Description:

From the powerful gothic-style churches and the centuries-old Baroque Carthusian monastery to the lively cave district of Sacromonte, Granada oozes heritage and history. This half-day tour brings the architecture and antiquity of this city to life.

Your tour starts with a visit to the gothic-style Royal Chapel, the burial site of the Catholic Monarchs and their children. Walk through the majestic building as you admire Gothic construction and decor with Renaissance ideals found in the tombs and the artwork feature in the Chapel of Santa Cruz.

Next, journey through the meandering streets of Granada. Pass by iconic landmarks including the Royal Hospital, the impressive Jardines del Triunfo, and the Carthusian monastery before reaching the ancient Moorish quarter known as the Albaycin.

Wander the narrow streets and head up to the Mirador de San Nicholas, a vantage point that offers stunning views of the Alhambra, the city of Granada, and the Sierra Nevada mountains beyond.

Continue to Sacromonte, an area where the Romani population traditionally lived in caves and which now houses several cool clubs and bars. A visit to a typical cave offers a chance to rest your legs and have a soft drink before heading back to your hotel.
