Our bilingual guide, Carlos Fuentes, despite being early in the morning on Labor Day, was very pleasant and entertaining, a constant source of information and very interesting. Without Carlos Fuentes, the tour of the Alhambra would have been a tedious and lackluster experience, with so much to see but little explanatory information about it...Thank you very much, Carlos, for an unforgettable Alhambra experience! Our bilingual guide, Carlos Fuentes, despite the early tour hours on Labor Day , was very nice and pleasant, a constant yet very interesting source of information.

We were fortunate to have a guide, Antonio, who took us through the tour telling us every little detail of the Alhambra's monumental complex. All with great competence and passion, and even a hint of irony scattered here and there along a three-hour-long tour.

The Alhambra with the Nasrid Palaces was very impressive!!! However, we had explicitly booked a guided tour in German. On site we were assigned a tour guide who gave the tour in English. When we asked about it later, we were told that not enough people had registered for a German tour... So unfortunately the tour was only okay for us. We couldn't enjoy the beauty as we had to concentrate on the English language. We also simply didn't understand many details.

Discovering Andalusia From Seville to Córdoba to then reach Granada and easily visit all the major attractions using the Granada Card (purchased with the Headout app). Following the precise information we received through e-mail, we never had any problems using the aforementioned Card, thus visiting the Alhambra in perfect autonomy, then picking up the card related to the 9 city bus trips and using the tourist train. Also with the same Granada Card we then visited the cathedral, Sacromonte Abbey and other places of interest with entrance always included in the conditions of use. For us the use of the Granada Card was very useful especially for the time saved, avoiding long lines for entrances or the hassle of having to buy tickets for public transportation, etc. Positive experience, highly recommended.

The Alhambra is amazing. Definitely worth while getting up early to enter at 8.30am before the tour groups arrive. We spent almost four hours admiring the palaces and the extensive gardens. Warning: there are alot of steps to climb if you want to see the wonderful views. The snow on the Sierra Nevada made a spectacular backdrop. Hadn't realised the audio guide was in digital format rather than (old fashioned) headphones.

The information is wonderful, but the map doesn't match up with the flow of the place. It was very confusing to follow the numbers.

The format is perfect to have the tickets always in your cell phone. The only downside is that you have to get a card for transportation. It should be clearer. Best regards.

With the Granada card we were able to see the Alhambra but also enjoy the Granda bus and several other museums included in the price. It is an incredible value when visiting Granada.

Having the ticket in advance ment we knew we had a time slot booked which would have been impossible on the day. I don't think we saved any money as it would have been about the same cost to buy separate tickets and it would have been impossible to visit all the sights in 48 hours.

Know before booking your Alhambra Tickets

  • Advance booking is essential, not just recommended, to secure your visit, whether it's weeks or months ahead. Booking Alhambra tickets in advance ensures entry and prevents disappointment, especially when accessing the Nasrid Palaces, the highlight of Alhambra. 
  • You cannot buy Alhambra tickets last minute. It is not possible to get Alhambra tickets on the day of your visit, so make sure you book in advance to avoid disappointment.
  • There are three separate sections in Alhambra, the Alcazaba,  Nasrid Palaces, and Generalife Gardens.
  • Entry to the Nasrid Palaces is timed and dated. You must arrive on time to access the Nasrid Palaces.
  • If there are no last-minute Alhambra tickets available. You can consider buying a Granada card which includes access to Alhambra.
  • While children under 12 enter for free, selecting a ticket for them during purchase is necessary.  Children under 3 can obtain tickets at the ticket office without prior booking.
  • Ensure you carry your passport with you as it is the only form of identification accepted. National identity cards or driver's licenses are not permitted.

Ticket availability for Alhambra

Alhambra

Ticket Availability - High Season

As one of the most sought-after attractions in Spain with over 2.5 million visitors each year, Alhambra is extremely crowded from April to September. During this period, demand for tickets tends to exceed availability, which is why booking Alhambra tickets in advance is essential.

Due to the limited daily capacity, tickets for guided tours, Nasrid Palaces visits, and evening sessions can sell out months in advance.  During this period you should consider alternative options such as guided tours or combo tickets.

Alhambra

Ticket Availability - Low Season

The low season at Alhambra is from October to March. During the low season last minute Alhambra tickets are relatively easier to secure. With fewer tourists visiting you have more flexibility in choosing dates and times for your visit. The low season is the perfect time to explore the Nasrid Palaces which has limited entry slots daily and is the most popular part of Alhambra. While tickets may be easier to get during the low season, booking Alhambra tickets in advance is still advisable, especially if you have specific dates or timings in mind.

