Discover the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Alhambra and Generalife Gardens on this fascinating morning tour. Escorted by your local guide, you'll explore beyond the beautiful Moorish architecture to learn the history of one of the most visited attractions in the world.
Your visit begins in the Alhambra, whose construction began in the 11th
century on the red hill known as Assabika which overlooks Granada. The
Alcazaba fortress was the first structure to be built, followed by the
royal palace and residence of members of the court.
You will
visit the most important halls and courtyards of the Alhambra,
including the Alcazaba fortress, the Serrallo, the Patio of los
Arrayanes (Myrtle Courtyard), the Hall of la Barca, the Salon of the
Embajadores (Ambassadors Hall), the Patio de los Leones (Lions
Courtyard), the Hall of the Abencerrajes, the Royal Baths and the
Palace of Charles V.
Continuing to the Generalife Gardens, next
to the Alhambra, you'll visit the retreat of leisure and recreation for
the Moorish kings of Granada. The beautiful gardens feature abundant
and varied flora and stunning water features. Your visit includes two
further courtyards, the Patio de la Acequia and the Patio de la Sultana.
