General Admission
The standard General ticket — Nasrid Palaces, Alcazaba, Generalife gardens, and Charles V Palace — runs €22.27 for adults when booked directly through the Patronato, and typically a little more through a booking partner that includes fast-track handling. The Alhambra caps how many people can enter the Nasrid Palaces per half-hour window, so you'll be assigned a specific entry time printed right on your ticket — miss it and you may be turned away.
Alhambra Guided Tour Price
Expect to pay roughly €45–€65 per person for an Alhambra guided tour. That covers skip-the-line entry plus around 2.5–3 hours with a licensed guide walking you through the Court of the Lions, the Court of the Myrtles, and the Nasrid dynasty's history — not just where to take photos.
Reduced-Price & Family Tickets
The Alhambra doesn't run a free walk-in window the way some Spanish monuments do, but reduced rates of around €14.85 apply to EU youth-card holders, seniors 65+, and visitors with a disability of 33% or more (valid ID required at the gate). Children under 12 enter free, but still need to be added to a paid adult's booking — an empty seat isn't automatic.
Night Visits & the Dobla de Oro Combo
A Nasrid Palaces night visit runs about €12.73, and a Generalife-only night visit about €8.48 — both noticeably quieter than daytime slots. Planning to see more of Granada's Andalusi-era sites? The official Dobla de Oro combo ticket bundles the Alhambra with five other monuments around the city for about €30.48.
Why Not Just Buy a Ticket at the Gate?
Walk-Up Tickets Often Aren't an Option
Unlike most attractions, the Alhambra genuinely sells out — Nasrid Palaces slots routinely go days or even weeks ahead in spring, summer, and around Easter. Showing up without a booking is a real risk of not getting in at all, not just a longer wait.
Your Entry Time Is Locked In
Every ticket carries a specific half-hour window for the Nasrid Palaces. Booking ahead means that window is reserved and printed on your voucher before you ever leave home — nothing left to chance on the day.
Compare Before You Pay
Compare Alhambra guided tours, night visits, and combo tickets side by side, so you know exactly what the extra euros get you before you commit.

When's the Best Time to Visit the Alhambra?
Book earlier than you think you need to — Nasrid Palaces slots for spring and summer dates regularly sell out one to three months ahead, and Semana Santa week sells out even further in advance. Once you're there, the first entry slot of the day is the quietest and gives you the softest light in the Court of the Lions; the last slot before closing runs a close second. Midday between June and August is when the heat and the crowds both peak, so a night visit is worth considering if your dates allow it.

Worth Seeing While You're in Granada
The Albaicín
Granada's old Moorish quarter, a steep tangle of whitewashed lanes just across the valley — the Mirador de San Nicolás there has the classic postcard view back across to the Alhambra.
Granada Cathedral
A grand 16th-century cathedral in the city center, about a 20-minute walk or short taxi from the Alhambra — a natural next stop, especially paired with the neighboring Royal Chapel.
