Guided Tour of the Alhambra with Hotel Pickup

The Alhambra is the only preserved Andalusian palatine complex in Europe and the most visited monument in Spain. Declared a World Heritage Site by the UNESCO, the palatine city combines military, residential and garden architecture in a complex that holds seven centuries of Nasrid and Christian history on the hill of Sabika, above Granada. This visit includes minivan pickup from your hotel in central Granada and an expert guide throughout the tour, with full access to all areas of the complex.

Our itinerary covers the monument's four main areas. The Nasrid Palaces concentrate the dynasty's political and residential core, with the Mexuar, the Palace of Comares and the Court of the Lions as the central sequence, each with a distinct function and ornamentation that our expert guide reveals in detail. The Alcazaba, the 13th-century military fortress, offers from its Tower of the Vela the most complete panoramic view of Granada and the vega. The Generalife, the sultans' retreat palace, rounds off the tour with its irrigation gardens and Mediterranean vegetation. The Palace of Charles V completes the visit with its unique Renaissance circular layout set in the heart of the Nasrid complex.
