    An incredible work of art and a palimpsest of history and architecture. An advance reservation is a must. Be aware that you must have your passport for entry. The building is closed and everyone escorted out at 8 PM, so try to get an arrival time which will allow you to have time to explore. A good plan is to arrive early enough to wander around the Generalife garden. The trees and plants are meticulously maintained, and are worth the time to explore leisurely

    Beautiful place with so much details. I wish they had a better way to allow stroller for families with kids so we can enjoy it more and take our time. They allow strollers in generallife but it is impossible to go there with strollers. Ofc book ahead of time.
