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.

Alhambra Complete: Ticket Skip-the-Line Nasrid Palace and Generalife with Guide

Tasha_O, Jun 2026

Very Organized and Timely

My husband and I had a great time with this tour. Our tour guide, Jana, was very friendly and knowledgeable. She had a lot of information to share with us and did a great job keeping us organized and on time, especially when we needed to arrive for our schedule time for the Nasrid Palace.

While an amazing experience, it is a lot of walking, uphill and going upstairs. I enjoyed the exercise but a couple people were pretty tired by the end of it. I can’t emphasize this enough - wear proper walking shoes. Lots of cobblestones and dirt paths. Our guide, Celia, was quite personable and knowledgeable. She knew a lot of history & anecdotal stories. Overall, I recommend the experience.

Could have been better

The tour was great . Customer service was horrible. The tour time was changed and we weren’t notified even after I called Maria at customer service as the directions tab on the Viator invite directed us via a back entrance to Al ham bra in order to get to the main gate. Nonetheless, it was a very frustrating experience until the tour actually started. Itana was awesome guide.

Bucket list Alhambra!

Book this tour! The Alhambra is a bucket list destination and it's best to go with an informed guide to get the most out of it. Our premium English tour group was a bit larger than promised, but the guide was excellent. She used a headset and we each had individual earpieces, so it was easy to hear her commentary despite the crowds. The tour starts early, so you get ahead of most of the other tourists and can even beat the heat. The Alhambra over delivers!

Mercedes is an excellent tour guide (English). She is very knowledgeable about Alhambra, Nasrid Palace and Granada. Remember to bring your passport or drivers license as ID or they won’t let you in. I wish there had been a reminder sent since I booked this trip months ago. The woman at the meet up site stated that you need an ID to get in everywhere in Spain. I’ve been here for 3 weeks and it’s the first time that I was asked for ID.

Absolutely Wonderful!

We had the pleasure of having Abubakr as our tour guide and it was nothing short of amazing. I know that 3 hours might sound intimidating and like something you might check out of halfway through, but Abubakr was so fun and really told a story as you walked through the Alhambra. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone wanting a fun and fascinating tour. We learned so much that we could’ve never discovered in our own. For reference it was my husband and I and our two daughters. What a blast.

A Worthwhile Tour

This was a three hour tour of Alhambra and the Generalife (Gardens). Our tour guide was extraordinarily knowledgeable, and was a graduate archaeologist. Although the tour was expensive, we felt it was worth it. We got a lot more of the history and archeological details of how the various fortresses and palaces, as well as mosques/churches came to be than we would ever have gotten on our own.
