Your Experience

Explore the Wonders of Granada

The Spanish region of Granada is known for some of the most historically diverse styles of architecture and art. This guided tour will begin with a visit to the Plaza del Carmen, which has gone through multiple transformations in different eras. The ‘old cloister’ was remodeled and only a small part of it is still retained, and the City Hall now occupies much of the Plaza. You will also visit the magnificent cathedral, the Royal Chapel, and the Madrasa.

Understand the Region’s Diverse Heritage

Your guide will narrate the amazing stories that surround the monuments in the district. You can ask your guide about the local culture and learn more about its historical and cultural idiosyncrasies. As you walk through the neighborhoods of Albayzin, a Granada Muslim World Heritage Site, you will be transported back to the medieval era. Marvel at the Moorish houses and cobbled streets that stand alongside Christian monuments.
