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 Experience!

Aitana is an excellent tour guide! Her pace was perfect for our small group and she was a wealth of information about everything to know about the wonders of Alhambra. We had plenty of time to take photos and ask questions. I highly recommend to go and see the place as it is truly magnificent.

Well worth the time!

We really enjoyed this tour and having the history and context of what was happening before, during and after the Alhambra was built. Gloria gave the perfect amount of information. Although it was a longer tour relatively speaking (3 hrs), it was definitely at the right speed and pace with a pause for a water and/or restroom break. The palaces and the gardens are just phenomenal to see. I’m really glad we did it!

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!

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.
