Granada Metro - Map and Stations, Timetables, Prices and Where to Buy

The Granada Metro crosses the city from north to south, connecting the capital with nearby villages of Armilla, Albolote and Maracena.


Probably the correct name should be the Light Metro or Trams, as only three stops are underground.

The average speed, which includes stops at metro stations, is approximately 20 kilometers per hour, with a 20-second stop. Each train has air conditioning, video surveillance cameras, and a capacity for 200 people.

We answer your questions

How to enter the train? Are there any reserved areas?

You can enter or leave the train through any door.

There is an area on each train reserved for people in wheelchairs or with baby strollers.

Use the double doors next to them to access these areas.

You can take your bike onto a train when there are not many people.

What is better, to use the metro or to travel by buses?

The metro does not reach the majority of the tourist attractions of Granada and the metro card cannot be used on the city buses.

You would need to buy two travel cards, one for the metro and another for the buses. Additionally, the money left on the cards (unused trips/money) will not be refunded.

It is more practical for a tourist who is only visiting Granada to use only the city buses (unless you need to go to the villages Albolote or Armilla).

The fares for travel on buses and the metro are similar, and by bus you can get to all the tourist attractions.

Granada metro

We have waited years for the metro to open but it does not seem as though it is useful for this purpose and Granada Railway Station only has one train route running at present (for 4 years I understand?).

Some advice on this might be useful, especially for drivers who would be reluctant to drive the confusing and narrow roads of Granada? (Seamus)
