The complex is beautiful, with marvellous gardens and stunning views. However, there was no sign telling what the name of each room was, particulalrly in the Nasrid palace. Unless someone hires a guide to tell the story, the visitor has no clue what he sees. That's a pity taking into account how far away some people have travelled to Granada and booked their (not too cheap tickets) months ahead. A digital audioguide on the Headout platform available with booking is highly recommeneded

This experience is perfect for the Alhambra. Nice gardens and view. Interesting palace. There is a need however for have adequate people for the check-in to the palace (the process was very slow - only 1 person working). Better signage is also required. The security feeling was however very ggod.

The Alhambra is amazing. Definitely worth while getting up early to enter at 8.30am before the tour groups arrive. We spent almost four hours admiring the palaces and the extensive gardens. Warning: there are alot of steps to climb if you want to see the wonderful views. The snow on the Sierra Nevada made a spectacular backdrop. Hadn't realised the audio guide was in digital format rather than (old fashioned) headphones.

Skip the lines and access the Alhambra’s top sites, including the Generalife, Alcazaba, and Charles V Palace with your ticket.

Marvel at the Nasrid Palaces, the historic heart of Moorish Granada, and stroll through lush gardens and ancient fortifications.

The Granada Card unlocks the Alhambra, Cathedral, Royal Chapel, and major city attractions, plus city bus rides and a tourist train journey.
