Top Culture in Granada

Buy the combo ticket that includes the Royal Chapel; it saves you a few euros and lets you explore both must-see sites in one trip without rushing.

Try to visit the Cathedral around 10 AM to avoid the main crowds. I went in the afternoon and it was pretty packed, which made it hard to appreciate the space fully

I recommend visiting Generalife in the early morning around 9 AM. It was so much less crowded and I could really enjoy the gardens. Later in the day, it gets super packed and you can't take nice photos!

You should definitely take your time to explore the hidden corners and details. I rushed through at first and missed a lot of the beautiful landscaping elements. Slow down and enjoy the beauty; trust me, you'll thank yourself later!

Lastly, I thought it would be a quick stop, but I ended up spending a couple of hours there. So plan your time accordingly so you don't miss anything!

I recommend visiting Puerta Elvira in the early morning like around 9 AM. It’s way less crowded then and you can really soak in the beautiful arches without the hustle and bustle.

I think the entrance fee is totally worth it for how beautiful the monastery is, but don’t forget to check if they're offering any discounts for students or seniors on specific days!
