The guided tour in Italian of the Alhambra and the Nasrid Palaces was wonderful. Antonio, our guide, kept us engaged throughout the tour with historical-cultural references and pleasant anecdotes. In addition, the recommendations he gave us at the end of the visit (other places of cultural and recreational interest in the city) turned out to be useful and accurate. Thank you.

Today we had Arnauo as our guide; he was very knowledgeable, and the way he explained things was truly engaging. The three-hour tour really flew by. I recommend it to anyone who wants to visit and learn more interesting facts about the area.

Our guide Irena was so enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the history of the Alhambra and Granada that it was a fantastic tour for us. Small group with plenty of opportunity to ask questions. Really worth it

The tour was truly impressive. What beautiful buildings. Despite this, the guide made it even more beautiful and fun. He showed us around in a very relaxed way, with plenty of knowledge and a good dose of humor. He gets a 10.

We had good luck today to be the only 3 member of group tour. Wonderful and great experience in guided-tour. We got full of fantastic and fun knowledge about historic story of Alhambra.

Explore all of Alhambra, from the Nasrid Palaces, the Generalife Gardens, the Alcazaba, the Palace of Carlos V, the unique Patio of the Lions, and the Bath of the Mosque.

Be accompanied by your choice of an expert English, French, German, Italian, or Spanish-speaking guide.

Wander through the Alcazaba, a fortified military structure, then ascend the Torre de la Vela for breathtaking views of the Albaicín neighborhood.

Upgrade for exclusive nighttime access with fewer crowds and delve into its history with complimentary audio headsets for clear narration.

Fun fact: The name "Alhambra" is derived from Arabic, meaning "The Red One," likely due to the reddish color of the walls.

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.
