Step by Step

Discover the Nasrid Palaces of the Alhambra in Granada, one of Spain’s most visited monuments, on this guided night tour in Spanish. You’ll take part in a tour lasting around two hours by moonlight. This palace was built during the Nasrid dynasty in the 14th century and is considered one of the finest examples of Islamic architecture in the world. It is situated atop a hill, where you’ll enjoy spectacular views of Granada as well as a refreshing breeze from the River Darro and the Sierra Nevada.

It is worth noting that the Alhambra was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1984 and, as it is one of Spain’s main attractions, it is advisable to book in advance, as it is a must-see for any lover of Islamic art.

The tour follows the route of the Alhambra’s ancient defensive wall. Once inside, you can admire the Palace of Charles V, a Renaissance building whose style contrasts with the rest of the complex.

The guide will then lead you to the Nasrid Palaces, where you’ll see such unforgettable sights as the Throne Room, the Hall of the Abencerrajes and the Hall of the Two Sisters. As you wander through its rooms and intricate corridors, you’ll discover all its secrets and the legends it harbours, making for an unforgettable experience. To round off the tour, you’ll be able to admire the iconic Fountain of the Lions in the moonlight.

The night lends the Alhambra a beautiful atmosphere. I would have liked to spend more time in some of the courtyards, but the tour was very well organised.

I really liked the tone of the tour – serious yet friendly. You get a much better understanding of the fortress’s history when someone explains the context to you.

A very good experience. The small group meant we could ask questions and move around without feeling rushed. I recommend bringing a light jacket, depending on the evening.

The guide, Laura, was excellent: she knew an awful lot and didn’t just stick to dates; she also talked about symbols and architectural details.
