| Granada boasts the famous Alhambra palace, the cobbled streets of the Moorish quarter and the spectacular backdrop of the snow-capped Sierra Nevada mountains. The main reason for most people to visit Granada is the Alhambra palace. This massive collection of 14th and 15th century Moorish palaces and gardens is set on a hilltop overlooking the rest of the city. |

But note that the Alhambra Palace is so popular that visitor numbers are restricted. With most tickets sold-out at least a week in advance, we would strongly recommend that you book your tickets before even arriving in Spain! See www.alhambradegranada.org for details on how to buy tickets online. |
| The old Moorish quarter of the city is also a huge tourist draw. The narrow cobbled streets have barely changed in over 600 years. And it is worth climbing to the Church of San Nicholas for the stunning views of the Alhambra palace and its gardens. If you book in advance, you could also try the amazing Hammam Arabic Baths |
