Are you interested on a day trip to Granada from Seville? If you are short on time, this is the best way to experience the multitude of culture that Granada holds.
Why should you book a day trip to Granada from Seville?
Granada is at about 240 km (150 miles) east of Seville, and it’s one of Spain’s most popular tourism destinations. Located close to the Sierra Nevada mountains, there is no end to the historic architecture and you can explore many Moorish landmarks bursting with culture.
However, if there is only one thing you must include in your bucket list is to see the amazing Alhambra. This complex is a palace, a fortress and a government building all rolled into one, not to mention stunning gardens.
Is “Because it’s spectacular!” not motivating enough?
Access to the Alhambra is strictly limited to a certain number of visitors each day. For this reason I strongly recommend you to book several weeks in advance if you don’t want to miss the opportunity.
Of course, these are day trips that you can do from Seville. But if you happen to have more time and plan to travel to Granada on your own, have a look at these tours that you can enjoy while you are there.
