If you’re only seeing the gardens, it’s best to allow at least 1–2 hours to leisurely stroll the grounds. If you’re visiting the Alhambra, the Nasrid Palaces, and the Alcazaba, give yourself at least half a day.

If you’d like a sense of the grounds before visiting, a map of accessible routes can be found online; in addition, wheelchairs are available to borrow from the Entrance Pavilion.

Q: Can you take photos in the Generalife Gardens?

Yes, you can take photos in the Generalife Gardens—where you’ll see plenty of stunning courtyards, water features, and plants—as long as they’re for personal use only. Flash photography, tripods, and selfie sticks are typically prohibited throughout the Alhambra complex, and the signage usually indicates this.

Celia is the queen of tour guides. Well worth it.

This tour was fantastic. It felt complete yet concise. My husband and I learned SO much from Celia whose detailed yet simple explanations were captivating and educational. I felt sorry for the folks who were viewing the palace and grounds solo. They missed all the informaiton that made "The Red" come alive before our very eyes. She inspired us to do even further research after returning to our hotel. I HIGHLY recommend this tour and particularly Celia J!

Book well in advance, take water, and wear comfortable shoes— prepare to be awed by the beauty of the palaces, the views from the Alcazar, and the verdant Generalife gardens. The Alhambra is incredible and there is always more to ponder and marvel at. Take your time here.

Best thing to do in Granada

We had a great tour of the Alhambra, Generalife gardens and Nasrid palaces originally built by the Nasrid dynasty with some additional by the Spanish Christian monarchs. We had a great guide who shared insights on how Granada was ruled over the centuries. Beautiful architectures from the Nasrid influence. Well worth the visit.
