Planning a trip to Granada<\/strong>? You’re so right! At the foot of the Sierra Nevada<\/strong>, this dynamic city is famous for its Alhambra<\/strong>, a masterpiece of Arab architecture. This palatial complex served as a stronghold for the last Muslims in Spain, at the time of the Reconquista by the Catholic Monarchs. But Granada also boasts magnificent religious buildings and picturesque neighborhoods (Sacromonte, Albaic\u00edn…) along the River Darro. We’ve found it to have a very special charm!<\/p>\n\n

In this article, you’ll discover a list of 10 ideas<\/strong> for things to do in Granada<\/strong>, illustrated by numerous photos. We’ve added a few bonus activities!<\/p>\n\n

Why visit?<\/h3>\n\n

You won’t want to miss the Alhambra. Perched on a hill, this palatial complex stands out against the backdrop of the snow-capped Sierra Nevada mountains. Surrounded by 2200m of ramparts, it features several palaces. The Nazrid Palaces, dating from the 13th century, are the most famous. However, we were disappointed with the visit, as over-visiting the site is putting it at risk. During your visit, be careful not to touch the decorative ornaments, which tend to disappear. Nearby, you can enter the Alcazaba, an 11th-century fortress. You’ll also see the 16th-century palace of Charles V. It houses the Museum of Fine Arts and the Alhambra Museum. While all these buildings are well worth a visit, our favorite is the Generalife. Located just before the exit, this summer palace features magnificent gardens! Spain’s most visited monument, entry to the museum is booked several months in advance<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n
