The most accessible place to get a horizontal view of the Alhambra & Generalife.. but if you're willing to explore, they're are better places to take a picture of both the Alhambra & Alabzyn..

The atmosphere at Mirador de San Nicolas is fantastic with an amalgamation of tourists , gipsies , musicians , merchants. The view is even more impressive with view of the Alhambra and the Sierra Nevada.

Excellent view after a long hot climb of the Albaicin. Unfortunately Granada is not a stroller friendly city , so if you are with kids, be prepared!

Yigit A.

Great view of Alhambra , actually the best i have seen when i was in Granada. If it is too crowded here to take a photo, go to mosque garden and you can find the same view with no crowd.

Sam Anthony

Great view of La Alhambra of course, but it is the place everyone goes. So crowded you'll mainly get people's phones in your photos unless you stake out a spot early.

Ana

Incredible views and you can buy some things in a nearby shop,like chips , beers , calippo, tomato 's juice and take them there, very good plan for the summer evenings

Pettran

Beautiful view over Alhambra! If you are lucky a sad guitar player sings his songs and you can dream away to the far east ????

Andrius S.

Amazing view of the Alhambra palace ! Best time to come when it's getting dark so you could see the palace in light and in dark.

Nora Taghavi

You can sit there and enjoy the restaurants and cafe till the sunshine to see the amazing view of alhambra ????????????????

Sam Anthony

Undoubtedly a great view of La Alhambra, but overrun with crowds of tourists . Walk by for the typical Alhambra sunset shot but not really enjoyable for a quiet chill spot .

Ali Al-Hamidah

Scenic view and there’s a masjid and some of restaurants nearby.. its must when you’re in Granada

Louisa Leung

Perfect location for viewing the Alhambra. Take bus 31 from Gran Via de Colon. Also walk westward to the other vantage point Mirador de la Lona to look at the cityscape .

Alya Afifah

Nice view of al hambra. Especially when the sun sets and the lights on. Next to the plaza is the mosque . It is less crowded there.

Full not just of tourists but also of local colorful gipsies and musicans, must see by day as well as at night.

Stunning view of Alhambra and Sierra Nevada. The C1 bus can save you a climb up to the Mirador .
