Traveler reviews

★★★★★2 months agoThis place is truly impressive and well worth the visit. The tile work and ceilings are incredible. The entry ticket includes the audio guide, but you must have a smart-phone to access it and you should bring headphones. The audio tour is comprehensive but very dry. I notices that many visitors were just looking around rather than using the audio tour. NOTE - the guided tour of the upper floor rooms was very helpful and interesting and our guide was much more interesting than the audio tour. The is a small charge for this add-on, but definitely well worth it.

★★★★★a month agoA beautiful place, but a quick visit. Good if you like a beautiful old architecture with a lot of details, statues and a beautiful garden. But isn't that big as Real Alcázar and the Catedral. Great visit because I like this, so I'll heartily recommend.
