★★★★★★★★★★3.0 · 40 reviews · 2 to 3 hours (approx.) · from $76

You receive admission to Granada’s Alhambra and the Nasrid Palaces, plus one tourist-train trip from a suitable stop. This is a self-guided ticket service, not a walking or audio tour. Nasrid entry times are assigned, tickets may arrive close to the visit, and last-minute availability is not always secure.

“This is not any type of guided tour nor audio one. The description says this but it might be overlooked since it shows a meeting place. That sort of confused us as we and others arrived at the die died meeting spot and then wondered what to do. It is only entry tickets to site plus entry to Nasrid palace. You will be assigned a specific time to enter Nasrid - BUT you get no input into what time is best for you. Our timed entry was 16:00 and we had to rush through this because our train departure was at 17:35. Also if there’s a person who is mobility…”
