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

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.

Good tour.

This tour was informative and the guide was great. I should have realized that it didn’t include the Nastrid Palace. So know that going into it. Knowing that I actually would have rather done a different tour. But the guide herself was the sweetest!!!

This was a 3-hour walk within the Alhambra with a super knowledgeable guide (Georgia) who brought this incredible monument to life! Book well in advance, take water, and wear comfortable shoes— prepare to be awed by the beauty of the palaces, the views from the Alcazar, and the verdant Generalife gardens. The Alhambra is incredible and there is always more to ponder and marvel at. Take your time here.
