Cathedral and Royal Chapel + Albaicin and Sacromonte Tickets

Explore Granada's most compelling contrasts on this guided tour that takes you from Christian monuments to Moorish neighbourhoods. You'll visit the Cathedral and Royal Chapel, two of Spain's most significant religious sites built after the Christian Conquest of 1492, then discover the winding streets of the Albaicin Arab Quarter and the cave dwellings of Sacromonte.

Your official guide leads you through the Cathedral's ornate chapels and altars, then into the Royal Chapel where Spain's Catholic Monarchs lie buried. The tour continues through Albaicin's narrow cobbled streets with their whitewashed houses and spectacular viewpoints over Granada.
