It is one of the most famous monuments of Islamic architecture and one of the best-preserved palaces of the historic Islamic world, in addition to containing notable examples of Spanish Renaissance architecture. Well preserved . Take tickets in advance and for Nasrid palace , you can only enter at the fixed time selected by you. But do not miss this part . It’s worth visiting and very beautiful.
A Place Of Pure History It's Like Going Back In Time. You Need A Good Entire Day To Do All The Palaces. Highly Recommended To Do All Of The Palaces. Buy tickets in advance also don't forget you must bring your passport as evidence to get in.
A very lovely place to visit. History, architecture and beautiful gardens. Plan to spend 4-6 hours to manage seeing what it has to offer. Audio guide in many languages are available for 6€. Drink water is available in various spots. Walking paths were well marked and easy to follow. The ticket price for a complete visit costs 18€ per person.
A must see when in Granada. Fantastic site with so much history and breathtaking architecture / gardens. Very serene atmosphere and amazing views of the city and mountains when you get up into the Palace/Fortress. Parking was easy. Would recommend booking tickets in advance as there are a limited amount per day.
I would recommend getting there early in the morning to avoid the afternoon sun / other visitors as it does get very busy. We opted for audio guide tickets (using an app/website) - cut in and out a bit but that was due to our network but overall very insightful.

Truly beautiful with water gardens, fountains, courtyards, mosaics and stunning architecture. Incredibly well preserved and accessible albeit located on a hill so quite physically challenging for those with disabilities. parking is locally available and close to the site and the guided tours are well worth considering as there is so much history. Takes a minimum of 3-4 hours to enjoy fully so plan a full day and enjoy some lunch break in-between. Mid summer can be very hot and there is limited shade so be sure to use sunblock and consider taking a parasol.
Absolutely incredible and a must visit for anyone in Granada and beyond.
Book the tickets in advance and bring your passports, as they're tied to your tickets. There are two main paths up and two entrances and I'd recommend trying both - they offer great views of the surrounding area and are quite unique in their own right.
Prepare to walk and climb steps - a lot. Bring a water bottle if visiting during the heat of the summer, there are several places to refill it. We took our time and spent around 6 hours with the audio tour, but you could easily spend more or less depending on what's of specific interest to you.

Quite beautiful gardens and impressive buildings. In summer it can be extremely hot due to the hot stone everywhere. We measured over 40 Celsius.
The place itself was great, but because of its age it is a very well presented ruin in many areas. After two hours of climbing towers and several other buildings, we paid our dues to the sun god and moved to an air-conditioned venue in the old part of the city.
However, I'll be back in autumn or spring sometime to complete the course.
