CoupleVerified bookingJun 20265/5The Alhambra was definitely worth the money. The Generalife Gardens are beautifully landscaped, and entry to both the Generalife and the Alcazaba went smoothly.NNatalia R
CoupleVerified bookingJun 20263/5I liked the Generalife part of the trip, the gardens were beautiful. But the rest was pretty boring and generic. And too crowdy.GGhilarducci A
CoupleVerified bookingMay 20265/5Maria is a fantastic guide, friendly, knowledgeable and passionate.
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.
