★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 15,130 reviews · 3 hours · from $33

Use your timed ticket to visit Granada’s Alhambra complex, including the Nasrid Palaces, Alcazaba, Generalife Gardens, Palace of Charles V, Mosque Baths, and exhibitions. You explore without a guide, at your own pace, but the Nasrid entry time is strict. Allow at least three hours, arrive early, and bring your passport or ID.

“got 1/2 price tickets, so £21 was value for money. Local bus from Granada €1.60 Make sure you get in queue for Nazrid 20mins before time slot. Go into the museum (free) Carlos V & ask at information centre for their suggestions (staff speak at least 3 languages each). Water points around site (free refil bottles) & you can take your own food (just eat in designated areas). Smoking also, in designated areas (if relevant). The baths were not open, but did not detract from visit. There were people wearing shorts when I visited (but not worth risking). Remember to take your passport/ ID card.”

The music, the singing and the dancing was incredible. Well done to Tablao Flamenco La Alborea for a well organised experience with friendly staff.”
