Architecture and the Muslim influence is really strong and present in the whole city. Also there are lots of partying opportunities and great cheap beer and FREE TAPAS! Lots of things to do, but if you run out of ideas, you can take a 2 hour bus ride to the beach. It was without a doubt, the best trip of my life.close

Granada is very chill and is definitely one of those cities that you rarely hear of and is one of the best experiences. If you want to get off the beaten path Granada is defiantly one of those cities. Food is really cheap here. You can order a beer and it normally comes with a tapa for 1.80....more Granada is very chill and is definitely one of those cities that you rarely hear of and is one of the best experiences.

The Alhambra is gorgeous make sure you go. The weather is nice and warm, but this time of year it\'s a bit chilly.close

It costs €10 entry and i would recommend investing in the electronic guides if you want to know what anything is. Takes a while to walk round, but the detail in the castle and grounds is unbelievable! Views are fabulous! Granada itself is interesting, full of winding streets and cool cafes. No more than a day needed though! The cathedral is cool, costs €3.50.close

Walking in the small streets, eating some moorish sweet and drinking a moroccan minth tea, shopping in moroccan kiosks.... Visiting the Alhambra is like going back in the past, feeling the history of the south of Spain, it's like living a dream during 5 hours.close

What impressed me the most about this city is the perfect blend between Arabic and Christian culture. The narrow alleys of the Albayzin, the islamic quarter, are full of shops and cafes (teterias) with outdoor tables where you can relax and enjoy a good cup of Moroccan tea.

The narrow alleys of the Albayzin, the islamic quarter, are full of shops and cafes (teterias) with outdoor tables where you can relax and enjoy a good cup of Moroccan tea. The Alhambra is without any doubt the symbol of the city: this palace-fortress dominates the entire city. Another must is the Sacromonte, a district where caves have been transformed into dwellings occupied mostly by gypsiesclose

While there, there was a big open air party in one of the main squares and we found the atmosphere quite threatening: a lot of rowdy, drunken youths. I believe these kinds of open air party are gaining in popularity in Spain, but quite frankly you could have them. The Alhambra on the other hand, is something everyone should get to see at least once in their lives. It is amazingly beautiful and the views over Granada are excellent.close

Staff were not friendly at all (above all the old man of the night shift), rooms and bathrooms were not clean, breakfast was poor, they charged my card without telling me, people at the reception didn't know the prices they charged for the rooms... there are a lot of better places to sleep in Granada.close

Granada is fantastic. All its small street where you can get lost, Arabic shops and teterĂas and their delicious sweets... I loved it! The amazing Alhambra adds a lot of charm to the city.

great place, loved the Alhambra, but after that and the couple of other interesting places, you start to find yourself at a loose end - one and a half days was ample. the city is really interesting to walk around and there are plenty of shops (though you have to search for the ones selling food)...more great place, loved the Alhambra, but after that and the couple of other interesting places, you start to find yourself at a loose end - one and a half days was ample. the city is really interesting to walk around and there are plenty of shops (though you have to search for the ones selling food) and there are plenty of bars and so on. trains from Granada are easy - theres a great over night train to Barcelona, and there are some to Madrid, so its easy to get in and out of.close
