Places to see in the Albaicín (Granada)

With this selection of places to see in the Albaicín you will leave completely in love with this beautiful neighborhood of Granada.

A guide to the best things to visit in Granada would never be complete without including the Albaicin or Albayzin. This is the oldest neighborhood in the city and, not in vain, was declared a World Heritage Site by Unesco. Getting lost in its labyrinthine streets means exploring the unique mix of cultures that passed through it: Arabs, Iberians, Greeks, Romans and Visigoths. In addition, due to its orography, you will find fabulous viewpoints from which you can get an impressive panoramic view of the Alhambra and the rest of Granada.

Visiting the Albaicín also means discovering a deep-rooted culture in its taverns, teterías and flamenco tablaos. That's why it's hard to answer the question of how long it takes to see the Albaicín. You could spend just a few hours, but also one or two days enjoying all it has to offer. What we can assure you is that, at no time, you will feel that you are spending too much time. It is a neighborhood that traps you.

Based on our visits to this fantastic city, which we think is one of the best things to see in Andalucia, this time we want to tell you what to do in the Albaicin. We will tell you about the most recommended places, but also some off-route, restaurant and accommodation tips that will make your experience even more special. Let's get started!
