Do I need to print my ticket?

No. Your mobile ticket is accepted at the entrance — a screenshot works well given that phone signal on the Alhambra hill can be patchy.

Is ID really required, and what counts as valid?

Yes — all visitors must present valid identification at entry. A passport or national identity card is standard. A driving licence may not be accepted, so bring an official travel document to be safe.

My child is under 12. Do I still need to book them a ticket?

Children under 12 enter free of charge, but they must be accompanied by a paying adult. You do not need to book a separate ticket for them.

Can I cancel if my plans change?

Cancellation terms depend on your booking. Check the cancellation policy shown at checkout before confirming your order.

Is the Alhambra accessible for visitors with reduced mobility?

Parts of the Alhambra complex are accessible, but the site is large, hilly, and includes cobbled paths and uneven terrain. Visitors with mobility requirements should plan their route carefully — the Generalife gardens and some palace areas can be reached, but full access throughout is not guaranteed.

Where do I meet if I have booked a guided tour add-on?

This listing covers admission only. If you have booked a guided tour separately, meeting-point details will be provided in your tour confirmation.
