Beautiful in every area you walk. Shows how the Muslims architecture was there most advanced at the time. Detailed writings carved beautifully throughout the palace. The gardens were amazing to walk through and the fountains were very nice with water running through the marble floors which was like cooled floors! I would go there again and I'm sure to see new things.

Truly beautiful with water gardens, fountains, courtyards, mosaics and stunning architecture. Incredibly well preserved and accessible albeit located on a hill so quite physically challenging for those with disabilities. parking is locally available and close to the site and the guided tours are well worth considering as there is so much history. Takes a minimum of 3-4 hours to enjoy fully so plan a full day and enjoy some lunch break in-between. Mid summer can be very hot and there is limited shade so be sure to use sunblock and consider taking a parasol.

Not only is this one of the most beautiful human made structures I have ever seen. It is also a remarkable heritage that holds century old stories through several civilizations. I personally loved the architectural richness and the visual representations representations and ancient (sacred geometry like) patterns sculpted in the walls. Book your tickets in advance for a chance to visit this place that is just out of this world! It may feel a bit busy in some areas, so if you don’t like crowds, try to go early in the morning.

I'm surprised that anyone would have anything negative to say about this place. Yes, you have to reserve your tickets ahead of time and yes they will check your ticket at several checkpoints throughout the visit, but this place is absolutely MAJESTIC. It is one of the most beautiful displays of art and architecture I have ever seen. The structure and art are pristinely kept and the visit is very organized. I recommend reading about it before your visit you can truly understand the value of this building and everything about it. Rich in history, rich in details, rich in everything. Don't miss it. Reserve your tickets at least one month in advance, but you can do it way ahead of that. What a beautiful experience!

We booked our tickets 3 months in advance as the visits are limited, and only visits with a tour guide are allowed. It's a fascinating, magical place, full of history, considered one of the most famous monuments of Islamic architecture and one of the best-preserved palaces in the historic Islamic world, in addition to containing notable examples of Spanish Renaissance architecture. It’s good to see but does it worth all the trouble to get in, I’m not sure. Our tour guide was funny and enthusiastic, yet he persisted in naming it the most beautiful spot on earth, revealing at the end that he didn't see elsewhere.

A Place Of Pure History It's Like Going Back In Time. You Need A Good Entire Day To Do All The Palaces. Highly Recommended To Do All Of The Palaces. Buy tickets in advance also don't forget you must bring your passport as evidence to get in.

This place is magical! I had been there a couple times and it is breathtaking. Seriously, you can't get enough of it. I strongly recommended walking up to it and back down to and from downtown Granada through the national park between the Alhambra and the town, such a beautiful hike!

Great experience. Plan on at least three hours here. There are many things to see and experience. The general life gardens were our favorite. We came in March, it was cold but we still enjoyed it.

Awesome place and definitely the place to go in your visit to Granada. Don’t do like me and get the tickets in advance with a minimum of one month at least. You can be there more than 2 hours for sure. Try to avoid heat hours in summer.

Immense. I have no idea why the place I’d named Generalife. Sounds like a crackpot pill being sold my a Trump pilot fish on Fox News in America. I think it refers to the grounds of Alhambra. I enjoyed the grounds more than the castles and museums. I spend summers riding through Europe on motorcycles and I’ve overdosed on castles and museums. I love the traveling and the natural beauty. The grounds are pretty nice. Formal. It would be nicer if they would identify the more spectacular plantings. In Spanish, English, and the proper botanical Latin. When I see places like this I become uncomfortably and acutely aware that all great empires were built on slave labor. It all winds up in and as museums.

What I loved most about the Generalife was the seamless integration of nature and architecture. The gardens are thoughtfully designed to enhance the experience of the surrounding palaces, creating a harmonious and calming environment. The sweeping views of the Alhambra and the city of Granada from the Generalife added to the overall sense of wonder and appreciation for this remarkable historical site.

Nice gardens but it is too crowded to enjoy, even with drizzle on the day packed with people trying to all get the same picture and just standing still in entrance ways to get their pictures. Least favourite part of the Alhambra.

Best time of the year for many of the flowering plants. Roses are exquisite. Intricate patterns of flower combinations. Vistas of Barrio Albaicin across the valley.

This shouldn't be missed if you are visiting the Alhambra in Granada! This gorgeous buildimg and gardens are a perfect destination to learn about the Islamic past of southern Spain. If you can visit in the spring, the gardens are spectacular!

