The Alhambra of Granada needs to be planned properly before you arrive. The ticket is linked to each traveller's details, and access to the Nasrid Palaces runs on a fixed time slot, so the important thing here is to have that part sorted from the start. On this tour you go around with an official guide and with the ticket already managed, so you can get into the complex without depending on ticket offices or last-minute paperwork.
The visit lasts around 3 hours and covers the main areas open to the public within the site. Along the way you'll see the Generalife, the Alcazaba, the Nasrid Palaces and the area around the Palace of Charles V. The order isn't always the same, since it adapts to the time slot assigned for the Palaces, but the route covers the key areas of the Alhambra in a single visit.
Before the day of the tour there's only one thing you can't skip: bringing original ID for every participant. Access is controlled using the ticket's details, and the site may ask for ID at different points along the route.
The route is built around the time slot assigned for the Nasrid Palaces, since that's the only part of the site that works on a fixed entry slot. That's why the order can change from one group to another, but the visit always covers the same main areas, with an official guide, over around 3 hours.
On many slots the route starts at the Generalife, the garden palace area linked to the sultans' residential and leisure use. From there, the visit continues through the Secano, also known as the medina, the area that connects that part of the site with the rest of the complex and where part of everyday life within the Alhambra used to take place.
Next, the tour passes through the area around the Palace of Charles V, the Renaissance building erected inside the complex in the 16th century. The visit then continues through the Alcazaba, the defensive, oldest part of the fortress, where the site's military role and its position over Granada take centre stage.
The central part of the tour is the Nasrid Palaces, lasting around an hour and a half. This is where the former residence of the sultans is concentrated, along with many of the Alhambra's most recognisable spaces. If your group's time slot puts this part first, the visit is reorganised and continues afterwards through Charles V, the Alcazaba and the Generalife, without leaving out any of the areas open to the public included in the tour.
There are two things worth checking before confirming this booking. The first is that the ticket is issued under each participant's name. The second is that access to the Nasrid Palaces runs on a specific time slot, so the tour is arranged around that window to fit the full visit inside the site.
The visit lasts around 3 hours. That time can run slightly longer or shorter depending on the group's pace and the site's access controls.
The current rate is €51 per adult. Children aged 12 to 15 pay €31. Children aged 6 to 11 pay €8. Children under 6 have a rate of €0.
There are departures in Spanish, English and French. Groups are split by language, with no mixing during the visit.
The booking includes an official guide and the ticket to access the areas of the complex open to the public. The visit is organised around the time slot assigned to the Nasrid Palaces, which is why the order of the route can change.
In Spanish there are morning and afternoon slots depending on the season. From 15 October to 31 March, departures run between 9:00am and 12:00pm and between 2:30pm and 5:30pm. From 1 April to 14 October, departures run from 9:00am to 12:00pm and from 4:30pm to 7:30pm. In English, the visit runs year-round from 12:00pm to 3:00pm. In French, it runs year-round from 11:30am to 2:30pm, except Mondays and Sundays.
The meeting point is Paseo del Generalife 1F, at the ticket office area. There's an open area with a GUÍAS (GUIDES) sign, and the team waits there with an orange umbrella so it's easy to spot.
The Alhambra's accessibility is limited. With a stroller, the full route isn't possible, and it's more practical to bring a baby carrier. With a wheelchair, the Alcazaba can't be visited, and both the Generalife and Nasrid Palaces are covered in a reduced form due to the monument's layout.
After booking, you'll receive a voucher by email with the tour's information. It can be shown from your phone; no need to print it.
This visit is suitable for families, although if you're bringing a baby, it's best to avoid a stroller given the type of route. Pets are not allowed.
The maximum is 30 people per group, under site regulations. Groups of more than 6 people are given a personal audio system. It's also essential to bring original physical ID, as access control may request it at different points during the visit.
There's an important limit on this visit from the moment the tickets are issued. Since they are issued under each traveller's name and linked to their ID, the booking is non-refundable and cannot be rescheduled under normal conditions.
If your date changes, in practice this usually means arranging a new booking with new tickets, since the site doesn't offer flexible changes once access has been issued. It's therefore worth double-checking the day of your visit before confirming your details.
The Alhambra stays open even when the weather isn't ideal. Only in specific situations, such as strong winds or other conditions affecting safety, can certain areas of the site be closed.
Yes. The ticket managed for this visit includes access to the areas of the complex open to the public and, within that same ticket, access to the Nasrid Palaces with an assigned time slot. That time slot sets the order of the route.
It's essential to bring original ID for each participant. This can be a national ID card, passport or driving licence. Tickets are issued under each name, and the site may request ID at different checkpoints during the visit.
No. Once your ticket has been scanned and validated, you can't access the Nasrid Palaces or the Alcazaba a second time.
Suitcases must be left in a locker. A stroller isn't the most practical option, since there are stretches where it can't be used, so it's best to bring a baby carrier instead.

On the day of the tour, head to Paseo del Generalife 1F, at the ticket office area, in the open space by the GUÍAS (GUIDES) sign, and bring your original ID. The visit is organised around the time slot assigned to the Nasrid Palaces, so that window determines your access to the site and the order of the route.
