As well as the Alhambra, we visited the cathedral, the royal chapel and the tourist train. I think it would be worth getting clearer directions on how to use the bus (you have to exchange the voucher for the bus card - we couldn't figure out how to do it, even though we asked several people, including at the tourist information points, to no avail).

Amazing combo of entrances ands ticket. Aweful instructions and directions. We had a hard time figuring out where to get our buscards and how to get around. No one checks if you really are the person on the ticket.

İ liked granada. So, my experience was beautiful. What I don't like: 1- I could not store the ticket on my phone. Whenever I need to show my ticket I need to open it over the app and it has a few steps and takes time. 2- it was not easy to print bus tickets. There were Limited machines which we could print. We had to take a bus first (with money) and than search for a suitable one. 3- there was no prioty . We were just a visitor who bought their tickets before.

It was a total success .no problems to validate the bus tickets or the tourist train .the almabra beautiful place ..there were queues to enter the different places ...but with patience you manage to enjoy everything .we touched many areas in restoration would be interesting to know in advance and so schedule the tour..as it is long and you can lose time. If you are a tourist and do not have data ...it is impossible to listen to the audio guide.neither can be downloaded from home ..spectacular gardens in spring roses like sugar and cotton ...that wonder for your eyes ...you rejoice the soul to see them.

Your Experience

Immerse yourself in the timeless history and beauty of the Alhambra palace and fortress complex, one of the biggest examples of medieval Islamic culture and architecture, situated in picturesque Andalusia.

Soak Up The Alcazaba's Architecture

The oldest surviving fortress section of Alhambra, the Alcazaba has been restored many times over the years and consists of looming outer walls, towers, and ramparts. The Candle Tower, or ‘Torre de la Vela’, is a highlight of this section, being the largest tower. The scenic Garden of the Adarves, located on the low adarve of the fortress, is where you’ll get the most sprawling views of the city from here.

Visit The Promenade of the Cypress & San Francisco Gardens

A walkway with leaning cypress trees correctly describes the shaded Promenade of the Cypress. With this ticket, you also have access to the Secano or Drylands (an unirrigated section of land), and the lush and expansive San Francisco Gardens.

Wander Through The Generalife Palace & Gardens

Truly a masterpiece in outdoor garden architecture, the Generalife Palace & Gardens used to be an escape from court duties and affairs for the royal kings. Stroll through the manicured gardens with fountains and lush greenery, complementing the simple structure of the palace. Other spaces to explore here include the legendary Soultana’s Court, the oldest Water Stairway, and The Court of the Main Canal.