Light and airy and sitting on top of a hill, this beautiful palace has some of the most memorable gardens that I've seen anywhere. Elegantly understated, with simple but gorgeous water fountains and water running literally all over the place, this summer palace overlooks the older palaces of Alhambra, the Albaicin neighborhood and the valley beyond. The perspectives are to die for. No matter in which direction you look, there will be an infinite number of beautiful shots waiting for you. While the Nasrid Palaces will impress you with architecture, this palace's gardens are its main attraction. Choose a beautiful sunny day. Try to get there early in the morning - it opens at 8:30 - to avoid the huge crowds, especially during the summer.

Free entrance, I recommend going there separate from Alhambra or after all palaces with the paid entrance. In March there weren't too many plants so as a garden it wasn't impressive. It does have a few nice views over the city but I'm glad I didn't have to pay for entrance, expected much more from it.

IMPORTANT: There are quite a few checks for passport and your ticket in this area. Make sure to bring these with you or else they’ll deny you entrance. Would highly recommend purchasing tickets in advance. A beautiful garden amongst the old fortresses and walls. I would advise to visit these areas in the earlier parts of the day, ideally before noon as that’s when the rush begins to settle in. I had a great time with my family and this part of the tour took about an hour to complete with lots of photography spots along the way.

Part of the Alhambra Palace tour taking in breathtaking gardens and the summer Palace. Magnificent.

It was a wonderful walk, even through it was raining. Great views, totally recommend it

Gorgeous grounds to walk through, so peaceful. Beautiful views!

Generalife was my favorite place. Absolutely stunning, it is a beautiful symphony of nature and ancient architecture.

What is it about our fascination with walking through tombs of deceased persons not related to us and even paying for the opportunity? As tombs go, the Royal Chapel of Granada was definitely above average and perhaps even impressive. The remains of the Spanish Catholic Monarchs are housed therein. Since the King and Queen were clearly involved in the planning prior to death, it was interesting to see how they eventually fashioned themselves in death.

Absolutely beautiful and something you won’t want to miss. The intricacy of detail involved in carving the marble was truly impressive. This experience inspired me to learn more about the reign of King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella. Oh, be prepared to be stopped by different women handing out sage and telling your fortune at every corner around this chapel!

It’s a nice place to visit, although I did not understand too much on the history, but it looks amazing.

Very nice visit to this Chapel, with a brilliant little museum at the end. Great value, and a great way to have a little break from the heat in the city Centre. No photos allpwed inside, but they have a lovely little gift shop at the end for post cards and souvenirs.

Art, artifacts, history, religion and culture - you get it all here. It was slightly crowded when I went but it might be because it's a public holiday today (Assumption of Mary). Note that no photos allowed and in many ways, it is lovely not to have to dodge people taking photos and we can all just enjoy what's around us. It doesn't take more than 15 minutes unless you listen attentively to the audio guide.

Here you can find masterpieces of the Prado Museum and Dutch masters of painting, an amazing gilded iconostasis and marble tombs of Spanish Kings and Queens. Magical place

6 euro entry. Definitely one of my favorite visits in Granada. Intricate tombs of the king and queen. Worthy of 30-45 minutes.

There are a couple of coffins here. I suppose it was Isabel la Catolica, Ferdinand, and their kids(?) The building is big and there are many paintings, and sculptures, as well as rope, cape, and crown and everything revolves around Isabel and the royal family of Spain from back then. Nice place to visit but you have to be respectful and quiet during your visit!

I have been to the Royal Chapel three times and each time the experience has been special and spectacular. To see the see the tomb of the Catholic Kings (Isabel y Fernando) was fantastic. No video or photos are allowed therefore, I have none to upload.. Highly recommend for all to go there

As Marta, our guide from Walk in Granada, said, this Church, The Royal Chapel was more significant than the great Cathedral itself and therefore delayed the Cathedral building which already took too long.. It is definitely impressive inside and you should visit it.

I was genuinely impressed with this chapel and everything it houses. The marble mausoleums are so beautifully made and well kept. I love the richness of the history that these structures carry. The altarpieces are so intricate and captivating, it's hard to peel yourself off these beautiful pieces. No photos are allowed inside the actual chapel, but everything is etched in my mind. The museum portion of it is just as fascinating. It's incredible to see the crowns, scepters and robes worn by the king and queen themselves. Truly incredible.

