Granada and the Alhambra from Málaga

ALLinMÁLAGA drives you to Granada for a 3-hour guided visit of the Alhambra, Nasrid Palaces and Generalife included, then a guided walk and free time in the city. Pick it because Alhambra tickets are named and sell out early, and this trip comes with them.

Granada & Alhambra Day Trip

About this experience

The Alhambra is the palace city of the Nasrid dynasty, begun by Muhammad I in 1238 and listed by UNESCO in 1984. Tickets are nominative and the Nasrid Palaces run on fixed time slots. The official ticket site sells them, often weeks ahead. This trip includes a ticket for the whole site, palaces included, priority entrance and an official guide with headphones for about three hours, covering the Nasrid Palaces and the Generalife gardens.

After the Alhambra, a guided walk takes you through the centre of Granada, with free time and a tapas break before the bus back. The listing gives about 2.5 hours on the road out and about 2 hours back, in a small group vehicle. It's a long day, ten hours, and you will walk a lot.

Read the rules before you book. The trip is non-refundable, and the Alhambra tickets are issued in your name, so names and dates cannot change. You give full names and ID numbers at booking and must bring the original passport or ID card, not a photocopy. Bags over 40 x 40 cm are not allowed in the monuments, strollers are not allowed inside, and the visit order may change with your Alhambra slot.
