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.

Excellent and informative

Fantastic tour with Georgia! So knowledgeable and we learned a lot. Gorgeous scenery and would highly recommend this tour. Go early because it gets very hot. Also, inside fortress and one of the Nasrid palaces was not accessible because of the earthquakes two weeks ago. They did have damage but thankfully no one was injured.
