We liked the guide Carlos very much. It was raining and he extended the visit a little bit to wait for it to stop raining and we could enjoy the visit.

The place I was more than 45 years old when I came here last time. It has changed a lot. But it is just as beautiful. I only found it a bit unpleasant to have a guide who had to divide into two groups. One of 3 people in German, the other of 4 in Spanish.

It was a bit difficult to find the person who organized the groups, but once our guide was appointed, everything was very pleasant and well explained.

Explore Alhambra on this Immersive Tour

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. Your guide will regale you with tales about the Palace's history and provenance as you make your way through, and the complimentary audio headsets will enable you to hear your guide clearly.

See the Various Areas of the Alhambra Complex Accompanied by a Professional Guide

The Palace of Charles V is an architectural wonder that boasts of a plateresque style design with traces of Gothic and Spanish origin, which was common in the Renaissance era. It is also famous and popular for its unique collection of Hispano-Muslim and Nasrid artworks.

The Generalife is also known as the Architect's Garden, is easily one of the oldest examples of Moorish gardens. Cool turquoise water, flower beds, and lush greenery make the Generalife a beautiful sight.

Also visit the Alcazaba, one of the oldest structures of Alhambra. It served both as a fortress as well as a watchtower during the Nasrid rule. Follow it up with a visit to the Nasrid Palaces. While most of the structures have perished over the years, some of them still remain. Few of them being the Mexuar, which was once one of the most prominent parts of the palace, and the Court of Lions (Palacio de Los Leones), and also a rather private area of the palace.

As you step out of the Nasrid Palaces, you can see the Medina, which is not very easily accessible due to its difficult route. This is a citadel that has the remains of several ovens, silos, cisterns, public baths, and workshops, as well as the houses of top government officials, employees, and court servants. You can still see the foundations of several ruins, some of which were reconstructed, standing tall to this day.
