Upon entry to the Alhambra you will
have been assigned a time slot for the Palace Nazaries. If you fail
to enter during this half hour time slot you will be denied entry
to this stunning complex. It therefore makes sense to enter the
Alhambra well before you assigned time. You can then visit other
sections of the Alhambra beforehand. Logically it is best to visit
first the Alcazaba then the Palace of Carlos V (with museums) before
the Palace Nazaries. Then you can walk along the North wall towards
the Generalife (gardens). To visit everything at a leisurely pace
will require at least 3 hours.
Tickets for the Alhambra
The number of admissions per day is limited to protect
the monument. Therefore if you have not booked in advance it is
imperative to turn up early in the day, especially during high season,
to guarantee entry. Queues will start well before the 8.30 opening
time.
There are two ways to book in advance - in a BBV
bank, or online or by phone.
BBV (Banco Bilbao Vizcaya)
All branches of this large bank provide a reservation
system. You can sometimes choose your time slot for the Palacio
Nazaries (see above). This reservation system must be used at least
one day in advance.

If you have reserved a ticket you will have to
collect your ticket from the Western entrance. This is a long uphill
walk from the city centre so leave plenty of time to make sure you
don't miss your time slot for the Palace Nazaries. Alternatively
jump on the No. 32 bus which runs regularly from the centre and
will drop you right in front of the ticket office.
