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.

It was great that we were able to get tickets at relatively short notice, albeit without the Nasrid Palace, but better than nothing. The only thing that needs to be improved is the audio guide, at first a bit critical to take money for it at all (4€/person) because there is a free and much better audio guide on the grounds of the Alhambra (but of course this is not mentioned anywhere when booking, so of course you book it in addition) which is linked to a virtual map so you can't get lost or accidentally listen to the wrong audio. This happened several times at the beginning with the audio guide from Headout, which is why we stopped using it after about 15 minutes and only used the official one.

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.

Despite the negative reviews found on the Web our experience was great. We had excellent tour with Miguel who spoke excellent english, he was really experienced and knew everything about Alhambra and Generalife and much more. Nicely spent 2.5 hours with interesting guidance and good sense of humor.

We picked up our Bus tickets a day before the Alhambra visit. We were able to ride the train but not the city busses. The city bus card became valid only after the Alhambra visit. I had chatted with headout TWICE about this. They had told me that the bus ticket would be valid a day before. Wrong!

Your experience

An ancient palace, fortress and citadel, the Alhambra is an eighth-century-old site that is one of the few surviving remnants of the Nasrid Dynasty, the last Islamic Kingdom in Western Europe.

The timeless beauty of Alcazaba

Be transported through time as you explore the Alcazaba, the fortress that is one of the oldest parts of the Alhambra. The rustic beauty of the Candle Tower and the charming garden of Adarves will amaze you. Bask in the splendor of the summer palace of the Nasrids, the Generalife Palace. Stroll through the lush greenery of the Generalife gardens, past fountains and turquoise waters and take in the incredible scenic views of your surroundings.
