What To Expect
The Alhambra
On a rocky hill that is difficult to access, on the banks of the River Darro, protected by mountains and surrounded by woods, among the oldest quarters in the city, the Alhambra rises up like an imposing castle with reddish tones in its ramparts that prevent the outside world from seeing the delicate beauty they enclose. Originally designed as a military area, the Alhambra became the residence of royalty and of the court of Granada in the middle of the thirteenth century, after the establishment of the Nasrid kingdom and the construction of the first palace, by the founder king Mohammed ibn Yusuf ben Nasr, better known as Alhamar. The fortress became a citadel with high ramparts and defensive towers, which house two main areas: the military area, or Alcazaba, the barracks of the royal guard, and the medina or court city, the location of the famous Nasrid Palaces and the remains of the houses of noblemen and plebeians who lived there.
Generalife
The Generalife is composed of a series of large gardens, where every corner holds a novelty and a pleasant surprise for the eyes, with a minimum of obtrusive buildings.

Alhambra Tickets - Tutorial with Viator
Giuseppe L,May 19, 2026

5.00Very good experience despite some of the other reviews I read. I think those are people who did not read the instructions clearly and did not spend the proper time researching how this type of ticket works so here it is the full explanation: - The Alhambra is a set of monuments all located in the same area but the whole complex is extremely big (3/4 hours to visit everything). - The Nasrid Palaces (Palacios Nazaries) are the key piece you need to see where the coolest stuff is. Because they are somewhat fragile they don't want too many people inside at the same time so they schedule visitors to enter at different times during the day. - Basically you book your voucher online ticket with Viator for a certain hour (let's say 9am), at 9am you go to the ticket office that is registered with Viator (Granavision as of May 2026) at the Alhambra, there someone will give you your physical printed ticket that you scan at the gates to enter and will explain to you the structure and map of the Alhambra but most importantly they will give you your scheduled time to enter the Nasrid Palaces (mine was at 10am). So no matter what at 10am you have to be at the Nasrid Palaces entrance with your ID card (the same you used to book the tickets), this is very important because personnel will check your ID card at every gate of the Alhambra (once you enter the first gate there are other ones) - Before 10am you can still see other sections of the Alhambra (usually the ticket office will tell you which ones are best to see in order for you to be at the Nasrid Palaces on time) - After you get out of the Nasrid palaces you can basically go in an out of the other Alhambra sections whenever you want throughout the day (Generalife, Medina, Alcazaba). - Check your e-mail regularly 24 hours before the day of the visit because if you booked with Viator at 2pm they might send you an e-mail saying that your entrance at the Nasrid Palaces is at 1pm so you need to be at the ticket office at 12:45pm to pick up your tickets and not miss your entrance at the Nasrid palaces. - Of course Viator will try to give you an entrance of the Nasrid Palaces at a time after the one on your voucher.
ABSOLUTELY AVOID

1.00I booked on this linked site With Tripadvisor, a guided tour to see the Alhambra in Granada. They first sent me an acknowledgment of the request and later confirmed the tour. Unfortunately, the day before the visit, they canceled it due to a lack of entries to the site. Despite my long phone call with an assistant who was like a "rubber wall," because I wanted to see the Alhambra since they had confirmed it to me, there was no way to receive assistance, and probably to end the call, they told me they would make me talk to a manager who clearly never called me back. I wanted to speak with a manager who clearly never called me back. The next morning, I tried again, but nothing; even the second assistant told me that I needed to book in advance to see it. Despite my complaints, I ended up not seeing the Alhambra, the site for which I came to visit Andalusia. They did issue a refund. Flee from this site, as it is not serious at all, and several people I met during this vacation told me they had the same problems with different destinations. It's better to spend a little more and take tours with the official sites.
Overexpensive price for a supposed "guided tour"

2.00It's a scam. An entry to the Alhambra costs 22€. They sell you this ticket for 50€ for a supposed "guided tour" which is a pre-registered audio. It is absolutly not worth the almost 30€ extra. The alhambra remains gorgeous.

5.00Thanks Carlos F great tour and great experience
Book well in advance and never the same day as your departure

2.00Searched online everywhere for tickets that worked with our time available and finally found and confirmed for 1pm. Sadly, the day prior our tickets were changed to 5pm forcing us not be able to experience the entirety of Alhambra. Never make your tickets for the same day as your departure as we felt ripped off. All ticket times when I was searching which was 6 weeks earlier were for 5pm. Odd that we ended up in that time a lot regardless of what we were confirmed.
Beautiful experience

5.00Yeah, sure. The staff at the ticket exchange agency very friendly and efficient. No audio guide but an application to download so as not to be limited in time. If you go in the morning you can have breakfast on site in the adjoining cafe, they are very friendly. The Alhambra site is amazing. From a practical point of view everything is explained very well with numerous staff on site and always attentive in different languages. A little extra if you are looking for food on site do not hesitate to visit the America Hotel. The place looks impressive but they offer reasonably priced food in a beautiful patio and the staff is also very welcoming.
A definite must on your Granada trip but book early

5.00Book early when we arrived they said no spaces all week and this wasn’t busy season Viator booking was easy. You have to pick up tickets from customer servicesthen swap at ticket office which was a bit of a hassle but not too bad Remember your photo ID The place was amazing and walking at pace it still took us all of the day so ensure you have a morning slot. Some areas have more steps than others so those with restricted mobility won’t see everything but still great for everyone Everywhere was amazing but the central plaza with the lions has beautiful lighting for pictures The audio guide was good but it’s a bit tricky to orientate as there’s numbers on the guide but I only spotted a couple actually on or around buildings.
Wonderful tour and fantastic guide

5.00If you miss out on the official tickets this seems to be the only option. It is not a guided tour but you do get access to an audio guide.
