I didn't quite understand that it was all about the Alcazaba, the gardens and the Generalife. A bit disappointed as it's a trip I don't think I'll be able to do again. However, we really enjoyed Granada.

I enjoyed the architectural beauty for which I organized this trip of mine to Andalusia. I found and saw as much and perhaps more than I expected, truly great beauty, the kind that provokes strong emotions. For that matter, I am not used to distractions, like souvenir stores and merchandising of vara nature, so I have nothing to say about this area. September 26, 2024 Angelo

Relatively simple handling of the program. Sometimes a little confusing due to the size of the mosque. Price-performance ratio on balance very good

Straightforward experience. All the explanations are clear and we were able to redeem everything that is included within the pass.

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.