This took a while to find and we had to ask at the cathedral in the end (left and left again as you go out of the cathedral entrance!) . The chapel contains the burial crypt of Ferdinand and Isabella plus Philip II and Joanna the Mad. No photos were allowed which was a real shame as there was some genuinely decent post Islamic marble carvings on the tombs. All info was audio guide only, as seems usual in Granada (and I completely understand why but it is still frustrating). The chapel was worth a 10 minute visit.

Fabulous and fascinating. The history is rich, and the art and sculptures are stunning. The architecture makes you wonder how this could have been built when it was. One can easily spend a couple of hours here and the entrance fee is modest. Even our teenage kids were mesmerized by the Royal Chapel. An absolute “must-see” when in Granada. Note that it is very difficult to find parking downtown Granada, so avoid taking the car and use the convenient tourist buses instead.

Great Presentation imagine standing next to Isabella and Ferdinand. Who sanctioned the voyages of Christopher Columbus. Great presentations in a quiet Chapel relative to the size of it's immediate neighbor.

IF you buy tickets online you still need to stay for 30 minutes in queue with people that dont have tickets. There is one person checking the tickets. Terrible

Incredibly beautiful place. The free phone audioguide (via an app downloaded by the front desk via the free Wifi) is incredibly detailed and helpful to understand the history and sites. Whilst photos are not allowed- with no clear explanation why- I snuck some. Dinging one star for the no photo policy. I bought a ticket under the multipass option: this, the cathedral, two monasteries, for €17.

Very impressive piece of history. The audio guide takes you back in history, the upcoming Royal family and the battles against Mores. No pictures or filming allowed inside. What seems logic out of respect of the Royal family. Behind the Cathedral there is the entrance. In a beautiful historical little street.

Great and interesting. Might seem small but the story behind it is very interesting. Definitely would recommend audioguide

River side walk

(Translated by Google) In Cuenca we are very used to walking through similar places. Sorry, I wasn't impressed. (Original) En Cuenca estamos muy acostumbrados a pasear por sitios similares. Lo siento, no me impresionó.

I like having a walk here

Such a stunning bridge with beautiful views!

Beautiful promenada around the Alhambra Palace, ruined only by the hundreds of minibuses, taxis and motorbikes speeding between the turists.

Cool, happening place.

Beautiful street with colorful buildings

Beautiful. Kept coming back to it. Thousands of people from all over. Right there at Plaza Nueva, near Plaza Isabel Catolica, and Gran via de Colon. The Cathedral is 5 minutes away. In the foot of the Alhambra, sort of. So, walking a bit up the street you can catch a nice view of it. So many nice little bars and restaurants of all sorts all around. Such a lively area, just like most of this part of Granada. Loved it.

Enormous science park, very educational for all age groups, you can spend the whole day here with family friends. They have paid shows about birds and a biosphere with sea and land animals. A lot of different outdoor sections as well for kids to interact with installations , enjoy and learn

A wonderful visit with shout outs for the Planetarium and the Bio world. So much to see that you probably need at least five hours. Fair price and lots of interesting rooms though the massive room filled with energy and global warming info is so boring. Lots of kids which is great and one particularly nasty family who kept being allowed to push in and granny even answered her phone during the visit to the universe in the planetarium.

We enjoyed it very much. Easy to get to from the center of the city by bus (bus number 33). The bio domo was great as well and it cost a few extra euros but was worth it. Did get the chance to go to the observation tower but we'll make sure to do that next time we're there, it looked like fun!

とても広く、見て回るのに6、7時間かかりましたがそれでも最後は駆け足でした。 特に水族館と動物園はオススメです。 一部展示が重複していたり、ボタン操作で作動する展示のボタンが壊れて作動しなかったりということは気になりました。 (Translated by Google) It was very large and it took us 6 or 7 hours to see it all, but it was still a rush in the end. Aquariums and zoos are especially recommended. I was concerned that some of the exhibits were duplicated, and that some exhibit buttons that were activated by button presses were broken and did not work.

