The sole reason for going to Granada was to visit Alhambra palace. It is a very popular tourist destination, as individuals you can only pre-book on the day. We were advised to arrive early. The gates open at 08 00, last admission 14-00, we arrived at 07 45 to find about 500 people in front of us, we got through the gate at 08 45. They allocate a time slot to visit the palace proper, every half hour, starting at 08-30. Ours was 11-00.
We recommend it, take your time, lots to see, the grounds, views and buildings. A big wow factor.

One of our few regrets on our recent visit to Granada is that we did not take the time to visit the Alhumbra.
