Program details

Come discover the greatness of Granada, one of the most fascinating cities in all of Europe. Spend a half-day touring the impressive history of the city's Moorish roots, complete with its emblematic sites of fairy-tale palaces, lush gardens, and one of the oldest cemeteries in the country.

Perched atop a hill overlooking the city, the Alhambra palace complex stands in pure splendour. Originally built as a fortress, and converted to a palace, it is a truly magnificent sight to behold. Ornate and opulent all at once, enjoy exploring the exquisite and intricate architecture. Check out the quarters of the harem and the of the Myrtles with its large pond used for cooling the buildings in the excessive summer heat. See the magnificent Hall of the Ambassadors and the breathtakingly beautiful Court of the Lions and the Hall of the Abencerrajes. Walk through the vibrant Generalife Gardens, rich with ornamental plants, bright flowers, and spouting fountains.

After exploring the paradise of the palace and gardens, visit the Granada cemetery, one of the oldest cemeteries in Spain. Reflect on the meaning of life, as you view the monuments to the dead. Take in the masterfully sculpted tombs marking the resting places of those who've come and gone; true works of artistry to commemorate life. Remark at the use of talent and artistic technique to mark the dead of long ago.

Filled with a remarkable history and magical places, Granada's cultural offerings are simply unmatched.
