When you’re in Granada, make sure not to miss the impressive Palacio de Generalife on your visit to the Alhambra. The palace is the former summer residence of the Sultans of Granada, and together with its gardens, it has been part of the Alhambra’s UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1984. Tickets are available in combination with the Alhambra and can be booked online in advance to avoid long lines.

The Perfect Route
If you’re planning to visit the Alhambra, the Alcazaba, and the Generalife on the same day then you should start your tour in the gardens of the Generalife. It’s the most efficient way to see everything on foot without a guide.
4
Enjoy the Shade
When the heat of the Andalusian summer becomes too much to bear, the water features and pavilions of the Generalife’s gardens offer a shady alternative to the other courtyards. You should also make sure to pack plenty of water, sunscreen, and a hat to avoid getting sunstroke.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the ticket options at the Generalife?

Read more.How long should I plan for a trip?
As a trip to the Generalife usually includes a visit to the Alhambra, Nasrid Palaces, and the Alcazaba, you should expect to spend at least three to four hours exploring. If you’re planning to take a guided tour or you’re extremely interested in the history of the palaces then you should plan at least half a day for your trip.

Overall, a large part of the gardens can be visited by wheelchair users. The paths that cross the Alhambra and Generalife complex include some that are specially designed for wheelchair users and visitors with mobility problems. However, the Generalife palace isn’t accessible as its entrance features steps rather than a ramp. There are disabled bathrooms at the main entrance and near the Puerta del Vino.
