Alhambra + Albaicin und Sacromonte
A complete picture of Granada in one private tour: 3 hours Alhambra plus 2 hours Albaicín, with clear explanation, viewpoints and good travel orientation.
This combination is ideal if you really want to understand Granada: first the Alhambra with its palaces, gardens and the fortress, afterwards the Albaicín and, if desired, Sacromonte with its viewpoints and cave districts. In this way you see not only the monuments, but also the city that has grown around them.
We explain clearly what you see, why it was built this way and which stories lie behind the details. In addition, you receive clear orientation for your stay without losing time: where the visit is worthwhile, when the best atmosphere is and what you should better avoid.

Meeting point, there are also toilets nearby and a cafeteria
Generalife
The gardens of the Generalife were the summer palace of the Nasrid Sultans and are a perfect example of Islamic horticulture. The harmonious combination of water, plants and architecture creates a peaceful oasis that invites you to linger
Palace of Charles V
This palace, which was built in the 16th century, stands in stark contrast to the Islamic architecture of the Alhambra. The monumental building now houses the Alhambra Museum and impresses with its circular courtyard and Renaissance architecture.
Alcazaba
The Alcazaba is the oldest fortress in the Alhambra and offers breathtaking panoramic views over the city of Granada and the surrounding mountains. From the towers of the Alcazaba, visitors can understand the strategic importance of this fortress
Mexuar
The Mexuar was the administrative wing of the Alhambra and served as a reception hall and courtroom. The ornately decorated rooms and the impressive ceiling work make this part of the Alhambra particularly worth seeing
Nasrid Palaces
These palaces are the centrepiece of the Alhambra and a masterpiece of Islamic architecture. They consist of several areas, including the Courtyard of the Lions (Patio de los Leones) and the Courtyard of the Myrtles (Patio de los Arrayanes), which are known for their ornate decorations and beautiful courtyards

Paseo de los Tristes
A picturesque promenade along the Darro River, surrounded by historic buildings and with privileged views of the Alhambra, which owes its name to the passage of funeral processions in the past

Aljibe Trillo
A charming little cistern in the Albaicín that reflects the Nasrid heritage and the importance of water in Granada's traditional architecture

A lesser-known viewpoint that offers panoramic views of both the Alhambra and the historic neighbourhoods and is perfect for those looking for a more intimate setting
Mirador de la Vereda de Enmedio
