The card is a great way to visit all the monuments and not to queue, on the other hand, as far as public transport is concerned we had difficulty activating the card right away, as the information office to which it was written to turn to was closed the day we arrived. the next morning we found the office open but under renovation ( there was no indication or sign attached otherwise we would have organized) and so we had to go to another one that told us that we had to activate the transport card at one of these ATM totems ( if I remember the acronym correctly) along the streets. Let's say this resulted in some tickets being paid for despite the card. Nothing serious but the information did not seem clear to us.

Everything worked out well, we were able to see many exciting places. However, a few of the "included" places are free anyway, so there needs to be a bit more transparency, a few other sights are unfortunately not included, but overall a good buy, especially as the Alhambra is included!

I was amazed by the architecture, the history of the Nazrid Palaces and the beauty of the whole complex particularly the generalife. We visited the cathedral on the ticket which is truly magnificent but did not choose to use the transport although we could have and would have been very simple.

Soak up an exquisite fusion of Moorish and Andalusian culture at the Alhambra palace and fortress complex in Granada.

Upgrade to a guided tour and learn about the history of the Nasrid dynasty, to be found all throughout this monumental landmark.

Walk through the Alcazaba's walls, towers, and ramparts, along with the scenic gardens of Generalife and of the Adarves.

Explore the Promenade of the Cypress, the ‘Secano’ or Drylands, and San Francisco Gardens. Choose to include a Granada Card for easy access to the city.

Fun Fact: In Arabic – the name Alhambra alludes to the reddish color of the walls built from tapia (rammed earth)?

The Alhambra is a very impressive establishment with a special story. We had an excellent guide and you do need that to understand everything well. We did not have access to the palace, but it was still very worthwhile.

Absolutely must-see place for the intersection of cultures it represents. Our Italian-speaking guide Jose Manuel was very comprehensive.

The experiences in the Alhambra were very positive, especially the Nasrid Palace. After that we wanted to do everything else by bus or sightseeing bus. All the machines were faulty. There was no bus. We had to pay for everything again ourselves. No contact person available and that in 36 degree heat. Unfortunately disappointing.

Very convenient entry-level purchase, easy to use.

Immerse yourself in the timeless history and beauty of the Alhambra palace and fortress complex, one of the biggest examples of medieval Islamic culture and architecture, situated in picturesque Andalusia.

Soak Up The Alcazaba's Architecture

The oldest surviving fortress section of Alhambra, the Alcazaba has been restored many times over the years and consists of looming outer walls, towers, and ramparts. The Candle Tower, or ‘Torre de la Vela’, is a highlight of this section, being the largest tower. The scenic Garden of the Adarves, located on the low adarve of the fortress, is where you’ll get the most sprawling views of the city from here.

Visit The Promenade of the Cypress & San Francisco Gardens

A walkway with leaning cypress trees correctly describes the shaded Promenade of the Cypress. With this ticket, you also have access to the Secano or Drylands (an unirrigated section of land), and the lush and expansive San Francisco Gardens.

Wander Through The Generalife Palace & Gardens

Truly a masterpiece in outdoor garden architecture, the Generalife Palace & Gardens used to be an escape from court duties and affairs for the royal kings. Stroll through the manicured gardens with fountains and lush greenery, complementing the simple structure of the palace. Other spaces to explore here include the legendary Soultana’s Court, the oldest Water Stairway, and The Court of the Main Canal.
