Description

If you're wondering about the origins of the monument visited by almost three million people every year, you need to know that its name comes from the Arabic: al-Hambra ('the red one'). It was designed between the 9th and 12th centuries as a military area (Qal'at al-hamra, 'Red Fortress'), but not only for that: the Alhambra was a stronghold, a Nasrid palace and a medina (small city) all at the same time. That was until 1492, when it became a Christian court after the reconquest of Granada by the Catholic Monarchs. As the heritage site is enormous and full of details, a visit to the Alhambra is never short. Some people do it in one or two hours, but history lovers can take more than five hours. From the Alcazaba to the Royal Palaces, the charming Gilded Room, the majestic Comares Hall, the Renaissance palace of Charles V (now the Museum of Fine Arts) or the famous Courtyard of the Lions...

Itinerary

Admission included120 min

It is true that Andalusia has many World Heritage Sites; But the most spectacular and visited by far is the Alhambra, a monumental historical complex. Its success is understood if it is seen from the San Nicolás viewpoint, on the other side of the Darro River. Better if it is done at sunset, accompanied by the guitars and singing of street performers. The former president of the United States, Bill Clinton, only had a few hours there to declare that it was “the most beautiful sunset in the world.”

Exceptional trip to the Alhambra and Albaicin

We had a fantastic trip with SunTravel Granada. I was traveling with my elderly and disabled mother. We did the private Alhambra and Albaicin tour and also travelled from Granada to Malaga airport with Rafa. Rafa is exceptionally kind, patient and helpful. He was great in organising tailored trips for us with prompt communication before we left. Our trip to Granada wouldn't have been the same without his input. I had some anxieties about traveling with my son and mum but Rafa took any stresses away and ensured that all age groups had a great time. I would highly recommend using SunTravel Granada to anyone and would like thank Rafa again for ensuring we had a wonderful time.
