Granada City Card Pass: What's Included, Alhambra Access and Useful Tips

The Granada Card is a tourist pass that includes entrance to the Alhambra and other main monuments and museums of Granada, as well as 9 urban bus trips.

The Granada Card is sometimes also called the Granada Tourist Pass. By buying this pass, you can save up to 40% compared to purchasing the entrances to the main attractions separately.

There are 4 types of Granada Card avilable: 24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours, and Granada Card Gardens.

All four types include entrance to the main sights and 9 trips on city buses.

The difference lies in the type of the Alhambra entrance (daytime, nightime, gardens, etc) and Granada Card 72h includes access to more monuments.

The tourist sights included in the Granada Card can only be visited once. There are no discounts for seniors or students.

Granada Card does not allow changes or refunds once purchased. Therefore, double-check the date and time before making your purchase.

Here, we explain the differences and other details of the Granada Tourist Pass.

What does the Granada Card Include?

With the Granada Card, you can visit the monuments, palaces, and museums of Granada.

The 72-hour Granada Card also includes admission to the Casa de los Tiros, Fine Arts and Archaeological Museums, even though entrance to these museums is already free.



This map displays the locations of all the sights included in the Granada Card, allowing you to plan your route more effectively.

Granada Card 72 h also includes entrance to the: Bañuelo, Casa del Horno de Oro and Dar al-Hora Palace.

4 Granada Card Types, Prices 2025

As we have already mentioned, there are 4 types of Granada Card:

Granada Card 24 h - 46,92 euros

This type includes night entrance to the Alhambra, plus eight monuments and 9 trips on city buses.

It does not include two other parts of the Alhambra: the Alcazaba and the Generalife gardens.

For those who do not know, the Nasrid Palaces refer to the royal apartments inside the Alhambra.

Granada Card 24 h includes 8 monuments and museums but it's difficult to visit so many sites in one day.

You also have to take into account travel and lunchtime.

If you are in Granada for more than one day, it makes more sense to buy a 48-hour, or better yet, a 72-hour Granada Card.

Granada Card 48 h, 49,06 euros

The Granada Card 48 h includes a daytime visit of the Alhambra (Nasrid Palaces, Alcazaba and Generalife), + 8 monuments + 9 trips on the city buses.

Granada Card 72 h, 56,57 euros

This option also includes a daytime visit to the Alhambra (Nasrid Palaces, Alcazaba and Generalife), + 11 monuments + 9 trips on the city buses.

Granada Card Gardens, 46,92 euros

This option includes visit to the Generalife Gardens, Alcazaba, + 8 monuments, + 9 trips on the city buses.

You cannot enter the Nasrid Places with Granada Gardens card.

Granada Card for Kids

The Granada Card for children aged 3 to 11 is always tied to a corresponding adult card.

An adult can buy up to 3 passes for children. It is not possile to buy a Granada Card for a child without purchasing a Granada Card for an adult.

To purchase the Children's Granada Card you must first select the Granada Card you want to buy, including the date. Then, in the next step, the option to add a Children's Granada Card will appear.

What Does Granada Card for Kids Include?

It includes the same sights as the card for an adult.

How much does the Granada Card for kids cost?

12,59 euros - the price is the same for all 4 Granada Card types.

Granada Cathedral	6 €
Royal Chapel	6 €
Cartuja Monastery	6 €

Is it Worth Buying the Granada Card?

Let's calculate how much it would cost us to travel on the city buses and see all the monuments included in the Granada Card if we visit them without the card.

: total, without Granada Card 71 €. With Granada Card 56 €.

It is worth buying the tourist pass if you are going to visit more than 60% of the included monuments (6-7 sights of 11) and use Granada city buses several times.

Another advantage is that you can obtain tickets to the Alhambra with the Granada Card when there are no tickets left on the official website.

Where to Buy & Collect the Granada Card?

The Granada City Card can be purchased from 1 day to 3 months in advance. You can buy the Granada Card only in advance at: entradas.granadatur.com.


After you have bought the card, you will be shown a 'print at home' page. It is enough to show the ticket on your mobile at the entrances to the monuments.

But if you plan to use public transportation, you have to collect the credibus (travel card) at the vending machines located at 3 bus stops in the city center on route number 4: 'Fuente de las Batallas', 'Cathedral' or 'Gran Vía' (next to the ice cream shop Los Italianos).

You can find the location of the vending machines on the map bellow:


If you encounter any issues getting the travel card from the vending machines, you can call 858 880 990.

Things to Keep in Mind with the Granada Card

Other Useful Information

▸ You can visit the monuments included in the tourist pass once, during public hours and within the valid dates.

▸ You do not need a reservation to visit any monument, except for the Alhambra. You must select the day and time of your visit to the Nasrid Palaces when purchasing the pass.

▸ The Tourist Pass or Granada Card does not provide discounts for retirees or students.

▸ Additionally, the Granada Card does not allow exchanges or refunds once purchased, so make sure all details are correct before finalizing your purchase.

Tickets to the Alhambra with the Granada Card

When purchasing the Tourist Pass in advance (online or by phone), you must select the start date for your pass, as well as the time and day you plan to visit the Nasrid Palaces (only included in the 48h and 72h Granada Card).

Remember, you can visit the rest of the monumental complex at any time during the day of your visit. However, entry to this part of the Alhambra is strictly controlled, with access in small groups at the exact time specified on your voucher.

Keep this in mind when planning your trip, especially when purchasing the Granada Card.

To enter the Alhambra, simply present your proof of purchase for the Granada Card ("print at home") at the entrance gate, along with your ID or passport.

No additional tickets are required; you can proceed directly to the access controls.

Your entry date to the Alhambra can coincide with the start date of your Tourist Pass, as long as you purchased it at least one day in advance.

The visit to the Alhambra is primarily divided into three areas: Gardens and Palaces of the Generalife, the Alcazaba, and the Nasrid Palaces, and you are required to visit all three on the same day (with the 48h and 72h Granada Card).

Many advantages, some disadvantages

I am happy to have acquired Granada City Card, I did not have to worry about getting the tickets separately: the Alhambra, the Cathedral, Royal Chapel, several monasteries, etc., they were all included.

Advantages: good quality/price ratio. Disadvantages: lack of information and you have to visit most of the monuments included to take advantage of this card.

Good value for money

I decided to buy the Granada Card because it included the entrance to the Alhambra, otherwise I would not have been able to buy it.

I think it's very practical and good value for money as it includes entrances to many other monuments.