This place will blow your mind The science park/museum of Granada was a great experience. Theirs plenty of exhibits and interactive experiments you can do that will keep you entertained and wanting to see and learn more. Robots, biology and medicine, physics, astronomy, and animals. Even if you are not too interested in science, the biodome offers a fun visual experience of seeing exotic animals up close. From sharks, jellyfish, alligators, snakes, monkeys and birds. Outside of the main museum and into the park offers more interactive thing you can do (like activities with water and about energy) and a few other buildings you can enter; for example, the planetarium or the observatory. The staff are nice and friendly and (the ones I have spoke with) were able to speak English to various degrees of fluency If you are planning a trip here, give yourself plenty of time if you want to experience the whole museum. I would say atleast 3+hrs as this place is massive with all the things to see, read, watch, and do in the exhibits and outside the building. But if you are making a quick stop to see only one exhibit, I would recommend the biodome as it offers a unique, cool, close up experience with exotic animals. Note: observation tower was closed during my visit (February 2022)

Fun with learning for both adults and kids. Loved how the human body is explained. My young son loved the Animals. Older kids had fun in the space part including Astronaut suits and food

Great place for adults and kids . Our 4 years old son really enjoyed. Perfect break from Granada historic walks and sightseeing. Easy 3-4 hours, plenty to do and see and touch :-) All descriptions are in spanish and english. Reasonable restaurant, great that there are lockers. However Biodomo is more for older children.

This park contains a lot different kind of of exhibits, some are pop-ups, some always there. Robotics 2.0 was great, very interesting. Biopark is always a hit with the fish, sharks, birds and others. Recommend to visit and the price is very good.

A great meeting place with science for children and adults! There is a lot of interactive activities for children, and very detailed exhibits from history and modern times for adults. Comprehensive exposure to science and technology. In any weather (indoor and outdoor spaces). Available at a price. Tickets can be purchased online. It's easy to find a free parking space. Such places simply must be in modern cities. Thank you for having this!

We had a superb day out with plenty to look at and enjoy in this amazing venue. Great planetarium and lovely staff. Kids love this place but also so much to look at for adults. You can spend hours here and still not see everything

This is a fantastic place! My wife and I set out to go to the biodome and ended up spending another 2+ hours perusing other displays including the mariposerio, and the human body, energy transition, and wild animal exhibits. All are very well constructed. One could easily spend a whole day at the science park. If kids whose parents let them behave as if they're at a playground when they're actually at a museum bother you, you might consider going on a weekday.

What a great place to visit! We ended up there on a Sunday when the museum closes earlier and that's the only complaint we had - the time was not enough. I was impressed by the part dedicated to safety, definitely something I haven't seen anywhere else. It's a great place for children, but also for adults, you can wander for hours. The biodome is a beautiful thing to visit, even though it's small, it's basically a closed zoo.

Wonderful visit! The attractions were wonderful, with most of the attractions being written in English alongside Spanish. The staff were very helpful and gave advice on where to go first. The museum was definitely a FULL DAY activity (I spent 6 hrs at the museum). A couple things to keep in mind before coming: 1. The planetarium is only available in Spanish 2. The cost that is mentioned on google maps (€2.5) is only for the planetarium. The tickets for each area (museum, biodome, and planetarium) are all separate. To go to all sections it is €13.50 as of now 3. There are lockers that cost €1 but you get the coin back. Very helpful if your a tourist and your carrying a lot Overall, this place was a wonderful tourist spot and wasn’t to busy so it was a good experience!

Great for educational purposes. The WOW exhibition did give us a WOW factor. The space exhibition was also very interesting and comprehensive. However, the Food Prints exhibition was a letdown. Overall, it was a great experience to spend a couple of hours there.

Definitely a place worth visiting. Their bio domo or a quasi indoor zoo is the highlight. Liked the astronomy section a little and the animal Kingdom a bit. Then the accident and the AI section looks quite stretched. Don’t opt for planetarium coz it’s all in Spanish. English not available. Good if you are interested in animals and science. Else skip.

Amazing

Museum is 5 stars. Organization and staff not so much. Amount of times I showed my passport at border control when entering Spain: 1 Amount of times I showed my passport to the staff when visiting the museum: 3 LOL just LOL And a member of the staff showed us the wrong entrance to the palace and we nearly missed our reserved time waiting in line for another exhibit. Visitor beware.

Amazing collection of Islamic art and beautifully curated and displayed.

The Alhambra and the Generalife gardens are the 8th wonder of the world! An experience to be on your once in life bucket list.

This part of the Alhambra can be visited for free. The museum was a nice surprise. Lots of interesting artefacts. Also its quite big.

