Q: What is the best time to visit the Generalife Gardens?

Q: How long does it take to explore the Generalife Gardens?

The time you’ll spend exploring the Generalife Gardens depends on if you’re visiting just the gardens, or the wider Alhambra complex. 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.

Q: Are the Generalife Gardens accessible?

Yes, there are wheelchair-accessible routes at the Generalife Gardens and the wider Alhambra complex, but the site is not fully accessible, because some areas have steps and different levels. 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.

What are people saying about Generalife Gardens

Alhambra & Generalife Skip the line Small Group including Nasrid Palaces

Gail_H, Apr 2026

A guided visit of Alhambra is worth the price!

We weren't sure about visiting Alhambra with a guide but are so glad that we did! It's huge and there is so much history associated with it. We would not have been able to appreciate all of that without the informative guidance of Laura. She gave us the history, interspersed with humor, to make it more interesting. Having a guide is definitely worth the price.

Very engaging guide Sandra

It was a very interesting and informative tour of 3 hours. Our guide Sandra was very knowledgeable and could address all our questions. Though the tour was pricey but we consider it worthwhile. Highly recommended. We were also sold a Fleminco show by the company which was quite average. I would recommend to do your own research and find a better less costly show.

You need a guide!

Guide said this was a slow day but there were so many people! And so much to see! Have mixed feelings on earphones. Was great not having to be right next to her to hear but frequently they didn't work. I can see when we were going thru some inside passages they might cut out but sometimes I could see her and it didn't work. I'd have hated to try to see this without a guide and Christina was very good.

Granada palace tour

The tour of the Alhambra was three hours viewing the palaces and gardens of the sultan and the later king of Spain. The tour guide , Alba, was so knowledgeable and entertaining that the time passed quickly and the group learned the history of Spain from 1100 AD to the 1500s. She also explained Moslem culture and architecture. Tour was well worth the fee. There is about a two mile walk including stairs.
