Alhambra
The Moorish palace-fortress overlooking Granada, its Nasrid Palaces covered in intricate stucco and tilework — tickets are timed and limited daily, so book weeks (in peak season, months) ahead.
Generalife Gardens
The Alhambra's summer palace and gardens, with courtyards of fountains, cypress hedges, and roses — usually visited as part of the same Alhambra ticket.
Albaicín
Granada's old Moorish quarter, a UNESCO-listed maze of whitewashed lanes climbing the hill opposite the Alhambra — get lost deliberately, it's the point.
Mirador San Nicolás
The single best viewpoint of the Alhambra with the Sierra Nevada mountains behind it, especially at sunset — arrive early for a spot, it gets crowded.
Sacromonte
A hillside neighbourhood of cave dwellings, historically home to Granada's Roma community — several caves now host authentic flamenco (zambra) performances in the evening.
Cathedral and Royal Chapel
A Renaissance cathedral built over Granada's main mosque after the Reconquista, with the Royal Chapel next door holding the tombs of Ferdinand and Isabella.
