Alhambra Guided Tour
Description
At the indicated time, we'll meet next to the Alhambra ticket office. Are you ready to explore one of Spain's most famous monuments?
This guided tour of the Alhambra includes admission to the Generalife and its gardens, the Alcazaba, and the Charles V Palace. We'll visit these sites and discover the history of this palace complex, declared a World Heritage Site.
On this tour, we'll visit the beautiful gardens of the Generalife, whose origins date back to the 13th century, and we'll admire the Alcazaba, the main defensive structure built as part of the monument. These locations within the Alhambra will allow us to understand a little more about the history of the Nasrid kingdom of Granada.
We'll also visit the outside of the Palace of Charles V, which, unlike the characteristic Arab decoration of the Alhambra, stands out for its aesthetics that combines Baroque and Renaissance details.
About two to two and a half hours after the start of the activity, we'll part ways inside the Alhambra. At the end of the tour, with your ticket, you can visit the inside of the Palace of Charles V.
