What to see inside the complex

The Nasrid Palaces hold the courtyards and halls of the royal court. The Alcazaba sits at the far end of the fortress, and the Generalife is on the other side of the grounds, with its own gardens.

Where it fits in Granada

Set aside a generous block of time on the hill. Save the walk through the Albaicín and the San Nicolás viewpoint for another moment.

How to choose your route

If the palaces are your priority, choose a ticket that includes them. The garden visits and the night visits follow different routes.