Fascinating collection of artifacts and a perfect compliment to conclude a visit to the palaces and the gardens. Two stars only because we were told we couldn’t take pictures inside. How come? What a disappointment! Some of the objects were quite mesmerizing to look at. Shall we commit the images to memory? And it was not about the use of flash. We didn’t want to use flash. The instructions were “no photos”. That’s the kind of thing you do for theater performances for example not museums.

You must like art, otherwise is very very boring. The gardens are nice

Only downside is that it doesn’t allow photos and the guards are very strict

Interesting display of old moorish artefacts, no photos allowed

This is a don't miss stop. The church is beautiful even if it is a little gawdy. The audio guide was excellent, and would be impossible to understand everything without it. I have been in hundreds of European churches and this is one of the most interesting. You are allowed up to the second level, which was filled with more treasures including bones and skulls of various priests. This is a don't miss stop in Granada.

The basilica is stunning and impressive, and the audio guide really helped me understand its history. What is special about this place is that you can go up to the second floor, where they have lots of interesting artifacts and relics. This basilica is a great example of the Baroque style. However, I am not sure if The Mystery Man exhibition was appropriate within the basilica or if it added any further understanding to the history of the basílica. While the virtual reality experience was interesting, the quality and resolution of the video were poor and could be improved for a better experience. There is plenty to see in this basilica. It is definitely worth a visit.

Stunning, preferred this to the cathedral. Particularly enjoyed being able to walk around the upstairs part. Also, the lemon trees in the courtyard were nice.

I was blown away with the art and the precious artifacts here. Absolutely breathtaking when you first walk in there and Gods presence was strong.so beautiful, so exquisite the art they have there. A place to reflect and contemplate in pure silence. Lots to see and absolutely mind blowing. Worth a visit

This basilica is the most stunning one I have ever seen, ornate to the last detail. A must see when visiting Granada. The admission includes 5-10min 3D virtual reality headset viewing.

A small cathedral that will leave you speechless. The gold and woodwork that is in this church is impressive. It left a much larger impression on me that many of the bigger churches I’ve been to. The work and wealth put into a minor church is well worth the journey.

The cost for me to enter was 7 euros. You purchase your tickets inside at the counter. The ticket included an audio guide and entrance to a few other places on subsequent days. It also included a light show inside the basilica. I was only able to spend about an hour inside due to other plans, so I didn't use those offers. The audio guide I used was in English, and it was very clear and detailed. The signs inside the basilica are clearly marked for you to follow a path that tells a story. Not only do you get to see the basilica from the ground level, but you also get to go upstairs to look at the space from the balconies. It has a small gift shop, a clean restroom, and a garden outside that you can relax in. I highly recommend visiting. It's unlike any other religious building I've visited.

That place is stunning. A must visit. So golden and decorated.. With very special passages (behind the altar). Plus the incredible mystique man art

Decided on a whim to go to the Basílica; wow. Did not disappoint. The intricacies and the shear volume of religious relics is amazing. 10/10 highly recommend

Wonderful! Inspired architecture. This Basicilica is a snapshot in time. When it was built to venerate man of humility with an ornate building. Some cool creepy bones and skulls from saints. Just a wonderful contrast that exists in all of us.

A baroque church, 1700’s, next to a hospital of that time, honouring the city’s patron.

Spectacular. I am not usually a church person but the Basilica has more wow than I was expecting. For a few euro you get an experience you will not forget. Audio recording included to step you through the history.

Wow, what an elaborately decorated basilica. This church allows you the opportunity to get into many rooms normally shut off to the public. They have a virtual reality setup for you to further understand the architectural significance of the structure. This is included with the entrance fee. Don't miss it. Consider spending at least 1 hour.

Highly recommend coming here on your visit to Granada. For only 6 euro you get a free extensive audio guide and VR experience. The staff are lovely and it's nice and cool inside the Basilica. Religious or not you cannot help but to admire this beautiful place. There is so much to see here give yourself an hour. There's not many places like this that you get to go upstairs and see the ceilings and dome better than anywhere else!!!

I don't know that I've ever really reviewed a Basilica before. It was crazy (sorry... it's just a fitting word) and worth the visit. It isn't large and doesn't take long to visit. The audio guide was purposeful. I rarely follow along. I stayed with it the entirety of the sequence. The details were very interesting.

