Alhambra tickets compared

The cheapest ways into the Alhambra are the Granada Card and the official ticket. If both are gone for your date, tickets from tour companies with their own Nasrid Palace slots can help.

Tickets with the Nasrid Palaces

Every ticket in this table covers the daytime visit with the Alcazaba, Generalife and a fixed entry time for the palaces, some with an audio guide. None includes a guide.

Operator prices depend on the date and time; the amount shown at checkout is what counts.

Four ways into the Alhambra

  1. Granada Card. Alhambra slot plus monuments, bus and train, sold only by the city. Worth it if you want to see more than the Alhambra. See the versions.
  2. Official ticket. Admission only, from the Patronato de la Alhambra on tickets.alhambra-patronato.es, no extras.
  3. Ticket from a tour company. The tickets above. More expensive than the official ticket, but available on days when nothing is left there.
  4. Guided tour with ticket. Admission is included and a guide comes with it. Sometimes there are still places here when plain tickets are scarce. Compare guided tours.

Without the Nasrid Palaces

If there are no palace slots left, you can still visit the Alcazaba, Generalife and gardens. The Granada Card Jardines covers exactly that, and so do guided tours.

Before you book

  • Tickets are personal. Many operators ask for each person's name, date of birth and ID number at booking; without these details you will have trouble at the entrance.
  • At the entrance you show your original ID. A copy or photo is not enough.
  • Plain tickets are usually non-refundable, with tour companies too. For guided tours you often get part of the price back if you cancel up to 24 hours before. The rule for each option is in the table.
  • The entry time for the Nasrid Palaces is fixed. Better be at the entrance half an hour early.

In the evening there is one more option: the night visit to the palaces, see Alhambra at night.
