Travel guide of Getaway to Granada with entrance to the Alhambra
Day 1:
Discovering the Alhambra and its surroundings
On your getaway to Granada you will discover one of the most beautiful monuments in the world and the most essential in the Andalusian city. Talking about Granada without talking about the Alhambra is impossible and almost offensive. And it is that, the Alhambra in Granada is one of those must-see places, of which you have to see at least once in your life. Its history and excellent conservation is a delight but, without a doubt, what most attracts visitors is its enormous beauty, both in its construction and its impressive gardens with numerous fountains. With your ticket you can visit the entire complex, which is very large, so book at least half a day. On this visit you will also get to know the Palacio de Carlos V, the Alcazaba, the gardens and the Generalife palace, El Partal strong>and the Nasrid Palaces, where the famous Patio de los Leones, the Palace of Comares, Mexuar and the Corredor - Lindaraja are located. Once you finish your visit, near the Alhambra complex there is the beautiful Carrera del Darro promenade, continue walking to Plaza Nueva through it, there you can have tapas in its many establishments. Then, on foot, you will reach Calderería Vieja and Calderería Nueva, the district of tea houses. Take the opportunity to sit down to rest and try some of the Arab sweets that you will find in them. Following the route, you will pass by the viewpoint of the Placeta de los Carvajales and you will enjoy the excellent views from the famous Mirador de San Nicolás. One of the best sunsets in Granada.
If you have more days on your trip to Granada, don't miss the Albaicín and Sacromonte, the Alcaicería, the Granada Cathedral and the Royal Chapel.

Practical tips
Entrance to the Nasrid Palaces
The Nasrid palaces have limited capacity for conservation reasons, so you will only be able to access them if there is availability at the time of your reservation. For this reason, we advise you to book your trip to Granada well in advance. Normally between 20 days and a month depending on the season. The price of admission is the same whether or not you access them since the Alhambra complex does not make any discounts in the event that you do not get to visit them.
In any case, our recommendation is that you do not miss out on visiting the Alhambra because you cannot enter the Nasrid Palaces, as it is a huge and beautiful complex that you absolutely cannot miss.
