How to get tickets for the night tour of the Alhambra?

If the Alhambra is impressive in daylight, the magic it exudes at night is breathtaking. That's why I recommend booking a guided night tour of the Alhambra and enjoying this beautiful monument illuminated under the starlight.
If this is your first time in Granada, you will probably prefer to visit during the day, but if you want to escape the crowds and enjoy a peaceful tour with fewer people around, the guided night tour is a great option.
In this article about night tours of the Alhambra, you'll find everything you need to plan your night visit and know what to expect when you tour the majestic Alhambra at the end of the day.
How long does it take to see the Alhambra?

It takes between 3 and 4 hours to visit the Alhambra. It is a very large complex with extensive gardens, courtyards and rooms, intricate ceiling details, columns and fountains that you will want to admire as you explore every corner.
The duration of the visit to the Alhambra with an expert guide will be similar, approximately 3 hours, and afterwards you will have free time to wander around the interior at your leisure.
What are the opening hours of the Alhambra?

The Alhambra is open every day of the week, all year round(except Christmas and New Year's Day).
However, the Alhambra's opening and closing times may vary depending on the summer or winter season (from 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. in winter and until 8 p.m. in summer).
The opening hours may also vary depending on whether you plan to visit the Alhambra during the day or at night. In any case, I recommend that you check my article on the Alhambra's opening hours to plan your visit in more detail.
What is the best day to visit the Alhambra?

Given how busy it gets, it is best to avoid weekends and public holidays so you can visit the Alhambra in peace and avoid the crowds.
However, this is not always possible, but don't worry. The Alhambra is a very large complex with many outdoor areas, so the visit is very dynamic and enjoyable even when there are many people. You won't feel overwhelmed.
Is there free entry to the Alhambra?

Residents of Granada can visit the Alhambra for free at weekends. Thanks to the Provincial Council of Granada, every weekend there is a limited number of free tickets available to encourage visits by local residents, until capacity is reached.
You can check the conditions on the Patronato website. If you are not a resident of Granada, you will need to book a guided tour or tickets for the Alhambra.

Buy tickets for the Alhambra at the ticket office

If you decide to visit on your own and purchase your tickets for the Alhambra at the ticket office, you will have to go and buy them on the same day, subject to availability and only up to two hours before your visit, which may not fit in with your travel plans.
Given the great popularity of the Alhambra in Granada, it is very common for long queues to form at the ticket office and it is possible that tickets will be sold out by the time your turn comes.
In this case, you could try getting up early and arriving at the ticket office at 8 a.m. to try your luck. You may be able to get a spare ticket, although this is usually difficult, if not impossible.
Are the tickets nominative? Do I need to show my passport or ID card?

Yes. Tickets to the Alhambra are nominative, personal and non-transferable. For security and conservation reasons, each visitor is required to present their passport, ID card or original personal identification document issued by their country.
Alhambra staff carry out ID checks on visitors, so you must show your tickets and ID to access the monument.
To ensure your visit to the Alhambra goes smoothly, I recommend that you bring your ID card or passport and take a look at this guide with tips for visiting the Alhambra in Granada. Don't let anything spoil your visit!
How to get to the Alhambra

Getting to the Alhambra is not difficult and, as is always the case when you set out on foot in Granada, you will enjoy every street and every corner.
In addition, the entire complex is very well connected to the city centre, so you can not only get there on foot, but you can also choose to take a city bus or even the tourist train if you prefer (with children, this is undoubtedly the most fun option).
On the other hand, as in all cities, you can always take a taxi for greater convenience or even arrive with your own car if you prefer (the latter option is very convenient but not so practical, as you will have to pay for parking). I'll tell you all about it here: how to get to the Alhambra.
Can I visit the Alhambra with children?

Of course you can visit the Alhambra in Granada with children! The Alhambra and its legends captivate young and old alike and it is a visit suitable for the whole family.
The guides are used to having children in their groups, and if you want to give them some background information about what they are going to see before you arrive, they will understand it much better and will be delighted with the tour.
Remember to wear (and make sure they wear) comfortable shoes and, above all, protect them from the heat if you are visiting during the hottest months of the year. Otherwise, you have nothing to worry about. Enjoy!