Booking tips 

  • As a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the most popular attractions in Spain, booking Alhambra tickets in advance is highly recommended to secure your entry.
  • Keep your entrance ticket and ID handy throughout your visit, as you'll need to show them multiple times. Consider having both the QR code on your phone and a printed paper ticket accessible, especially in case your phone battery is low. 
  • Arrive at the Nasrid Palaces entrance at least 30 minutes before your specified time slot to ensure you don't miss your entry. This allows enough time to locate the entrance and queue.
  • For visitors with limited mobility, wheelchair rentals are available at the Entrance Pavilion. Follow the disabled route signs for a comfortable visit. Please be aware that the Alcazba has uneven terrain and entry after sunset is prohibited for safety reasons.  
  • Utilize the free lockers at the Alhambra to store one medium-sized bag per person. These lockers are conveniently located near the Carlos V Palace.
  • Opt for the Gate of Justice entrance. This entrance, closer to the Alcazaba and Nasrid Palaces, typically has shorter lines than the main gate.
  • Bathroom facilities between the Alcazar and Nasrid Palaces are limited, so plan accordingly, especially if traveling with children.
  • Avoid Saturdays, public holidays, and days following a Spanish Puente (long weekend) for fewer crowds. These periods tend to be the busiest and last minute Alhambra tickets are very difficult to obtain.

Frequently asked questions about booking Alhambra tickets in advance

Do you need to book Alhambra tickets in advance?

Yes, booking Alhambra tickets in advance is highly recommended and often essential. Due to the popularity of this UNESCO World Heritage Site, tickets can sell out weeks or even months in advance, particularly during peak tourist seasons (April to September). Last-minute Alhambra tickets are very difficult to secure, and tickets are rarely available on the day of your visit.

Can you buy Alhambra tickets on the day?

No, you cannot reliably buy Alhambra tickets on the day of your visit. Finding last minute Alhambra tickets is extremely rare due to high demand and the limited daily capacity, tickets for Alhambra, especially for access to the Nasrid Palaces, tend to sell out months in advance. Booking Alhambra tickets in advance is best to avoid disappointment.

Is the Alhambra accessible for wheelchair users?

Alhambra is a historic estate and as a result it has loose stones and uneven terrain. While certain areas like the Generalife gardens have been adapted to accommodate visitors with reduced mobility. The Alcazaba area may pose challenges for those with mobility issues due to difficult access and unstable terrain.

Do Alhambra tickets grant access to the Nasrid Palace?

Not all Alhambra tickets include entry to the Nasrid Palace. Visitors must specifically book tickets that allow access to this site.

What documents do I need to bring with me when I arrive at the Alhambra?

When arriving at the Alhambra with a pre-booked ticket, bring a printed copy or electronic copy of your ticket confirmation, along with your passport. Other forms of identification, including government-approved IDs from other countries, are not accepted.

What to do if Alhambra tickets are sold out?

 If Alhambra tickets are sold out, you can try purchasing a Granada Card, which includes access to Alhambra and several other attractions in Granada. Alternatively, consider booking a guided tour that includes entry, as these tours may have reserved tickets even when standard last minute Alhambra tickets are unavailable.

How to get tickets to Alhambra if sold out?

 If tickets are sold out, consider looking for last-minute guided tours or combo tickets that include Alhambra. Guided tours and combo tickets sometimes have separate availability and can be an option to secure entry even if individual last minute Alhambra tickets are no longer available.

What happens if I arrive late for my designated entry time with a pre-booked ticket?

If you arrive late for your designated entry time, you may not be allowed entry, especially for timed entry tickets such as those for the Nasrid Palaces. It is essential to arrive on time to avoid missing your allocated entry slot.

How far in advance to book Alhambra tickets?

Ideally, book several weeks or months ahead of your desired date, especially if you plan to visit during peak season (summer and major holidays). For low-season visits (October to March), you may have more flexibility, but booking Alhambra tickets in advance is still advisable to ensure your preferred entry time.

We were fortunate to have a guide, Antonio, who took us through the tour telling us every little detail of the Alhambra's monumental complex. All with great competence and passion, and even a hint of irony scattered here and there along a three-hour-long tour.

Buying tickets was very easy. The site, which has other attractions, has confusing signage. The surprise was that you had to show your passport to get in. Luckily we had ours with us. Thank you.
