One of the most well-reserved pieces of religious architecture in western Europe provides you with a stunning glimpse of the ancient Moorish culture. Take a couple of hours to stroll around.

Been here 5+ times
There are two ques for the entrance ticket . Go for the one on the right with machine as it's a lot faster. Nice place worth the wait. Some sun screen is recommended during summer. Can get hot !

So much proud with what I have seen of history of my religion time in the palace, and thanks to spain government of highly taking care of it, a place that should not be missed if you are in spain.

Do not miss the Nazari palaces. The map you get for the visit is good, use it. And book tickets online ahead of your visit, the system for tickets is tricky.

A must visit when in Granada. Plan half a day so you have time to discover all beautiful places inside this wonderful piece of art. The gardens of the Generalife are worth a detour! Book on time.

The jewel of Spain! So much poetry in the Moorish architecture. The roman palace built after the reconquest are a butchery of the delicate moorish architecture. But good to see this stark contrasts.
Rik van der SchalieMay 26, 2017
Nice combination of Moorish fortress and Christian palace. Big enough to sport huge towers for defence, and at the same time gardens with fountains for relaxation.
Mohammed Abu HajarJune 23, 2017
Make sure you get there early or u will not get access ticket to the Palace which is the best part if the tour, prices attached in the post enjoy it
Coach Todd Parker, M.A., M.S.August 18, 2017
A must see when visiting Granada. Even if you don't want spend any money, you can visit and see much of the grounds and buildings within the fortress!

I visit the Alhambra around every 5 years and every time it's worth the visit! This is really something amazing and unique in the world. Love the gardens and the Nasrid palaces.

Astonishing UNESCO site, beautiful oneiric palaces. Unmissable experience.
SultanahAugust 18, 2016
Visiting here needs PRE-PLANNING! Unless you want to stand in a queue from 5 am till god knows when and might or might not get tickets!! http://www.alhambradegranada.org/en/info/buyalhambratickets.asp

2 days spent in lines in december, didn't get tickets. Everything is sold out by 9:30-10. Think of reserving in advance online. If you still want to try: come at 7-7:30: split between 2 lines.
Humaid BinyelaiyelMarch 2, 2017
The largest and the best Islamic palace in Spain, make sure you book in advance and you must visit the nasrid palace, if you have even the slightest interest in Andalusian history this place is a must
Rokas FirantasApril 2, 2015
Tickets can be bought on the same day if you get there just before 8. The 2nd queue for ticket machines is much faster (only credit cards). Also there's coffee and snacks machines next to the toilets.
Tomas NovotnyMay 4, 2017
amazing mixture of historical palaces and beautiful parks. book your tickets in advance!!! almost no chance to buy the tickets the same day you want to go.
Miguel RamirezOctober 13, 2020
Best thing to do now in pandemic times is to enter one hour / hour and half before closing time, it will be completely empty and no one will interfere in your photos.
Bijoy GoswamiJuly 12, 2017
Make sure to finish your trip with a walk to Generallifé - it's a circuit with the return that loops around. It also affords a beautiful view of the Alhambra.

Book on line. It’s slightly cheaper and you can choose when to visit. Pro-top:- In the Summer early morning booking preferable: it is cooler and less crowded.
SultanahAugust 18, 2016
An amazing monument.. I wish they had more planned tour guide options coz it would've been more beneficial and fun i guess.. A must visit.. #bucketlistitem
UlyaAugust 23, 2015
Don't miss the Alhambra and the views that you get offers. It is so big, so worth it. Go early, book tickets in advance avoid the waiting and save time.

Such a lovely place.. its a place you should visit it once in your life.. you should take a tour it’s more informative
Negin SadeghiSeptember 12, 2015
They say no visit to Andalucia is complete without visiting the Alhambra. So if you wish to skip the long queue and tour the great palace and gardens, book your tickets online and in advance!
Sander ZuurhoutSeptember 25, 2014
Take your time to explore the Generalife Gardens, mayby more interesting then the Palace itself. Less crowded after 7pm.

Every part of the castle and the gardens is worth visiting but expect some waiting in line during busy moments.
Adam AerialFebruary 18, 2012

Yigit A.September 24, 2017
Very charming place but need to book your online ticket at least 1 month before. Otherwise impossible to visit inside. But you can wander around the palace center gardens.

Audio Guide, Buy online ahead, use bus C3 from the main square round about (small red bus, not regular metro) and bring lots of water/snacks/lunch :)

The Alhambra, named for its reddish walls ("qa'lat al-Hamra" Red Castle); this monument is the oldest and best preserved of the Moorish palaces in Spain.
Security AnalystJune 30, 2019
As with many parts of Andalusia, bring your own sprig of rosemary or lavender to avoid the attention of local vendors.
Fenia MegremiApril 5, 2018
Stunning historical place. It worths a tour and it’s a well spent experience.
Linda ScherkusApril 18, 2019

An unforgettable journey back to the Muslim kingdom that made this palace its home for centuries. The love, wisdom and faith this place convey is second to none in Spain and in Europe.
