Ticket availability for 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 it is essential for you book in advance. 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.
Ticket Availability - Low Season
The low season at Alhambra is from October to March. During the low season 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, it's still advisable to book in advance, especially if you have specific dates or timings in mind.
Alhambra highlights
Palace of Carlos V
The Palace of Carlos V is a newer addition to the Alhambra complex. It stands in stark contrast to the Moorish architecture with its Renaissance design. The Palace of Carlos V is designed around a circular courtyard with towering pillars supporting two levels. This unique architectural style symbolizes the union of heaven and earth, a central theme for Renaissance architects.
Frequently asked questions about booking your Alhambra tickets in advance
How far in advance can I purchase tickets for my visit to the Alhambra?
Tickets for the Alhambra can be purchased between two hours and four months in advance of your intended visit. Please check your chosen ticket for more details.
Where can I find the best views of the Alhambra?
As the Alhambra is perched on a hill, you can enjoy breathtaking views from various vantage points. Some of the finest views can be experienced from the watchtower in Alcazaba, the windows at Nasrid Palace, and the Generalife Palace.
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 is the cancellation policy for Alhambra Palace tickets?
Cancellation policies vary depending on the ticket type. But most Alhambra tickets can't be canceled or rescheduled.
What should I do if Alhambra Palace tickets are sold out?
If the tickets you want are unavailable, consider purchasing a guided tour ticket or a Granada Card. Another option is to opt for a Night Ticket to the Nasrid Palaces and Generalife. While these alternatives may not offer the full experience, they provide viable options, with guided tours being particularly recommended.
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.
