Highlights

Discover Granada on foot: from Plaza Nueva’s historic heart, trace the Darro River along the cobbled Carrera del Darro, soak up legendary views from Paseo de los Tristes, and wind through the whitewashed alleys of the Albaicín to the iconic Mirador de San Nicolás for jaw-dropping panoramas of the Alhambra and Sierra Nevada. Descend through the old quarter to step inside Corral del Carbón, a beautifully preserved Nasrid caravanserai, before returning to the center—no tickets, just timeless streets, stories, and views.

About Granada

Granada is an Andalusian city below the Sierra Nevada, home to the Alhambra palace complex, the Moorish Albaicín quarter and a famous tapas habit.

The Alhambra, a hilltop fortress and palace complex built by the Nasrid rulers in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, is one of Spain's most visited monuments, with carved plasterwork, courtyards and pools, and the Generalife gardens beside it. Granada fell in 1492, the last Muslim kingdom in Spain, and the cathedral and Royal Chapel, with the tombs of Ferdinand and Isabella, mark that turning point.

Top-ranked sights in Granada: Generalife Gardens, Alhambra (Alhambra de Granada), Palace of Charles V (Palacio de Carlos V).
