Your 2-hour window

Walk City Center ~20 min

Plaza Nueva & Carrera del Darro

Start at Plaza Nueva and walk along Carrera del Darro, Granada's most beautiful street. The river, Arabic bridges, the Alhambra above. Don't stop at the restaurants here — they're tourist traps.

Viewpoint Albaicín ~40 min

San Nicolás Viewpoint

Walk up Cuesta del Chapiz or through the Albaicín alleyways to the viewpoint. The view of the Alhambra with Sierra Nevada behind is Granada's postcard. If going at sunset, arrive 20 minutes early.

Watch for pickpockets at the viewpoint. Keep your phone in a front pocket.
Tapas Albaicín ~40 min

Tapas in lower Albaicín

Walk down Calderería Nueva (the tea house street) and stop at Bar Lara or Casa Torcuato. Order a caña (small beer) — the tapa is included, that's how Granada works.

Essential tips

01

Wear comfortable shoes — the Albaicín is all cobblestone hills

02

If you can choose the time, go at sunset — the viewpoint is something else in that light
