How to book your visit to the Alhambra

Are tickets included in the guided tour?

Yes. With this option, the booking includes admission to the monument and the guided route through the areas of the Alhambra open to the public.

How do I buy the tickets or the tour, and what do I receive on confirmation?

The booking is made online. Once complete, our team confirms and handles everything so you receive by email a voucher with all the practical information for the tour, including the meeting point, location map, route description and schedule. Just show it from your phone on the day of your visit.

Can I use the voucher straight from my phone?

Yes. The voucher is designed to be shown to the guide from your phone, no need to print it.

Can I book for today or tomorrow?

It depends on availability. For official advance purchase, individuals can buy tickets online until 11:59 pm the day before the visit, and the Board itself recommends buying in advance due to high demand.

What happens if I don't receive the confirmation email?

Confirmation is sent by email. If you don't see it, check your spam or promotions folder as well. If it still doesn't appear, the best option is to contact our team to check your booking details and resend the voucher if needed.

Keep this in mind before entering the Alhambra

Can children enter, and do they need to be included in the booking?

Yes. Children must also be included in the booking, even with a free rate, because access to the monument is controlled by capacity and tickets are personalised.

Do I need to bring an ID card or passport to enter?

Yes. You must bring your original physical ID, whether that's a national ID card, passport or driving licence. The Alhambra has several access checkpoints, and your ID must match the one used for the booking, as tickets are personalised.

Where is the meeting point if I book a guided tour?

The meeting point is at Paseo del Generalife 1F, near the monument's official ticket offices. Next to them is an esplanade with a sign reading guides, where the team waits with an orange umbrella.

What's the difference between visiting independently and booking a guided tour?

If you visit independently, you buy the monument's official ticket and explore at your own pace. If you book a guided tour, you also get organised access and a guide explaining the tour along the way.

Is the visit accessible for people with reduced mobility?

Accessibility is fairly limited. With a wheelchair or pushchair, the full route cannot be completed. The Alcazaba area is not accessible by wheelchair, and both the Generalife and the Nasrid Palaces can only be visited in a reduced way. For pushchairs, we recommend using a backpack or baby carrier.

If you need to change or cancel your visit

Can I cancel my booking and get my money back?

For the guided tour of the Alhambra, the cancellation policy is stricter than for other tours because tickets are personalised and tied to each visitor's ID. So if you cancel, the amount is not refunded except in very exceptional cases.

Can I change the date of my visit?

It cannot normally be rescheduled. If you want to change the date, you would need to pay again for the monument tickets, as that initial cost cannot be recovered.

What happens if there's bad weather or an area closes?

Even in poor weather, tours usually go ahead as normal. Only in very extreme cases may some areas of the monument be closed for safety reasons, for example due to excessively strong winds.
