Alhambra and Nasrid Palace Ticket
- Entry to the Nasrid Palaces, Alhambra, Generalife, Palace of Charles V, the Mosque Baths, Space of the Month, and temporary exhibitions
IN THE ALHAMBRA
At the Alhambra, you'll discover where the Sultans and their Grand Court once led a life of luxury. Built in the 13th and 14th centuries, it stands as the only intact medieval Islamic palace. The Alhambra is not just one of the most remarkable structures in Granada, but in all of Europe. Its breathtaking beauty has inspired artists worldwide, who have immortalised it through poetry, painting, music, architecture, and garden design, further elevating its global renown.
THE GENERALIFE
Visit the Generalife palace, the famous rural villa in Moorish Spain, which remains intact because of its prestigious location above the Alhambra. It’s hard to say what the Generalife originally looked like, as it has been rebuilt at different moments throughout the Christian period. This was mostly because of neglect and deterioration. However, today, orchards are planted along terraces shored up by stone walls and the palace itself stands regally atop them, offering fine views over the citadel and city. This luxurious palace was used by the sultans to escape the hustle and bustle of the royal court below, a place where they could enjoy the pleasures of life.
THE NASRID PALACES
After Generalife, visit The Nasrid Palaces known for their intricate stucco work, beautiful tile mosaics, wooden ceilings, and expansive courtyards, all showcasing the grandeur of Islamic art and architecture in mediaeval Spain. The Nasrid Palaces were built by the Nasrid dynasty, the last Muslim dynasty to rule over the Emirate of Granada in Andalusia, during the 13th to 15th centuries. There are three Nasrid Palaces today: Mexuar, Comares, and the Palace of Lions.
PALACE OF CHARLES V
Next to see is the Palace of Charles, admired as one of the finest Renaissance palaces in all of Europe, for its great circular patio and colonnades, as well as its facade in rusticated stone. This stunning palace is a must-see for its unique beauty and architectural structures.
PRO TIP
If you’re feeling energetic, walk up to the Alhambra! There are 2 routes:
1st route: Starting from the street Cuesta de Gomérez in Plaza Nueva. This is the more historically interesting route, where you’ll see landmarks like The Gate of the Pomegranates. Past this monument are the tree-lined avenues of the Alhambra, and you’ll eventually reach the Justice Gate and the Charles V Pillar, which is actually a fountain!
2nd route: Via Cuesta del Rey Chico (the Little King’s Slope), also often called Cuesta de los Chinos (Pebble Slope), because of its paving. This walk isn’t as historic, but still very pleasant and slightly shorter. You’ll walk along the fortress until you reach Fuentepeña (the Generalife palace’s esplanade).

Interesting facts
THE RED CASTLE
This beautiful palace has an interesting name. The name "Alhambra" is derived from the Arabic "qa'lat al-Hamra", meaning "the red castle", referring to the reddish hue of its walls, especially visible at sunset.
ACOUSTIC AND LIGHT DESIGN
When visiting the Alhambra, pay attention to the design of the rooms and courtyards. They were designed with acoustics in mind, enhancing the transmission of sound during gatherings and performances. Windows and reflective surfaces were strategically placed to optimise natural light and regulate temperature.
FLUID POWER OF THE PALACE
One of Alhambra’s most interesting features is its use of water, showcasing advanced fluid power. The complex relied on water conduits to channel water from the River Darro, distributing it throughout the palaces and gardens via an intricate network of channels, pools, syphons, and fountains. This way not only did the gardens get water, but the palaces were cooled which enchanted the aesthetic appeal.