Charles V was the grandson of Ferdinand and Isabella who captured the city from the Moors in 1492. His palace was a total contrast to the Moorish buildings; where they were graceful and delicate this building was a brutal dog, marking its territory on the Islamic Alhambra. The exterior was particularly ugly and the interior marginally better, with 2 levels of circular collonades. There was very little ornamentation so we actually spent around 5 minutes there. We did visit the archeology museum on the ground floor before leaving though and that was excellent, with information on the Visigothic and Muslim kingdoms of Spain and trade, money and culture. A lot of information was in English and there were some fabulous exhibits.

The quickest thing to see at the Alhambra. There’s an art museum inside if interested

This Renaissance style palace was constructed by Charles V after the Reconquista. It is mesmerizing to view the perfectly circular inner structure, and the uniformity of the pillars and arches. A nice place to spend a half an hour.

An amazing garden, which we visited almost accidentally. Well worth it.

The structure is interesting. If you are visiting Alhambra, you can spend a few more minutes in this palace.

excellent experience. The wall works are wonderful. Watching the walls takes you back to ancient times. Specially there are handles on the wall. In addition, fine workmanship has also been applied to the wooden doors. We entered with a ticket, but this area may be free. It's a nice place to take photos in front of it. We visited on January 19, if there was no rain in the weather, it was a good visit date in terms of low density. You can buy your tickets just above where the bus drops you off. We paid 18 EUR per person (as an adult). You can also see the city from here. Other sections can be entered by queuing in front of this building. You need to have your passport ready.

We only visited the Alhambra museum which was good but not exceptional. It is a free museum. If you have an audioguide, it is hard to find what number you should type in (starting from a 100). Takes about 45 minutes if you read/hear most of what is available.

located inside the Alhambra area, a more surprisingly quiet area. the collections were nice, a mixture of art and history exhibits are available. the structure itself is already worth visiting. must see if you’re coming to the Alhambra.

DO NOT COME ON MONDAY Alhambra is open on Monday but the museum and church is closed. It was great to see the palace and fortress. But it would have been nice to see the museum as well.

King Charles I of Spain, emperor of Germany and America, king of Holland and Italy, was possibly the most powerful man of his time. However this soulless building, somewhere between a Roman arena and a renaissance Florence palace, show how poor his taste on art was. It will be forever overshadowed by the next door masterpiece of Islamic art in Spain.

Very big palace with a distinguished architecture on the center of Alhambra. Make sure to go upstairs for great views and pictures

BE AWARE that the Museum is closed on Mondays! We didn't know and therefore couldn't visit it, bummer, a real loss. And...as I wrote in my other reviews, please do bring your ORIGINAL passports with you otherwise you'll be denied the entrance.

Cool palace with a nice little gift shop as well as a museum within. Definitely worth checking it out, it has a different feel than most because it was never actually inhabited by any royals!

Not too much to see here, the large circular patio, a museum and a modern art gallery. The columns and balustrade seem to be made of concrete with large stones in that has then been ground down and polished.

Beautiful place with free entrance. Amazing view outside the palace. But there are some ticket-needed area. Ticket reservation -- only offical website. Recommend to go. 👍👍👍

Don't miss it when in the Alhambra. Interesting construction and over 500 years of history.

No need for a ticket. You can just visit. Unless you want to see the museum. Which is closed on Mondays.. Why??? We come exactly one half day to Alhambra.. It should be the same service for all visitors. Do your cleaning at night. We want a discount

The building itself is lovely but overshadowed by others in the Al Hambra complex. There is an interesting museum; a small gallery with mostly early Christian art; and a beautiful tableux of ceramic figures. See the photos.

This Renaissance-style palace stands in stark contrast to the surrounding Moorish architecture, creating an intriguing blend of different artistic influences within the historic site. Built in the 16th century, the palace was commissioned by Emperor Charles V to serve as a symbol of his power and influence. The design, attributed to architect Pedro Machuca, showcases the Renaissance style that was popular in Europe at the time. The building's façade features classical elements such as Doric and Ionic columns, as well as a grand circular courtyard at its center. As you enter the palace, you'll be greeted by the impressive rotunda, which is open to the sky and surrounded by two levels of colonnaded galleries. The circular shape and open-air design create a unique atmosphere, offering a sense of harmony and tranquility. Inside the palace, you'll find two museums: the Museo de la Alhambra, which houses a collection of Islamic art and artifacts, and the Museo de Bellas Artes, which displays a selection of Spanish art from various periods.

