If you're looking for a guided tour of the Alhambra of Granada, here you can choose the option that best fits your plans and lock in your booking with a date and time before you arrive, with a straightforward process and no middlemen.
Depending on what you want to see, you can book the full guided tour with access to the monumental complex, an option focused on the Generalife, Alcazaba and Palace of Charles V, a private tour, or combined tours that extend the experience with the Albaicín and Sacromonte. At the Alhambra, many dates and time slots sell out in advance, especially those that include access to the Nasrid Palaces, so booking ahead lets you secure the option and time you want without relying on last-minute availability.
This is the most complete way to explore the Alhambra of Granada in a single booking, with access to the Nasrid Palaces, Generalife, Alcazaba and Palace of Charles V. An option designed for those who want to see the main part of the monument with the route already organised, taking in the palatial area, the fortress and the gardens of the complex all at once.
A guided tour designed for those who want to explore the outdoor, monumental part of the Alhambra without entering the Nasrid Palaces. The route focuses on the Generalife, Alcazaba and Palace of Charles V, three areas that let you understand the military, residential and Renaissance sides of the complex in a single tour.
Combines the guided tour of the Alhambra with a walk through the Albaicín and Sacromonte in a single booking. An option designed for those who want to see Granada's great monumental complex and then complete the visit with its best-known historic neighbourhoods on the same day, moving from the Nasrid Palaces, Generalife and Alcazaba to two key areas for understanding the city beyond the monument's walls.
A guided tour of the Alhambra with the Granada City Pass, an option designed for those who want to extend their experience beyond the monument. Alongside the Alhambra visit, the City Pass includes access to sites such as the Cathedral, the Royal Chapel, the Charterhouse, San Jerónimo, several museums, and urban transport with 9 bus rides and 1 round trip on the tourist train.
The guided tour of the Alhambra can also be booked as a private tour, and the Alhambra plus Albaicín and Sacromonte tour is available as a small group and as a private tour: choose the option in the selector on each tour's page.
The tour begins at Paseo del Generalife 1F, near the monument's ticket offices, next to the esplanade with the guides' sign, where the team waits with an orange umbrella. From there, access is organised around the time slot assigned for the Nasrid Palaces, which is the part that shapes the rest of the visit.
During the tour, you'll explore the parts of the Alhambra open to the public. One of the first highlights is the Generalife, understood as the sultans' estate and summer palace, linked to the orchards, vegetation and the changes the space has undergone over time. The route then connects with the Secano, or old medina, the area where ordinary people lived within the site, and with the Palace of Charles V, the complex's great Renaissance transformation.
The route also takes in the Alcazaba, the oldest, military part of the Alhambra, where you learn about the site's defences, the garrison quarter and the views over Granada. The most highly rated stretch comes at the Nasrid Palaces, the best-preserved part of the monument, with three 14th- and 15th-century palaces holding much of the Alhambra's decorative, architectural and intellectual richness.
The endpoint may vary depending on the time slot for the palaces and the monument's operations. The tour may end at the Alcazaba, at the Partal, at the exit of the Nasrid Palaces, or at the exit of the Generalife gardens. The order may also be adjusted if there is conservation work, restoration or events within the site.
A visit to the Alhambra requires more advance planning than other monuments. Tickets are personalised, the original ID document must match the one used at purchase, and the entry time for the Nasrid Palaces is strictly enforced. Tickets also tend to sell out early on many dates, and same-day tickets at the ticket office are only sold subject to availability. That's why it's worth checking your ID, exact schedule and booked option carefully before arriving at the site.

Confirmation and voucher
The cancellation policy for this guided tour of the Alhambra differs from that of other tours because the tickets are personalised and fully tied to each visitor's ID. For that reason, it cannot normally be rescheduled or refunded, as the monument itself does not allow these tickets to be changed or modified due to the daily capacity limits.
If you want to change the date, you would need to pay again for the monument tickets. And if you cancel the booking, the amount is not refunded except in very exceptional cases. In addition, even in poor weather, tours usually go ahead as normal, and only in extreme situations may some areas of the site be closed for safety reasons.
Choose the option that best fits your plans and lock in your guided tour of the Alhambra before travelling to Granada. You can book the full tour with the Nasrid Palaces, a shorter option focused on the Generalife, Alcazaba and Palace of Charles V, or combined tours with the Albaicín and Sacromonte if you want to make the most of your day.
Once your booking is complete, you'll receive by email a voucher with all the practical information for the day of your visit, including the meeting point, location map, schedule and route description. Just show it from your phone. And since the Alhambra works with personalised tickets, controlled access, and time slots that tend to sell out in advance, booking ahead lets you secure your spot and arrive with everything organised from the start.

Yes. You must bring your original physical ID, whether that's a national ID card, passport or driving licence. The Alhambra operates with security checks and several access points within the site, so your ID is shown and scanned during the visit. It must also match the one used for the booking, as tickets are personalised.
Accessibility is fairly limited. If you use a wheelchair or a pushchair, keep in mind that the full route cannot be completed. The Alcazaba area cannot be visited 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 and avoiding the pushchair during the visit.
