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.

1.00Bring your passport to get in. If not your passport, pictice identification that is NOT electronic/digital. The entrance staff is very aggressive about not having your passport.

4.00You need to collect your ticket before entering. This is not made clear by Viator. Although our start time was 8.30 we could not get into main palace until 12.30. We lined up early with our passports but they made us wait on side. Eventually got in 15 minutes early. There are private guides offering services at gate for 65 € but we saw everything at our own pace. Gorgeous gardens, lots of info guides to answer questions in multiple languages. It’s big and you need time, we preferred going together rather than a large tour.
Things to know before you go

5.00So the Alhambra Palace was stunning. However, this was the worst experience I've had using Viator (whom I have used previously on many occasions). Firstly, sure sure you read the small print AND TAKE ID WITH YOU. Two of our party were unable to get in because they forgot their passports and you WILL NOT GET INTO CERTAIN PARTS unless they have photo id. Secondly, if you take a taxi, make sure they drop you off at the right place. You can only get your tickets from the office. This is the only Viator trip I've done on which I've been unable to download the tickets to my phone. We got dropped off at the taxi rank and then had half a mile walk to the office to get the tickets. It's cobbled and quite a steep walk there and back. Thirdly, download the info to your phone when collecting your tickets, otherwise you have to return the listening device BACK to the office. There is no drop off point at the Palace. Lastly, this trip should notbe undertaken if you have mobility issues. There is no disabled access and there is a lot of going up and down steps. Having said that, it's well worth it if you can make it!

3.00I bought a ticket and I had to provide ID number of all my family so I did. I went to collect my ticket to the office and the ID numbers were different to our ID cards. The lady in office didnt change it and we went to the entrance 2 of our group didnt let in dueto wrong number of the ID on the ticket. Alhambra beautiful but the stress with ticket terrible
