Experience Granada with us

Granada is warm year-round but can get piping hot during summer, so it’s best to opt for a visit during early autumn if you can. Rainfall is common from June to October, which can take some of the shine from this stunning city, so keep this in mind when planning your trip.

When it comes to travelling, this ancient city’s charm is also its downfall. Cars and buses struggle to make their way through the city centre due to the small alleyways and twisting and turning paths. Although taxis are available, its best to walk if you can. Luckily there’s plenty of Granada tours available that include transport, so you can see the sites hassle-free. The city’s train station is 1.5 kilometres northwest of the city, and regular long-haul trains link Granada with the rest of Spain’s main cities. If you fancy a more scenic route to the airport, buses run directly to and from Madrid’s Barajas airport most days, and other services operate within Granada City also.

Granada is a relatively safe city, although you should always exercise caution when visiting a new destination. Keep these travel tips in tow so your trip can go off without a hitch. Petty thieves are known for operating throughout the city, so it’s recommended to lock valuables in hotel safes and only carry small change when you’re out on any Granada day trips. In an emergency, dial 112. Watch the roads. They may be narrow, but Granadian roads can be dangerous, as locals often take narrow corners quickly. So, check before crossing.

Granada hosts numerous festivals and events throughout the year, including Semana Santa (Holy Week), a significant religious festival featuring processions. The Granada International Festival of Music and Dance, occurring in June and July, includes performances in historic settings. Corpus Christi is a week-long celebration with parades, fairs, and traditional events. Additionally, the Fiestas del Zaidín, a local festival in September, showcases music and cultural activities.
