The Alhambra is an extraordinary monument. We had a wonderful time, thanks in large part to our guide, Hector, and his knowledge, kindness, and warmth. We highly recommend him. Alexandre and Rachida

The entire visit was very well planned, organized and timely by the Tour guides. If visiting Alhambra, the Nasrid palace is the best part. Alhambra would be incomplete and somewhat underwhelming without the palace tour.

  • Explore Alhambra with a guide

    Gain entry to the Alhambra, a National and Artistic Monument of Spain, on this guided tour. Walk through the passages and admire the different styles of architecture that were used as the Palace expanded. Whether you choose a regular day time tour or a unique nighttime tour, get the complete picture of the complex.

    Choose a skilled guide fluent in English, French, German, Italian, or Spanish, offering insights into the palace's history, complemented by clear audio headsets.

    Visit other wonders of Alhambra

    This ticket grants access to several other attractions within the Alhambra complex. Explore the Palace of Charles V, an architectural marvel blending Plateresque, Gothic, and Spanish styles, renowned for its unique collection of Hispano-Muslim and Nasrid artworks. Discover the Generalife, known as the Architect's Garden, one of the oldest Moorish gardens featuring cool turquoise water, flower beds, and lush greenery. Don't miss the Alcazaba, one of the oldest structures in the Alhambra, serving as both a fortress and a watchtower during the Nasrid rule.

    Nasrid Palace and Medina

    While many structures within the Nasrid Palaces have succumbed to time, some endure, including the Mexuar, once a prominent part of the palace, and the Court of Lions (Palacio de Los Leones), along with more private areas.

    After exploring the Nasrid Palaces, accompany your guide to the Medina, a citadel featuring remnants of ovens, silos, cisterns, public baths, workshops, and residences of government officials, employees, and court servants, accessible via a challenging route.
