Here’s an overview of your tour

Entrance tickets not included. Contact me always previously you book this experience in case of doubs:

-If you do not have tickets to visit the Alhambra, you can purchase them on the Alhambra website or I can help you buy them. -》 https://tickets.alhambra-patronato.es/en/producto/alhambra-general/

-If you already have the tickets to visit the Alhambra, the tour will take place according to the Nasrid Palaces assigned schedule of yours.

The Alhambra is divided into 3 parts: Nasrid Palaces, Alcazaba and Generalife. When you buy the tickets on the official website you can choose a time to visit the Nasrid Palaces because only this place has a specific schedule. The Nasrid Palaces are located in the middle part of the Alhambra, therefore I usually start 30mint. before visiting the Palaces, like that the tour is easier and less tiring. Here's an example: If you buy the tickets and choose 9:30 a.m. to visit the Nasrid Palaces, we would start the tour at 9:00 visiting first the Alcazaba, then the Palaces and after that the others parts left.

Your itinerary

  • Meeting point

    Puerta de la Justicia
  • Meeting

    We will meet at the entrance of the Alhambra, in order to introduce ourselves and to do a brief introduction about the background of the Alhambra.
  • Alcazaba

    Our first stop will be at the Alcazaba, an ancient castle where the private army of the Sultans live there. The towers will allow us to have a 360º view to all the city from above!
  • Charles V Palace

    Before we head to the Nasrid Palaces, we will visit the palace of the Emperor Charles V, one of the most powerful people in the world, and then stop for 5 mint. just to go to the restrooms.
  • Nasrid Palaces

    A book made building. Palaces full of tilework, plaster, marble and magic, with so many carvings where the Muslims wanted to represent the only thing that christians didn't have: the word of Allah. Here I will translate for you these inscriptions as well as explain the purpose of all these palaces.
  • Partal and Gardens

    After our visit to the palaces, we will then visit the Partal and the gardens, an appetizer before the last dish, the Generalife.
  • Generalife

    Or Summer Palace, it was an almunia or residence where Sultans and their families retire specially in summer due to the heat. Combination of gardens and pools so even the most suffocated soul can find a beautiful rest under the shade of the trees or by listening to the songs of the water flowing through the insides of the Alhambra.
I have a teen daughter with us - is it possible to plan a drinks and bites tour with her?