The rather stark, maybe even obscene, difference between the actual interior and decor of the monastery versus the monastery's church was vividly noticeable. While I admittedly do not purport to understand most of the reasons, I can appreciate the underlying logic and fundamentals. The stark simplicity of the humble monastery surrounds was clearly juxtaposed with the gaudy, pretentious display of wealth in its church. I am never quite sure when viewing similar attractions worldwide that openly promoting such differences is sending quite the right message. However, both the modest nature of the monastery and the one cloister open to public viewing, as well as the striking church interior were impressive in their own ways.

So I at first was REALLY annoyed with this place, as unlike the three other spots I went to earlier that day with a combined ticket, this place did NOT have free Wifi to download the app audioguide. Rather a locked network showed and the grouchy staff member claimed there was no Wifi password for me to use. My phone data wasn’t working which meant I wandered annoyed with NO info anywhere on what I was seeing. I was ready to give this place totally negative reviews as before you reach the STUNNING chapel, the rest of the rooms to visit are mediocre. But my god, the chapel. WOW. I bought a ticket under the multipass option: this, the cathedra and chapel, and another monastery, for €17.

The architecture of this church is amazing. It was completed in 1522. It has so many nice sculptures that I realized that I needed to learn a lot about the history of Granada and the church. I believe it’s a must see place in Granada. You need to check the open time before you go. Admission ticket is very reasonable.

The man on the ticket booth is totally unhelpful and the audioguide is only available via an app which you have to download and it doesn't actually open so you just have to wander around. One of the cloisters was closed, as was the upper floor. It's very plain and you wonder why you have spent 5 euros .... until you go into the main church and you are treated to an absolutely spectacular space filled with original painted walls and sculptures. It is nothing short of stupendous.

What I loved with this visit is the audio guide downloaded via a QR code just inside the entrance. I discovered so much by taking my time and listening. The city of Granada has so many hidden gems. I will return.

This is the first religious building built after the conquest of Granada. I do find these buildings difficult as I really don't like the Islamic mindset but their buildings are fabulously airy and delicate and this monastery is very baroque, dark, gaudy and oppressive. I want to prefer it to Islamic architecture but I really can't. Most of the monastery was undecorated and surprisingly plain, even the cloisters. However one room was a real riot of colour and decorated to excess. In an era of minimal literacy the stories displayed through the statues and paintings here must have been fabulous to see. We spent about 20 minutes here.

In most cities this would score a 5 star rating, but in the city with the Alhambra it has to be relative. The monetary itself is a nice quiet visit in charming old buildings, but what really gets the score up is the beautiful church in the monetary, certainly worth a visit. It costs 4 euro per person to get it and despite having visited it in August it was not crowded at all.

We almost missed this hidden gem 💎. If we were to only visit one monastery or cathedral it would be this place. Great architecture and art in every room. A must see. €10 euros for two people is well worth it in my opinion.

Came here because of the granada pass. The only place worth visiting is the chapel with the amazing ceiling and altar pieces. However the ticket man was quite unfriendly and when I asked for the toilets he said theres no toilet for visitors. We also cannot tour the seocnd floor which would have given us a good view of the orchards. Visit here if u have spare time.

Wonderful monastery with a fantastic church! I liked it even better than the cathedral of Granada. I haven’t seen such wonderfully decorated church since the Vatican! The altar with the bible depictions („people’s bible“), every single wall and ceiling piece beautifully painted, the inner courtyard with the orange trees, a marvel. It‘s a bit hidden in the northern part of Granada but please pay it a visit! You will regret it if not! 😉

By the time I visited San Jeronimo, I was feeling a bit tired of all the beautiful cathedrals, churches, palaces and alcazars, but I decided to go. I was very glad I did. It was very beautiful and older than the La Cartuja, which was my other choice. San Jeronimo is well worth visiting.

Le cloître d’oranger est très joli mais ce que l’on retient de ce superbe monastère c’est surtout son église renaissance superbement décorée ! Vous pouvez prendre vos billets en même temps que pour la cathédrale en ligne (Translated by Google) The orange cloister is very pretty but what we remember about this superb monastery is above all its superbly decorated Renaissance church! You can buy your tickets at the same time as the cathedral online

One of the most beautiful churches in Europe. The admission of 5€ is worth to support world heritage. All the gold of the main altar is definitely stolen from Nuevo Mundo. Chanting nuns live in the convent.

