Your Experience

Start Your Visit from the Center of Granada

The group meets their guide at Abside Shop. You will walk together to Pasiegas Square before entering the Cathedral. Once inside, expect a medley of intricate structural styles and discover the interesting truth of its foundations. Then, make your way down the street of Calle Officios, to Alcaicería - a quaint bazaar where you can get Moorish souvenirs. Next stop is the Royal Chapel, where you will hear the stories behind the vaults, arches, crypts, and tombs within this imperial mausoleum.

Bask in Architectural Extravagance

In the next part of your tour, climb up to the magnificent Moorish labyrinth of Alhambra, originally commissioned by Nasrid rulers in the 13th century and renovated by successors over the years. Perched on the Sabika Plateau overlooking Granada, this self-contained citadel has its own marketplaces, residences, gardens, sentinel posts, and a total of 6 palaces. Spend the last 3 hours of your tour traversing shimmering pools, expansive courtyards and ornate greenery between Alhambra and its luxurious neighbor Generalife.

Unpack Granada’s riveting political history and architectural influences on this 5-hour guided tour in English, Spanish, or French.
Catch some stunning artwork along with the tombs of Isabella I and Ferdinand II in the Royal Chapel and Cathedral.
Alhambra hosts Nasrid Palaces, the Gardens, and the city of Medina - once teeming with lively marketplaces, public baths, mosques, and homes.
Circle within the Palace of Charles V and explore the hilltop’s western fortress Alcazaba.
Also visit Generalife, the summer palace of Nasrid rulers, separated from Alhambra by the ravine Cuesta de Los Chinos.
