Home to the world-famous Alhambra, one of the most visited sights in Spain, and one of the most important examples of Islamic architecture in the world, Granada captures the very essence of Andalucía and is an unmissable city for lovers of all things Spanish. Set at the foothills of the snowy Sierra Nevada, and yet just a stone’s throw away from the sunny shores of the Mediterranean, Granada’s contradictions and mixture of old and new, serenity and bustle, make it one of the most fascinating melting-pots in Europe.
Granada’s historical significance as the last stronghold of Islamic rule in Spain is displayed in the magnificence of the most famous sight in the city, the Alhambra. This sprawling city-palace, with its intricately carved arches and serene courtyards is what draws visitors to Granada. Beyond the Alhambra though, there is so much more to discover! Granada’s neighbourhoods each have their own charm and character, from the buzzing squares and tapas bars of the old Jewish quarter, the Realejo, to the narrow streets of the Albaicín and its tucked-away squares overlooking the Alhambra, to the hillside district of Sacromonte with its houses and flamenco bars set in caves in the hills. Linking these diverse districts together is the city center, dominated by the Cathedral and Royal Chapel, the centre of Granada’s Catholic history.
Discover Granada’s top attractions in the Essential Granada Free Tour, run by our partners Walk in Granada, including the Cathedral, the Royal Chapel, the Alcaiceria and the lower part of the Albaicin. Join your local, expert guide to take a trip back in time and discover the history and legacy of the Zirí and Nasrid dynasties and the transformation of the city’s narrow streets and mosques into churches, convents and palatial houses after the 15th Century victory of the Catholic monarchs. Explore further with the Albaicin and Sacromonte Free Tour, discovering the winding streets of the Moorish quarter and hearing about life in Nasrid Granada before immersing yourself in the flamenco culture and fascinating hillside caves of Sacromonte.
