to the Alhambra based on your level of activity or public transportation that you’re comfortable with.

Before going to the Alhambra on foot, please consider that all three routes are uphill, so it could take longer and be a bit strenuous if you’re unused to walking hills. However, it’s a beautiful way to see the city as you ascend higher to this amazing citadel. We’ve mapped out a few walking routes from some key areas within the city so you can decide if you want to trek your way up.

Depart from Cuesta Gomérez

Take the Cuesta de Gomérez from Plaza Nueva square, and you will access the Alhambra complex through the Puerta de las Granadas’ gate. This one may be the best route if you are in the city center and want to enjoy nature, as it goes through the Alhambra wood. It takes around 20-minutes.

See the route

Depart from Cuesta del Realejo 

From Plaza del Realejo square, you can get to the entrance pavilion by walking the Cuesta del Realejo. This route is a good option if you are in that area of the city. It takes around 10 minutes to get to the Alhambra entry from Plaza del Realejo.  

Access from Cuesta del Rey Chico (Cuesta de los Chinos)

If you are in the North of the city, close to Paseo de Los Tristes, the most convenient access is through Cuesta del Rey Chico. It is a 13-minute walk to get to the main entrance.

Private cars cannot get to the Alhambra from the city center. Instead, drive the Granada beltway (N-323 / A-44) to the Ronda Sur (A-395). Then follow the signs to Alhambra, which ends at the public parking area. 

The guarded parking has different areas for cars, buses, and caravans. It is open 24 hours. From here you’ll need to walk the rest of the way to the fortress.

There are three main bus lines connected to Alhambra:

C30 – From Alhambra to the city center, stopping at Isabel La Católica square.

C32: From the Alhambra to the Albaicín neighborhood.

C35: Stops at Cementerio, Barranco del Abogado, Isabel la Católica square.

The complex history of the monument resulted in a network of palaces, gardens, and defensive buildings. Unfortunately, the area suffered several damages over the centuries, so only two of the six castles still stand. But there is much more to see and an unbelievable amount to learn about.

Here is what we love the most, but you can dive deeper into the  top things to see in this Alhambra  article, written by one of our resident historians.

• Patio de la Acequia (terraced pools at Generalife)
• Palace of the Lions
• Palace of The Comares
• Hall Of The Abencerrajes
• Muslim Caligraphy inscriptions (walls)
• la Torre del Homenaje viewpoint

Pro Tip:  After visiting the Alhambra, head to the picturesque Albaicín neighborhood to enjoy the best postcard view of the monument. The hill is opposite Sabika hill, where the Alhambra stands. From the San Nicolás viewpoint, you will have a magical view of the Alhambra, especially at night, when the monument lights up and street artists head to the area to perform flamenco music.

With a history dating back to the 12th century, this remarkable fortress-turned-monument has so much to explore. You really could spend half a day here if you were a history buff. Even if you aren’t, there are numerous areas to visit and it’s spread over a large space.

Most major attractions provide guided tours, however, the Alhambra only offers audio guides. While audio guides can be helpful and budget-friendly, the Alhambra really comes to life with the help of a licensed guide who is authorized to lead tours at this historic monument.

You can make the most out of your visit to the Alhambra by booking a skip-the-line tour with a passionate local guide. You’ll bypass the long lines and learn so many fun facts, tragic stories, and amazing details about the Alhambra, Generalife, and more.

The history of this masterpiece is quite complex because it starts way before the pinnacle of its glory days and final surrender. To deeply understand the importance of the Alhambra, the best-preserved monument of the Muslims in the Iberian Peninsula, we must navigate the convoluted history of the Moorish era and the Spanish Reconquista.

Here are a few cool facts and historical picks, but more than a short chronology is needed to get the whole scenario. To know more, read the  brief history of Alhambra , written by Dale Pappas, Ph.D. 

