Alhambra day trip from Seville
Granada is about 250 km east of Seville by motorway. A day trip leaves early in the morning, returns late in the evening and combines the coach ride with a guided Alhambra visit.
In short
Pick a trip that states the Nasrid Palaces in the option you book. Several trips from Seville sell the transport with an optional entry ticket, and the cheapest option often covers the gardens only. Most start at a meeting point in central Seville rather than at your hotel, and the guide on the coach speaks English and Spanish.

What the trips include
- Coach or minibus from Seville and back, usually from a meeting point in the city centre. A few trips offer hotel pickup.
- A guided Alhambra visit with a licensed local guide. Whether the Nasrid Palaces are part of it depends on the option.
- On some trips, a walk through the Albaicín to the Mirador de San Nicolás, or free time in the city centre.
Meals are not included. Trips that leave out the entry ticket expect you to buy one yourself, which only works if you can still get a ticket for the same day.
Day trip or a night in Granada
A day trip is a long day, most of it in the coach. Reviewers who liked it point to the guide and to not having to organise anything. Those who did not mention the early start and little time in the city. If you can spare a night, the train or bus to Granada plus a tour booked on the Alhambra tours page gives you more time and a wider choice of tours and languages.
Names on the tickets
Alhambra tickets are named, so providers ask for the full name and ID number of each traveller after booking. Send them promptly: without the data the provider cannot buy the ticket, and some trips are then only offered without the palaces.

The visit to Alhambra was well worth the time, although we would have liked a little less time for lunch at Albaicin if we could see more of the neighbourhood; that part felt condensed and a little rushed.

It was a great trip and we had amazing guides!! Laura and Diego are both incredibly knowledgeable and very friendly! Right from the start Laura gave clear and complete instructions on all the when’s and where! While showing us a great time, she was focused on our safety at the same time! And with a humorous approach!! Loved it!!
