Car Rental at Granada Airport

Airport travel guide

One of Spain’s most famous cities, Granada has plenty of attractions in and around it. Here are three suggestions for your travels:

• Alhambra. Alhambra is arguably one of the most famous landmarks in all of Spain – no trip to Granada would be complete without a visit to it. The stunning palatial complex dates back to the Emirate of Granada and the Moorish rule of the region, making it one of the most important examples of Islamic architecture in the world; later, it also encompassed notable Renaissance motives. Even if you don’t particularly care for history and architecture, a visit to the Alhambra is likely to blow you away.
• Generalife. Its name originating in Arabic and meaning ‘the Garden of the Architect’, this summer palace of the Nasrid royal dynasty is located near Alhambra and is another important piece of Moorish architecture. Dating back to the 14th century, it is known for its courtyard canal and beautiful gardens.
• Granada Cathedral. Initially built to resemble the Cathedral of Toledo, but having later incorporated more modern architectural elements, one of the most famous and important churches in Spain, over centuries this building has become an iconic landmark in its own right. An example of Renaissance and Baroque styles, the cathedral is as beautiful from the outside as it is from the inside.
