Best time to visit
Due to a large number of visitors flocking the palace each day, Granada has limited the number of people who can visit the palace to 6,600 a day. This might seem quite a lot, but most people start very early in the morning. You might be required to make some booking for as early as 90 days. You can book any time of the year but during the fall season is ideal as most people tend to visit the warm areas. There is less congestion giving you ample time to tour and embrace the rich history of Granada.