• The stalactite dome in the Hall of the Abencerrajes is said to be made of more than 5,000 time honeycombed cells, according to Britannica.
• The theater inside Generalife is often used today for international performances of dance and music.
• Many of the inscriptions on the walls look decorative, but they’re also scripted excerpts from the Qur’an.
• The pool in the Court of Myrtles in the Palace of the Comares used to help cool the apartments nearby.
• The Muslim army invaded the South of Spain from the North of Africa in 711 AD.
• Muslim rulers’ fortifications from 800 AD stood over the Roman fortification on the Sabika hill, where the Alhambra sits nowadays.
• Berber Zirid dynasty renewed the fortification’s walls in the 11th century, according to historian John D. Hoag.
• Nasrid sultan Muhammad I started the renovation of the Alhambra in the 13th century.
• Nasrid dynasty kept working at the Alhambra construction and decorations over the decades till 1491.
• At the peak of the Spanish Reconquista, Granada surrendered to Christian rulers Ferdinand and Isabella of Aragon on January 2nd, 1492. 
• UNESCO included the Alhambra in the World Heritage List in 1984.

Everyone in Spain will tell you the same:  tapeo  (eating tapas) in Granada is on a different level. You can stop for a beer or a glass of wine anywhere in Spain and expect to be served a courtesy bite, like olives or chips. However, in Granada, don’t get surprised if you get a free burger with your drink (yes, a proper burger).

Of course, there are also sophisticated restaurants. You can learn more about the best places in our list of the  top ten restaurants in Granada near the Alhambra .

Parador de Granada  | €€ | Formal dining and local tapas in a 15th-century convent built over a Nasrid palace. The food is fantastic, and the garden will leave you speechless.

La Trastienda  | €€ | Finest hams, cold cuts, and cheeses to enjoy the real spirit of Granada

Ruta del Azafrán  | €€ | Local and North African-inspired dishes to celebrate the Moorish past of the city

The Best Way to See Alhambra: Guided Tour or Independent Visit?

The Alhambra is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Spain and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.  It’s a place we have wanted to go to for a long time so we planned a trip to visit Granada so we could see it.

When I saw all the ticket and tour options for the Alhambra, I was a bit overwhelmed.  I wasn’t sure if we should buy tickets (including an audio tour) or pay for a guided tour.  What would be the best way to see the Alhambra?

In this post, I will tell you more about the options for visiting the Alhambra along with the pros and cons so that you can decide what is right for you.  Additionally, I will share tips for visiting the Alhambra so you can make the most of your time there.

The Alhambra is a palace and fortress complex on the Sabika hill in Granada.  It was a residence for the Nasrid dynasty, the last Muslim kingdom in Spain, and then became the Royal Court of Ferdinand and Isabella, the Catholic monarchs.

The construction began in the 13th century by Muhammad I and later modified many times by subsequent rulers.   The most significant transformation took place during the reigns of Yusuf I and Muhammad V in the 14th century.

The palace that Charles V commissioned in 1526 was left uncompleted in the early 17th century.  The Alhambra palaces fell into disrepair and were occupied by squatters.  Napoleon’s troops also destroyed parts of the complex.

One of the people that was living in the Alhambra was the American writer, Washington Irving.  He wrote the book Tales of the Alhambra which created international interest in the site.

Today, the Alhambra is a popular tourist destination and UNESCO World Heritage site.  It is known for its architecture, intricate tile work, and beautiful gardens, and is considered one of the most famous examples of Moorish architecture in the world. 

When you visit, the three main areas to see are the Alcazaba (the oldest section, a military fort), the Nasrid Palaces, and Generalife.  While those sections are all ticketed there are other places inside the Alhambra that are free. 

It could be a good idea to take a guided tour if you want to learn more about the history, architecture, and significance of the site.  A guide can provide expert commentary and insights that will enhance your visit and give you a deeper understanding.  Still, it ultimately depends on personal preference, as some visitors might prefer to explore the Alhambra independently.

