Tickets can be collected at the Alhambra either from the ticket office, presenting the reservation number and the identity card or passport for the person who made the booking, or from the ticket machines using the same credit card that you used to make the booking.

It is strongly recommended that you collect your tickets at least one hour before the entry slot you have been given for the Palacios Nazaríes and remember that if you miss your entry slot to the palaces you will be refused access.

Prices

A 1€ charge per ticket is added for all tickets bought on the internet, by phone or from the ticket machines in the Alhambra.

Getting to the Alhambra

It is a steep uphill walk to the Alhambra from the Plaza Nueva. If you don’t fancy this then catch a microbus from the Gran Vía (number 30 or 32) or if you are coming by car and want to avoid driving through Granada, park at the Alhambra car park which can be reached from the ‘Ronda Sur’, the motorway that runs along the south-side of Granada. This in turn is reached from the A-44 ring-road (circumvalación) that also links Granada with Motril to the south and Jaén to the north – take exit 132 and follow the pink signs for ‘Alhambra’ and this will take you there.
