Traveler reviews
Stephen Phillips
★★★★★9 months agoBuy tickets in advance online. A guide is recommended (skip the line tickets)This way you will have practically no wait time. Very nice place with 4 general areas: the Nasrides palace, the Alcazaba, the Alhambra and the Generalife. I might have mixed the Alcazaba and the Alhambra in the pictures.
Lis Conde
★★★★★a year agoPart of the tour of the alcazaba, some of the towers here will give you the best sights and pictures of Granada. Make sure you have a good camera and comfortable shoes. It is a walk up stairs and through the old military base.