Pros of Taking a Guided Tour

As mentioned, there are definitely positives about taking a guided tour.  Let’s take a look at the reasons that you might want to opt for a guided tour of the Alhambra.

In general, I think it is much more interesting to listen to a real person talk than to listen to a recording.  They have more energy and can tailor their speech to the audience.  For example, they can go into more detail if the audience shows interest in a particular topic.

Our guide, Carmen, was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the Alhambra.  I think if asked she probably could recite all the rulers that lived in the Alhambra along with the specific modifications that they did.  She seemed to know everything about the site.

Throughout our tour, she pointed out interesting details in the architecture and explained the reasoning behind some of the design.   When we were walking to the next area, she would fill the gaps with entertaining tales.  We learned a bunch about the history of the Alhambra (and the surrounding area).

Even with lots of other people and tour groups around we never had any issues hearing our guide.  We had radios with headphones and she had a microphone so we didn’t even have to be next to her to be able to take in her commentary.

I did download the app that is the audio guide for the Alhambra (you can get it here for free).  It didn’t take long for me to realize that we got a lot more information from our tour guide than what is included in the audio guide.

When you have a live tour guide, you can ask questions.  Since I didn’t know much about Alhambra before I visited, I thought it was important that I be able to ask questions to make sure I was understanding what I was told.

In addition to asking clarifying questions, you can also ask questions about specific topics that interest you.  For example, I wanted to know more about Catherine of Aragon (King Henry VIII’s first wife) at the Alhambra.  While a niche subject like that might not have been included in the regular tour, our tour guide, Carmen, was able to tell me more about Catherine and the impact her time at the Alhambra had on her.

The Nasrid Palaces will be the highlight of your visit to the Alhambra.  Since the area is so popular, everyone has a timed-entry spot to see it.

If you are visiting the Alhambra on your own, it is your responsibility to get yourself to the entrance of the Nasrid Palaces at the designated time.  For me, I felt like worrying about making my entry time for the Nasrid Palaces would distract me from enjoying other parts of the Alhambra.

It is something you have to take seriously because if you miss your turn, you might not be able to see some of the most beautiful parts of the complex.  To make things worse, you would not be able to get a refund either. When you go with a tour, your guide takes on that burden and you can just enjoy your visit.

Alhambra is big.  It’s hard to realize just how big it is before you see it for yourself.

Before our visit, we went to several viewpoints in Grenada to get a glimpse of the Alhambra.  I thought it looked massive but at that point, I didn’t realize that I wasn’t even including Generalife (the summer palace) in what I thought was the complex.  It is a short walk from the rest of the Alhambra.

Since there are maps and signs (mostly only in Spanish), you can find your own way, but it is easier if you go with a guide that knows the grounds.  All you have to do is stay with your group.  

Cons of Taking a Guided Tour

On the other side of the coin, there are negatives about taking a guided tour of the Alhambra.  You need to consider these points before making a decision.

When you go with a group tour, you lose some flexibility as your guide will determine how fast you go through the attraction.  You have to keep up with the group.

I was worried this could be an issue for us because we like to take our time and get as many photographs as possible.  It turned out that we were still able to get plenty of photos.  In many cases, when our guide saw that people were taking photos, she would pause and allow time.

The bigger problem with getting the best photos was all the other tourists.  In some cases, it wasn’t possible to get photos without anyone else in them.  This probably would have been a problem if we visited independently too.

Overall, I thought the tour was paced well.  We kept moving but I didn’t feel rushed.  Also, with the headphones, we didn’t have to stand right in front of our tour guide, so we could look around a bit if the situation warranted.

Not all tour guides are created equal.  Unfortunately during my travels, I have had a few tour guides that didn’t meet my expectations.

I think in most cases the issue wasn’t that the tour guide didn’t know their stuff.  It was more that they weren’t able to communicate effectively.  Sometimes it might have been a language barrier.

While I can’t guarantee your tour guide will be as wonderful as Carmen, judging from the reviews that I read there are a lot of excellent tour guides at the Alhambra.