Très déçu par cette visite L'église mérite d'être vue, mais le reste du bâtiment, qui présente une architecture plutôt banale est sans intérêt. Le site est austère et le temps de visite est très rapide (15 minutes suffisent pour tout voir). Ce qui en fait la visite horaire la plus chère de Grenade. (Translated by Google) Very disappointed with this visit The church is worth seeing, but the rest of the building, which has a rather banal architecture, is of no interest. The site is austere and the visit time is very quick (15 minutes is enough to see everything). Making it the most expensive hourly tour in Granada.

One of the most famous Jeronimous is in Lisbon maybe. However in my sight, Granada is more beautiful and many things to do inside. It also just prayer place where yhe sisters are still live, but they have many beautiful arts and special things. Garden is great. The most beautiful part is church. You will surpirse on its wonderful paintings on the ceiling and wall. I suggest you to buy combine ticket with other catholic place in Granada. That ticket is much mucb cheaper.

Hidden gem, much nicer than the Cathedral. Totally worth the visit.

Incredible monastery that's definitely worth visiting if you're in the area. Free motorhome parking at the train station. The views are fantastic. Lots to see and food and drink available in the restaurants.

Historical site in front of Alhambra city! Great environment and beautiful place to eat!

Sitio para pasear tranquilamente, con vistas a la Alhambra, en verano hace mucho fresquito por el rio (Translated by Google) A place to walk quietly, with views of the Alhambra, in summer it is very cool by the river

Nice place to walk around

Buen paseo con encanto (Translated by Google) Good walk with charm

amazing views of the alhambra from below

Its a beautiful place, lots to see, lots to eat cheap and good.

Great views of alhambra and nice walking area

Lovely little sun trap to enjoy the view of the river and Alcazaba

Really beautiful and next to the river where you can go down and sit.

Getting into river at hot summer is the perfect choice for passengers. The water is so cool and beers sound great in this place

This monastery is really impressive. It is not far from the city centre, and you can easily get there by bus, which takes less than 15 minutes. For me, it is one of the most beautiful monasteries I have seen. There is a lot to see and take in. The audio guide they provide is great, giving you lots of interesting information. And honestly, the photos speak for themselves. It is definitely worth a visit if you are in Granada.

One of the most stunning baroque churches I have ever visited! Must see in Granada. I liked the interior so much. Bus stop directly in front of the monastery. I recommend the combined ticket with other monuments and places in Granada. (Visited Aug 22)

Very beautiful place to visit. Please note the opening hours, especially on weekends. Buildings are full of beautiful decorations and the sacristy is the most beautiful I have ever had the pleasure of visiting. Go see that!

The monastery itself is absolutely beautiful. The paintings are stunning, and the courtyard is beautifully designed. The staff isn't the friendliest though, especially if you don't speak Spanish

Absolutely beautiful interior, which you wouldn’t expect from seeing the exterior. There is free parking outside the monastery. Tickets are €5, and it’s absolutely worth it.

A bit distant from the town centre, but definitely worth the visit, especially as it is very quiet and nice to enjoy. The church is loaded with details to see. The sacristy is very beautiful, and considered by the monastery the most beautiful in the world; which is hard to challenge: the use of light and art and architecture makes you feel peace and wonder around every corner. In my opinion this place is a must visit while in Granada.

It’s a bit out of the way but it’s one of the places you can get a ticket combo to visit. Good audio guide.

Although a bit faraway from the city centre, it is worth coming here. The interior is very beautiful especially the chapel. There isnt a lot of tourists compared to the other sights so u can spend a lot of time there. Would be better if we are allowed access up to the second floor to take pictures of the orangerie.

It was worth a visit and the price was fair. It is far from the city center, but there is a direct bus connection. I would not put it on top of my to-do list, but a nice one if you have free time that you want to fill.

Incredibly beautiful place plus photos allowed! The free phone audioguide (via an app downloaded by the front desk via the free Wifi) is incredibly detailed and helpful to understand the history and sites. I bought a ticket under the multipass option: this, the cathedral and Capilla, and one more monastery, for €17.

Amazing monastery! Glittering and Full of relics! Spent couple of hours with peace. The shop of the monastery has beautiful materials too.
