The guide was friendly and provided many details about the places visited, and the time was chosen so that it wasn't too crowded.

In two days, I was able to comfortably explore many beautiful sights. The 48-hour ticket was perfect for this, as I had a whole day to see the entire Alhambra and the Generalife and entry to the Nasrid Palace worked perfectly thanks to the fixed time slot without queuing. Admission to Granada Cathedral and the San Jerónimo Monastery was also free with this ticket. A good choice for a first visit! :))

The place is amazing, the views are breathtaking and the architecture is interesting and amazing, taking you back in time. I absolutely recommend the experience, but be prepared, because the place is huge and you need hours to explore it all.☺️

Two bus ticket pickup points were not working, I had to go to the ones further away. It would be better to install them at the bus stops at the bus or train station, so that they would have them as early as the first day. I had a few rides left. The audio guide was not included in the city tour ticket. It would be good to indicate in the ticket also the times of the various attractions, we were not able to go to the technology park since Monday was closed and Sunday was open only half a day, we would have arranged differently.

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!

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.
