Granada Card: modalities, prices and when it pays

The Granada Card combines visits to monuments with urban transport, but not all of its modalities include the same visit to the Alhambra. This guide uses the table of modalities and prices of the Granada City Council. Before purchasing, confirm the amount, availability and conditions of your date there.

Modalities and prices published by the City Council

The municipal table indicates these amounts from November 13, 2025. The name of a modality in hours is not equivalent to the duration in full days shown in the same table: the start date is chosen when purchasing and the validity runs in consecutive days.

The Children’s Granada Card is listed at €13 for minors 3 to 11 years old and accompanies the modality acquired by adults. Children under 3 years old do not need the Granada Card; Consult the procedure for the free Alhambra ticket in the municipal file.

What is included and what is left out

According to the City Council, the four modalities include the Cathedral, Royal Chapel, Cartuja, San Jerónimo, Sacromonte Abbey and general admission to the Science Park, in addition to other spaces that vary by modality. Also announced are nine city bus trips and a complete tour on the tourist train. This return does not include Hop-on Hop-off or headphones; consult the conditions of the train operator. Check the details of each attraction before adding its price to a comparison.

BioDomo and Planetarium are not included in the Granada Card Science Park entrance. The municipal page indicates that they have their own capacity and reservation of passes. It also does not include a guide or audio guide of the Alhambra. A listed monument may close or alter access for conservation or organization.

When can he compensate you?

There is no universal savings. Write down only the visits you will actually make, check the current individual price and subtract any discounts or freebies that apply to you. Then compare that sum with the modality offered by the visit to the Alhambra you want. Do not add BioDome, Planetarium, nine bus trips or a monument that you do not plan to use to create a theoretical savings.

The Granada Card can be useful if it fits in with several paid visits and your travels; It may not be suitable if you are only visiting the Alhambra or if you have significant discounts. The availability of Palacios Nasrids is not guaranteed: when purchasing you must select the date and the time slot of the Alhambra that is offered at that time. Check the actual inventory before planning the rest of the trip.

Example of comparison with individual entries

For an adult without discounts, these amounts are published on October 3, 2026 on the venue channels:

Just those three individual tickets add up to €39.27. Compared to the €55 published for Granada Card 48h, the difference is €15.73. To decide, consider only the transportation and other visits that you would actually use. If you add Cartuja and San Jerónimo, at €7 each on the Archdiocese channel, the individual sum would be €53.27, still €1.73 below the bonus before valuing their other services.

This example compares individual tickets and does not incorporate discounts, freebies or combined bonuses from other operators. Also check these products and the access applicable with Granada Card during exhibitions like Kerygma. The municipal table retains €21 for Alhambra General and €7 for the Cathedral: to assess the individual cost of your date, use the venue’s rates, instead of reproducing those figures as current prices.

Purchase and preparation of the visit
