Itinerary
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.
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.
The Alcazaba plainly served a military function. The entrance to the Alcazaba was at the foot of the Tower of Homage . At the base of the tower is a slight slope. A simple L-shaped walkway keeps the main gate from being seen from the outside.
The habitual residence of the kings of Granada, their construction began at the beginning of the 14th century. The Nasrid Palaces are a palatial complex formed by three buildings: - The Mexuar is the oldest hall. It was employed for meetings between the ministers of the king and as a courtroom. - Next, we come to the Palace of Comares, which dates back to the era of Yusuf I. This dwelling was erected around the Patio de los Arrayanes (Courtyard of the Myrtles), and its side exits lead to the Sala de los Embajadores (Hall of Ambassadors) and the Sala de la Barca (Hall of the Boat). - The Palace of the Lions, dating back to the era of Muhammed V, is also a royal residence. It is composed of a central courtyard, the Courtyard of the Lions, and halls along each side, the Hall of the Mocarabes, the Hall of the Kings, the Hall of the Two Sisters, the Hall of the Ajimeces, leading on to the mirador Daraxa viewpoint, and the Hall of the Abencerrajes, along with the Harem

Best audioguide of all the places I've visited in Spain so far.
Thank you so much for your kind comment about our audioguide. Your feedback helps us to keep improving. Kind regards, The Granavisión team
I liked the easy access and self-pacing. I expect a personal guide would have provided more color, but this provided a good overview of the facts and history of the site.
Thank you for your kind comment. Each type of tour has its own unique features. We’re delighted that you were able to enjoy the beautiful Alhambra and all its charms at your own pace. We look forward to seeing you again in Granada! Kind regards, The Granavisión team
The Map was not easy to read. Some of the tracks were closed. The price we paid was higher than it would be if we paid at the entrance directly. But still we enjoyed it very much. It is a lot to walk and good shoes are a must. As we were there it was 40 degrees but lots of possibilities to get water, even water fountains are on the path through the Alhambra. Overall a great experience for everyone.
Thank you very much for your review! We’re sorry to hear about the inconvenience you experienced during your visit; some areas or paths within the Alhambra may be closed or altered due to restoration work taking place within the monument. Nevertheless, we’re sorry for the inconvenience and hope to see you again soon!
Your partner or provider granavision was a scam! It was charging a lot for things and services we could not use unless you paid more!
Good afternoon, we’re sorry to hear that you feel this way about our services. It would be helpful if you could explain what you mean by being asked to pay more. Our staff would never ask you to pay for something that is already included in your booking. We look forward to hearing from you. Thank you.
Picked it out myself and enjoyed it. Beautiful architecture and Septembet a wonderful month to travel
Bedankt voor uw reactie! We zijn blij te horen dat u van het monument heeft genoten. We hopen dat u snel weer naar de stad – en het Alhambra – terugkeert! Tot de volgende keer!
The staff at the meeting point were great , polite, patient and well organized.. the setup for our timed visit to the Nasrid palace was perfect. It is entirely worthy !! but … We just didn’t enjoyed the audioguide. Unable to set it loud enough to cover the ambient noise . Also It was hard to follow / match where we were with the audioguide , because a lot of room looked the same… But personally, I would not take a fully guided tour with a group, that would be too painful for me .
Thank you very much for your kind words. The Granavisión team strives at all times to ensure that visitors have everything they need to enjoy their visit to the Alhambra. However, we sincerely regret that the audio guide did not meet your expectations. Sometimes, ambient noise at the monument makes it difficult to hear the information clearly... We have taken note of your feedback and hope you will return to the city soon. See you soon!
Admission fee, flexibility in when taking the tour with little ones in tow were priceless!
Thank you for your review! The flexibility to take the tour within the wide time window offered is certainly the highlight of this audio guide tour. We're glad you were happy with your choice. Best regards
Granada: Alhambra and Nasrid Palaces Ticket with Audioguide Granada Avoid this reseller. Buy official tickets for 22 euro including places. 1065856619 Don’t buy these reseller marked up tickets The official site sells an adult ticket for 22 euro including palaces. I’d highly recommend the palaces. Google this to get the official site (trip advisor blocks sharing links) alhambra-patronato.es The .org site that is the second hit on Google is 3-4x the actual price — which is about 22 euro in June 2026
We regret that, when searching for the product you selected, you did not appreciate the work that goes into providing you with our service, availability, personalized attention, and, of course, our audio guide. Our team delivered the package you had booked. Kind Regards
The Alhambra is an absolutely stunning place and one of the highlights of our trip to Spain. The palaces, gardens, and incredible architecture are truly breathtaking. Everything inside the complex is well worth visiting, and we had an amazing experience once we got in. The only issue was the ticket collection process. We booked through Tripadvisor, with the tour operated by GRANAVISIÓN – Movviendo Tourism Group. The booking instructions were not clear that the tickets needed to be collected from the operator's office rather than the official Alhambra ticket office. We went to the Alhambra ticket office first and then had to find the operator's office, which was stressful and took extra time. Despite this inconvenience, the Alhambra itself is magnificent and absolutely worth visiting. Just make sure you know exactly where to collect your tickets before you go.
Thank you for your review! We're glad to hear that the overall experience was positive, and we're sorry you wasted time picking up your tickets, although the meeting point address is clearly listed on the reservation voucher. Kind Regards
Site to visit absolutely, magnificent. Audioguide clearly audible in French, but the explanations were not precise enough during the movements. Beautiful experience nonetheless. Majestic Nasrid Palace.
Merci pour votre avis. Nous regrettons que les explications de l'audioguide n'aient pas répondu à vos attentes ; peut-être qu'une visite guidée avec un guide officiel aurait été un meilleur choix pour vous. Cordialement
