Best Time to Visit

Granada has one small airport, located 17 km west of the city. The airport maintains a scheduled traffic link with Madrid and Barcelona. You can reach the city centre by bus or taxi. The trip lasts approximately 30–45 minutes.

Five daily buses operated by Autocares J. Gonzáles run between the airport and the city centre.

Many people fly to Malaga and then take a bus or a train to Granada. Malaga airport is located approximately 123 km from Granada and there are regular bus services between the two cities.

Granada International Airport (GRX)

City buses are clean and convenient and the main bus station is just outside of town. Tourist offices normally offer a free pamphlet that shows local routes.

There are two ways to buy your ticket. If there's a ticket machine at your bus station, you must necessarily buy and validate it there (it won't be possible to buy one on the bus from that stop). If there isn't a ticket machine at your bus station, then you will have to buy your ticket on the bus.

Train

You will find a taxi rank at Plaza Nueva.
If you want to hail one on the street, make sure that it's displaying a green light or a sign saying "libre" (which means vacant).
It is also possible to order a taxi by phone.

Thanks to a system called “farmacias de guardia” ("duty pharmacies"), pharmacies in Granada takes turns so that you will always find one open in the city. When any pharmacy is closed, it posts the name of the closest open pharmacy on the door.

The impressive, enchanting shadow of the Alhambra casts a magical spell upon all those who pass through Granada. A city of legends, of travellers and pirates — lore comes to life in the warren of the Albayzin, and in the inescapable presence of the ancient Moorish castle, the famous Alhambra. The Sierra Nevada Mountains provide an impressive backdrop and add to the enchanting feel of this mysterious place.

Built on a hill overlooking Granada and set against a backdrop of the Sierra Nevada, the Alhambra is a majestic medieval complex of intricately decorated palaces, pristine gardens, and a once-mighty fortress.

It is among the top 3 most visited landmarks in Spain, and together with the Generalife Gardens, they form a UNESCO World Heritage site. 

See the complex's fascinating mix of Renaissance and Moorish architecture, admire panoramic city vistas from a hilltop perch, and then stroll through the botanical beauty of the Generalife Gardens.

The Albayzín, also known as Albaicín, is composed of snaking corridors and alleyways that make up the old Arabian quarter of Granada. It is a pleasure just to wander the warren of streets that organically formed back in the Nasrid period (13th–15th centuries). The neighbourhood was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1994, as an extension of the historic site of the nearby Alhambra.

Mirador de San Nicolás

This mystic neighbourhood's name literally means "sacred mountain". The place was traditionally occupied by the Gitanos (Romani people). A series of roads winding up the mountain are flanked by caves that are literally carved out of the side of the mountain. They served as the original dwellings for this area's first inhabitants. Many of the caves are still used as houses; others have been converted to restaurants and bars.

Flamenco is a passionate, rhythmical dance drawing on folkloric music traditions from Southern Spain. Generally accompanied by special musical instruments, this is a vibrant form of art unique to the region. Numerous providers offer Flamenco experiences in all manner of locations.
