If you spend a few days in Granada, you can't leave without seeing the Alhambra, a place where you can enjoy the culture and history of the Nasrid kingdom.
You're probably wondering what the best option is to get to this special place. To help, we'll tell you how to get to the Alhambra, offering several alternatives. Read on to learn everything you need for a perfect visit to Granada.
The Alhambra in Granada is located on Sabika Hill, a spot from which you can enjoy the iconic views of Granada, the Sierra Nevada, and more. Its natural beauty makes it a must-see for all visitors.
There are several options for accessing the Alhambra: by car, bus, or on foot. Many people consider using public transportation the best way to reach it, but if you're strong enough, it's advisable to walk to get the full experience and enjoy every detail of the journey. We must acknowledge that you may encounter some uneven ground as it's located high on a hill.
For those who are unable to travel or prefer a more convenient way to get to the Alhambra, you can take the bus. Granada has several bus lines that will take you directly to the monument.

The two most striking routes are the following:
It is the most direct route, but also the steepest.From Plaza Nueva, just take the hillside street and you'll reach the entrance to the Alhambra.

As we mentioned before, it's a somewhat steep climb, but the walk is very pleasant, especially when you have enough time and energy to enjoy all its charms.
Access to the Alhambra from the center with private vehicles is not permitted. Therefore, you must enter via the Sierra Highway or the A-44 Motorway or via the ring road towards Ronda Sur following the signs to get to the Alhambra.