Yes, you are going to have to pay a bit more to have a knowledgeable guide show you around the Alhambra, but I think the benefits justify it.  

For us, it made sense to pay for a live tour guide so that we could get the most out of our visit to the Alhambra.  We also felt like we would be able to enjoy it more because we wouldn’t have to stress about getting lost or missing our timed entry slot.

Yes, we thought so.  I felt like we saw and learned more than we would have just using an audio tour.   Thanks to our tour guide Carmen’s energy it wasn’t boring.  It was also nice that we didn’t have to worry about finding our way around or missing important parts.

Tips for Visiting Alhambra

The Alhambra is a popular site with a lot to see.  I have a few tips that I wanted to share that will help ensure that you enjoy your visit.

As you may have guessed, like many other popular tourist attractions, there is limited capacity and if you don’t book your tickets (or tour) in advance you may not be able to visit.  For the Alhambra, this probably means booking more than a month in advance during the busy months.

Direct tickets tend to sell out the fastest.  If no more direct tickets are available, you may be able to find some through third-party sellers like Get Your Guide (see options here ).  You may also still be able to purchase guided tours (see options here ).  

If you don’t want to limit your options, I would recommend booking your Alhambra visit as early as possible.  Get Your Guide tours and tickets have a reasonable cancellation policy where you can get a full refund if you cancel up to three days in advance – see their options for Alhambra here .  

Note that if you book your tickets directly there is no option to refund or change once you purchase.

If you want to book the same tour we took, you can do that here .

When it comes to buying Alhambra tickets or tours, you will be surprised with all the options.  While it can be nice to have choices, when I was looking to buy my tickets it was intimidating.

At the time of writing there were 8 different ticket options available directly for the Alhambra with one more coming soon.  You can see the options here .

Some of the titles of the types of tickets weren’t very clear.  For example, the “Alhambra General” option is labeled as a complete visit, but the “Dobla de Oro General” ticket costs more.  After a bit of research the Dobla de Oro General ticket includes the Andalusian monuments which are outside of the Alhambra complex.

You also have the option to visit the Alhambra at night. Evening tickets for the Nasrid Palaces are separate from the tickets for Generalife and the Gardens.  It is not possible to see the Alcazaba at night.  Most experts recommend that you see the Alhambra for the first time during the day and then if you want to go back for a second time, go at night.

If you think the Alhambra ticket options are too much, then don’t look at all the tour options .   After trying to decipher the differences between the different tours, I just focused on making sure the tour included the Nasrid Palaces, Alcazaba, and Generalife.  I also read the reviews carefully.

We chose to take this tour .  If you haven’t already gathered from the rest of the post, we were happy with our choice.

While the Alhambra is walking distance from the Granada city center, we recommend that you take the bus.  To walk there you would have to climb up a steep hill which is a good workout for your legs.

Just remember that during your visit to the Alhambra you will be on your feet for at least three hours.  You will be walking up and down hills and stairs.  You don’t want your legs to be tired before you even start.

It’s easy to take the bus and cheap too.  Just head to Plaza Isabel la Católica to get on the C32  or C30 bus, which runs about every 8 – 12 minutes.  It’s a short ride to the “Alhambra – Generalife 2” stop and only costs €1.40 per person which you can pay in cash to the bus driver.

If you still have energy left, you can walk back (or take the bus).  Since it’s downhill, it’s not difficult.  We took the bus to the Alhambra and then walked back to where we were staying at the Granada Five Senses Hotel .

You will be on your feet most of the time you spend visiting the Alhambra.  This is not the time to wear brand new shoes or any footwear that might be uncomfortable.

Also keep in mind there are steps and some areas where the floor may be a little uneven.  You’ll want to wear shoes that are comfortable and easy to walk in.   

All tickets for the Nasrid Palaces have a timed-entry slot.  You need to keep this in mind so that you make sure you don’t miss it as most people consider it to be the best part of the Alhambra.

