Our Guide to Granada

Flair
Historic, magical, and dripping with Andalusian charm — Granada is seriously one of a kind.

Best Time to Visit
April through June or September through October are the sweet spot — warm but not sweltering.
-
How Long to Stay
Two to three days is plenty — but book your Alhambra tickets well in advance, or you'll miss out.
-
Price Level
Pleasantly affordable. Many bars still serve free tapas with every drink — yes, really.

Food
Don't leave without trying Habas con Jamón — a local classic made with broad beans and cured ham.
-
Getting Around
Most of Granada is best explored on foot. Local buses cover the rest easily.
