Activity itinerary

The Alhambra

The best-conserved palace from the Al-Andalus Islamic sovereigns in Spain. Really one of the most amazing monuments you can visit.

Puerta de la Justicia

  • 5m
Standing at the entrance, admire the Horseshoe Arch and the Christian coat of arms, symbolising the shift from Moorish rule to Spanish conquest in 1492.

Puerta del Vino

  • 5m
  • Admission ticket included
A beautiful horseshoe-arched gate, the Puerta del Vino once led to the royal palaces. The name may come from its role as a place where wine was once traded, although some historians suggest it refers to its decorative colours.

Plaza de los Aljibes

  • 5m
  • Admission ticket included
This wide esplanade sits above the Alhambra’s water reservoirs (“aljibes”), offering a fantastic panoramic view of the Albaicín and Sacromonte areas. It’s a perfect moment to take in the fusion of Islamic and Renaissance architecture.

Alcazaba

  • 20m
  • Admission ticket included
The Alcazaba, the oldest part of the Alhambra, functioned as a military fortress. Climb the Torre de la Vela (Watchtower) for breathtaking 360° views of Granada. The tower bell, famously rung every January 2nd, marks the day the Catholic Monarchs took the city from the Nasrids.

Palace of Carlos V

  • 25m
  • Admission ticket included
A dramatic contrast to the Islamic-style structures around it, Palacio de Carlos V was built in the 16th century by Emperor Charles V to emphasise Spanish dominance. The massive circular courtyard inside is one of Spain’s finest Renaissance designs.

Palacio El Partal

  • 15m
  • Admission ticket included
The Partal Gardens feature reflective pools, Moorish towers, and lush vegetation, making it one of the most picturesque spots in the Alhambra. The nearby Torre de las Damas (Ladies’ Tower) preserves elegant Nasrid-style balconies overlooking the gardens.

Torre de la Cautiva

  • 5m
  • Admission ticket included
This hidden gem is one of the most richly decorated residential towers in the Alhambra, showcasing some of the finest Islamic stucco and tilework. The name “Cautiva” (captive) refers to a Christian noblewoman who was rumoured to have lived here after being taken by the sultan.

Generalife

Walk through the gates of the Generalife, the summer palace and gardens of the Nasrid sultans. This estate provided a peaceful retreat away from the formalities of court life.

Generalife Theatre

This modern open-air theatre hosts cultural events and Granada’s International Festival of Music and Dance. Surrounded by gardens, it blends contemporary arts with the Alhambra’s historic backdrop.

Patio of the Irrigation Ditch

One of the most iconic sites in the Alhambra, the Patio de la Acequia (Courtyard of the Water Channel) is the heart of the Generalife. Its flowing fountains, fragrant flowers, and delicate archways create a paradise-like setting.

Escalera del Agua

  • 5m
  • Admission ticket included
This unique Nasrid-era stairway is designed with flowing water channels carved into the stone handrails, cooling the area as visitors ascend. The sound of trickling water enhances the serene atmosphere of the Generalife.

Paseo de las Adelfas

Your journey through the Alhambra and Generalife concludes with a peaceful walk along the Paseo de las Adelfas (Oleander Walkway), where you can reflect on the beauty and grandeur of the Moorish legacy in Spain.
