We couldn't get tickets with a tour to the Alhambra on our brief holiday in the area, since we had left it too late to book. But then we found the Granada card and booked a seperate tour without a ticket, and it turned out to be the best thing ever. We had total freedom to arrive and enter the Alhambra, we used public transport, which was very easy, and the additional access to the different museums is a great way to spend 72h in the area. On top of it, the price for the card for 72h including entry to the Nasrid Palaces PLUS the independent tour was still cheaper than a ticket with a tour to the Alhambra ONLY. So this card is definitely the way to go, I also appreciate the separate bus ticket cards that are rechargeable and all the additional access to museums and other points of interest. Don't miss the cathedral!

We could enter the Alhambra with the pass. The information said that the time reserved for the nasried palace was the time you were allowed into the Alhambra. In our case it was 5 p.m. in the afternoon. We went earlier (by bus) and it turned out that we could then just enter Generalife already. This might be useful to mention. Buses worked fine and we visited some other things. The tourist train didn't really work. Logged on and then waited 25 minutes for the next train. Waited another 20 minutes for the next one. That one too was full. Then gave up. Had a good time and took the bus to the bus station to leave for Malaga.

Good solution to be able to visit Alhambra with Nasrid Palaces. A bit expensive: good if you spend a few days in Granada and if you take advantage of many of the included entrances

The granada card is super convenient for quick access to attractions. Also convenient is the bus package, which is very easy to activate.

I received all information regarding the ticket. I am glad that the staff, at the entrance, pointed out the time for Nasrid Palaces as I haven't paid attention to this detail.

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.
