Tips for a Calm Visit to the Alhambra

Make space for a relaxed visit, from your palace entry time to the walk between areas.

Plan around your palace time

Your Nasrid Palaces entry time is fixed, and late arrival can mean losing palace access. Plan the rest of the visit around it and allow around three hours in total.

Bring the essentials

Tickets are personal, so carry the original ID or passport that matches each ticket. Comfortable shoes, water and sun protection help on the walk between areas.
