    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.

    Really good booking process and the visit to the Alhambra was amazing. Definitely needed to bring the passport as there were lots of checkpoints during the visit.

    Discovering Andalusia From Seville to Córdoba to then reach Granada and easily visit all the major attractions using the Granada Card (purchased with the Headout app). Following the precise information we received through e-mail, we never had any problems using the aforementioned Card, thus visiting the Alhambra in perfect autonomy, then picking up the card related to the 9 city bus trips and using the tourist train. Also with the same Granada Card we then visited the cathedral, Sacromonte Abbey and other places of interest with entrance always included in the conditions of use. For us the use of the Granada Card was very useful especially for the time saved, avoiding long lines for entrances or the hassle of having to buy tickets for public transportation, etc. Positive experience, highly recommended.

    Easy access to some amazing sights including the Alhambra, Cathedral and Royal Chapel.
  • Visit Granada, the Andulasian city located at the foot of the Sierra Nevada mountains, and at the confluence of four rivers. This picturesque city occupies a vital role in Spanish history, with a long line of famous Spanish artists, thinkers, and leaders claiming origin from here. Witness the harmonious confluence of the various influences over the city, such as the Moorish architecture at the Alhambra, the Christian-built Palace of Charles V, and much more. Marvel at the distinct beauty of this jewel of Andulasia with this City Card, that gives you access to the many attractions in and around the city.

    Using your City Card, you can explore Granada at your own comfortable pace without missing out on any of the major attractions. The Granada Card includes entrance to the Alhambra, Generalife, and other major monuments across the city, as well as access to public transport to get you there. Experience the wide variety of what the city has to offer, with night visits to the Nasrid Palaces and a daytime visit to the Alcazaba and Generalife the following day, guided tours through the Sacromonte Abbey, and much much more. So, avoid the hassle of standing in queues for tickets, and save time and money with the Granada City Card.
