Discover

The Albaicín

Narrow streets, whitewashed houses and corners that preserve the essence of the old Arab quarter. Stroll unhurriedly through the Albaicín and climb up to its viewpoints to gaze at the Alhambra from one of Granada’s most recognisable perspectives.

Mirador de San Nicolás

One of the best places to enjoy the panorama of the Alhambra with Sierra Nevada as a backdrop. At sunset, the viewpoint becomes one of the liveliest spots in the city.

Cathedral and Royal Chapel

In the very heart of the historic centre, Granada Cathedral stands out for its monumental Renaissance architecture. Next to it is the Royal Chapel, where the Catholic Monarchs rest. An essential stop to learn about the city’s history.

Sacromonte

The neighbourhood of caves and flamenco. Its streets lead up to the Sacromonte Abbey and offer a different view of Granada, marked by tradition, art and exceptional views over the city.

Paseo de los Tristes

One of the most beautiful routes in the historic centre, beside the Darro river and at the foot of the Alhambra. Its historic buildings, terraces and small squares make this promenade a perfect place to enjoy Granada at a different pace.

Arab Baths and Andalusian heritage

The legacy of Al-Andalus is present in many corners of Granada. The old baths, courtyards, cisterns and architectural remains allow you to discover what life was like in the city during the Nasrid era.

Sierra Nevada

A short distance from Granada, Sierra Nevada offers a change of scenery at any time of year. It is a particularly attractive destination for winter sports, mountain routes or simply enjoying its landscapes.
