Guided tour of the Alhambra surroundings

Get a taste of the Alhambra on a captivating walking tour through the monument’s surroundings.

The walk sets off toward the impressive Puerta de la Justicia, one of the most iconic entrances to the Nasrid complex. As the path winds along the exterior grounds, learn how Hispano-Arabic architecture continues to influence and inspire the modern world.

You'll stop at several notable landmarks, such as the Church of Santa María, the Convent of San Francisco, and the grand Palace of Charles V, a Renaissance masterpiece known for its striking design.

The tour then leads to the Alcazaba, the fortress that once formed the Alhambra’s main line of defence. Discover how the site transformed over the centuries—from its Islamic beginnings to the legacy it represents today. Hidden among its towers and walls are age-old stories, including the intriguing legend of the Tower of the Seven Floors.

The tour ends at the Plaza de los Aljibes, offering breathtaking panoramic views of Granada. To complete the experience, visit a local artisan workshop to observe the intricate craft of Granadan marquetry (taracea) before ending by the elegant Nasrid Pool, a serene emblem of Andalusian beauty.
