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! :))

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!

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
