Historic Garden and Palace

About This Attraction

Granada Spain

The Generalife in Granada is a historic garden and summer palace that once served as the rural retreat for the Nasrid rulers of the Emirate of Granada. Located on the slopes of the Cerro del Sol, it offers stunning views of the city and surrounding mountains. The gardens are famous for their intricate design and use of water features, including fountains and reflecting pools, creating a serene atmosphere.

Visitors should note that the Generalife opening hours can vary depending on the season. It is generally open from morning until evening, but checking ahead is advisable to plan your visit accordingly. The site is part of the Alhambra complex, which means tickets are often limited, so purchasing them in advance is recommended to ensure entry.
