Reserva antes de ir
Alhambra tickets need to be purchased well in advance
This is the official Alhambra website: https://tickets.alhambra-patronato.es/en/. If the regular tickets are sold out, I recommend the 7-8 Euro ticket option - it includes most of the palaces in the Alhambra complex but one. Please let us know if you need more help or advice planning your holiday.
