What to see in Granada

Start with the Alhambra if you have a ticket. Keep another part of the day for the Albaicín and for seeing the palaces from the hillside opposite.

The time slot that shapes your day

If your ticket includes the Nasrid Palaces, plan the rest of the visit around that time. Inside the complex, allow time to walk to the Generalife.

From the centre to the Albaicín

Follow the Carrera del Darro from Plaza Nueva and climb to the San Nicolás viewpoint. If you want to avoid one long climb, split the walk with a stop in the neighbourhood.

With a second morning

Keep the Cathedral and the Royal Chapel for a stroll through the centre, without the pressure of the palace time slot.

How to split the visit

With one day, pick your Alhambra time first and leave the Albaicín for later. With two, give the second morning to the Darro and the old town.
