Considered the only medieval Muslim palace in Europe, it was, in reality, a palatine city in which the artistic expression of those who lived there left the beauty of their culture impressed through the interiors of the palace (tiles and plasterwork). as exteriors (gardens).

What are people saying about Generalife Gardens

Alhambra & Generalife Skip the line Small Group including Nasrid Palaces

Jan_M, Sep 2026

Alhambra small group tour

The small group tour of the Alhambra Granada was definitely worth the money. Georgia who led our group was very interesting and knowledgeable. The Nasrid Palaces in particular were amazing and the General Life Gardens were beautiful and welcomely cool in the heat. Unfortunately we visited just after an earthquake and the fortress was closed for safety reasons as well as a couple of rooms within the palaces however this did not spoil our enjoyment of the afternoon. Highly recommend

Great Guide, Georgia was knowledgeable and wonderfully articulate

Georgia was our guide. She was very knowledgeable and articulate. The tour started and finished on time. We appreciated this but do make sure you get there on time as a couple didn’t and we left without them. The tour itself took in all the key parts of the Alhambra and the descriptions and information given were all perfectly judged.

Great tour for the historically and intellectually curious!

This tour was very nice and we gor a lot of detail throughout the palace and gardens from our guide Abubakr, who was excellent. From religious explanations and historical facts to stories of Life in the 13th century when the Alhambra construction was started, through to the 19th century. I had not realized that the reason the Alhambra stands today is primarily due to Washington Irving, who was an ambassador to Spain! I highly recommend this tour to the intellectually and historically curious!