If you decide to go with a guided tour, your tour guide will make sure you don’t miss the time slot.  This does mean that you need to be on time for the start of your tour or they may need to leave without you.

While I usually leave my passport in the hotel safe when I am sightseeing, I had to bring it with me to the Alhambra.  There are three different checkpoints where we had to show our passports along with our tickets.  This applies whether you visit on your own or as part of a guided tour.

Since you have to book your ticket in advance, you may not be able to avoid bad weather days.  Check the weather forecast as the date approaches and dress appropriately.  If rain is in the forecast, bring an umbrella or hood.

A good amount of the time you spend at the Alhambra will be outdoors.  You don’t want the weather to ruin your visit.

The January day we went to Alhambra it rained, and our tour took place as normal.  We were thankful we had hoods and waterproof jackets, so we were able to stay mostly dry.

We enjoyed our visit to Alhambra in spite of the weather.  At the beginning the rain was heavy and the visibility was limited, but it did clear up before we left and we did get to enjoy the views.

You need a ticket to see the Nasrid Palaces, Generalife, and the Alcazaba, but there is more to the Alhambra than just those areas.  The Alhambra Museum, Charles V Palace, Torre de las Cabezas, Puerta de la Justicia and more can be explored for free.

Some tours may take you to see some of these places, but probably not all.  If you have time and energy after your tour it’s worthwhile to go back in and see more.

We went back to the Alhambra so we could go inside the Charles V Palace.  It’s built in the classical renaissance style with a dramatic circular courtyard.  The contrast between this palace and the rest of the Alhambra is quite something.

The Charles V Palace is home to the Alhambra Museum and the Museum of Fine Arts.  Note there is an entry fee of €1.50 for the Museum of Fine Arts and photos are not allowed inside.

Alhambra Visit FAQs

You can easily spend a full day and not see everything in the Alhambra.  Our tour lasted around three hours (with a 15 minute break), then we went back after lunch to see the Charles V Palace.  

Yes, there are tours that will take you from other cities like Malaga and Seville so that you can see the Alhambra.  Check out the options here .

If possible, I would recommend spending more than a day in Granada.  Read about ideas for things to do in Granada besides the Alhambra here.

Yes.  If you want you could stay inside the walls of the Alhambra.  While it might not be as convenient as a hotel in the Granada city center, I think I would like to do it for one night for the novelty of it.

We passed two hotels during our tour.  The first one was Hotel America, which is budget-friendly and has very good reviews (see them here ).  They have a restaurant and an outdoor terrace.  Find out more about it here .

Just a short distance from Hotel America, we saw the more luxurious Parador de Granada (read reviews here ) which is housed inside a 15th-century convent.  Its restaurant has a terrace with views of the gardens.  Find out more about it here .

We had lunch at the Restaurante Jardines Alberto which is right across the street from the exit where our tour ended.  I especially enjoyed their croquetas and their portions were generous.  They have terraces so you can dine outside when the weather is pleasant.

Alternatively, the hotels inside the Alhambra have restaurants (as mentioned above).

Yes.  While it can’t be difficult to get photos with all the people, photography is allowed inside most areas of the Alhambra.  The only place I noticed that didn’t allow photography was the Museum of Fine Arts.

Yes, small bags are allowed.  They may be searched at the various checkpoints.  If you have a backpack, you will need to wear it on your front during the time you are in the Nasrid Palaces.

Yes.  If you like you can buy tickets and do an independent visit to the Alhambra.  Just keep in mind you will need to make sure that you don’t miss your timed entry to the Nasrid Palaces.  While there is a free audio guide for the Alhambra, it is not as comprehensive as the guided tours.

I think the best way to see the Alhambra is by guided tour.  It may be a bit more expensive, but having a live tour guide will be worth it.

We don’t take that many guided tours, but I am glad we did for the Alhambra.

If you want to book the tour we took, you can find it here .
