Alhambra Guided Tour & Albaicin Tour from Seville

Visit Granada and the Alhambra (if option selected) on this full-day tour from Seville. Skip the line at Alhambra Palace on your guided tour that includes Nasrid Palace, Alcazabar, and Generalife Gardens(if option selected). Your guide will share the history of the area along the way. If the option is selected, finish with a walking tour of Albaicin, the city’s whitewashed Moorish quarter.
If option selected, explore the surroundings of the Alhambra on your own, taking in the lush greenery and fountains, see ancient towers and stunning views of Granada. Along the way, you’ll discover hidden paths, shaded by cypress trees, and admire the contrasting architecture of the Charles V Palace.

The Albaicín (Spanish pronunciation: [alβai̯ˈθin]) or Albayzín (Arabic: ٱلْبَيّازِينْ‎) as it was known under Muslim rule, is a district of Granada, in the autonomous community of Andalusia, Spain. It retains the narrow winding streets of its Medieval Moorish past dating back to the Nasrid Kingdom of Granada. It was declared a World Heritage Site in 1984, along with the Alhambra.

In this famous and peculiar neighbourhood you will have free time for yourself, one hour and a half approximately. Here you can go for lunch, shopping or simply strolling the streets.

The Palacio de Generalife (Spanish pronunciation: [xe.ne.ɾa.ˈli.fe]; Arabic: جَنَّة الْعَرِيف‎ Jannat al-‘Arīf, literally, “Architect’s Garden”) was the Summer Palace and Country Estate of the Nasrid rulers of the Emirate of Granada in Al-Andalus, now beside the city of Granada in the autonomous community of Andalusia, Spain.

The Alcazaba was a building used for military purposes. The first Arab constructions date back to the Caliphate period, possibly built over some ruins of a Roman fortress. In the 11th century, the “ziríes” expanded the enclosure, when Granada was the capital city of one of the “Taifas” kingdoms. Even so, the main constructions date from the “nazarie” period (13th to 15th centuries). At this enclosure there are also some Christian additions like the round “Cubo” Tower.

The Alhambra (/ælˈhæmbrə/; Spanish: [aˈlambɾa]; Arabic: الْحَمْرَاء‎ [ʔælħæmˈɾˠɑːʔ], Al-Ḥamrāʾ, lit. “The Red One”) is a palace and fortress complex located in Granada, Andalusia, Spain. It was originally constructed as a small fortress in AD 889 on the remains of Roman fortifications, and then largely ignored until its ruins were renovated and rebuilt in the mid-13th century by the Nasrid emir Mohammed ben Al-Ahmar of the Emirate of Granada, who built its current palace and walls. It was converted into a royal palace in 1333 by Yusuf I, Sultan of Granada.

The Palace of Charles V is a Renaissance building in Granada, southern Spain, located on the top of the hill of the Assabica, inside the Nasrid fortification of the Alhambra. The building has never been a home to a monarch and stood roofless until 1957.

The structure was commanded by Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor, who wished to establish his residence close to the Alhambra palaces. Although the Catholic Monarchs had already altered some rooms of the Alhambra after the conquest of the city in 1492, Charles V intended to construct a permanent residence befitting an emperor. The project was given to Pedro Machuca, an architect whose biography and influences are poorly understood. At the time, Spanish architecture was immersed in the Plateresque style, still with traces of Gothic origin. Machuca built a palace corresponding stylistically to Mannerism, a mode still in its infancy in Italy.
