Frequently asked questions about things to do in Granada

Everything you need to know before exploring Granada.

What's the most common mistake people make on their first trip to Granada?

The most common one is not booking the Alhambra far enough in advance (tickets can sell out weeks or even months ahead during high season) and underestimating the slopes of the Albaicín, which are noticeably steeper than the flat center of other Andalusian cities.

What time is best to visit the Alhambra to avoid crowds?

The first slot of the morning tends to be the quietest, before the large tour groups arrive. Entry to the Nasrid Palaces has an assigned time slot, so choosing an early one helps you avoid both the heat and the crowds at once.

Is there a dress code to enter the Cathedral or the Alhambra?

At Granada Cathedral it's best to avoid swimwear or bare torsos, as with any active place of worship. The Alhambra has no dress restrictions, but comfortable shoes are recommended for the cobblestones in the courtyards and gardens of the Generalife.

Is it worth combining Granada with other cities on the same trip?

Yes, Granada connects well with Córdoba (around 2 hours by train) and with the Costa Tropical (Salobreña, Almuñécar) as a day trip, combining history with a beach day on the same trip.

Is English widely spoken in Granada, or should I know some Spanish?

Around the Alhambra and the main tourist areas, basic English is no problem, but that's not always the case in the Albaicín, the Sacromonte, or the neighborhood markets — a few phrases in Spanish go a long way.

Do I need to book restaurants in advance?

For casual tapas, it's usually not necessary (in Granada, the free tapa with your drink is the norm, so bar-hopping is part of the plan). For cave restaurants in the Sacromonte with a flamenco show included, it's best to book a few days ahead.

What dates should I avoid or look for, depending on the type of trip?

Holy Week and Corpus Christi bring the most intense atmosphere, but also the biggest crowds and the highest prices. Fall and early spring offer very pleasant weather with far fewer crowds, which also makes it easier to get Alhambra tickets without booking as far in advance.

How much walking does a typical day of sightseeing in Granada involve?

Quite a bit more than in a flat city: between the slopes of the Albaicín, the Alhambra grounds (which are huge once you're inside), and the Sacromonte, it's easy to pass 15,000 steps. Comfortable shoes matter here even more than in other Andalusian destinations.

What should I pack in my daypack for a day of sightseeing in Granada?

Water and sun protection in warm season, but also a light layer if traveling in winter — sitting at the foot of the Sierra Nevada, Granada runs noticeably colder than Seville or Córdoba at that time of year. Your ID or passport is essential, since Alhambra tickets are tied to the ID used at booking.
