About this activity

Step into a fairytale world of Moorish palaces, serene gardens, and centuries of captivating history at the Alhambra, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that attracts over 2.6 million visitors every year.

This full-day guided tour from Malaga offers you a hassle-free way to experience one of Europe's most breathtaking architectural masterpieces without the stress of planning transportation or securing sold-out tickets.

Built in the 13th century as the royal court of the Nasrid Dynasty, the Alhambra is a breathtaking testament to Islamic art and architecture. Your expert guide will lead you through the main areas of the monument that have enchanted visitors for 700 years.

If you book the Full Tour option, you will visit the Nasrid Palaces (our most popular choice!), the crown jewel of the Alhambra, the mesmerizing Court of the Lions with its iconic fountain

Please note that, depending on your tour option, the Nasrid Palaces might not be included.
