Things to do in Granada

Beautiful place, rich with history and an abundance of instagrammable shots for the social media moguls. I would advise booking tickets in advance as they sell out and make sure you include the Nasrid palace to it and immerse yourself in the history of these wonderful moorish buildings.

The most beautiful architecture in Alhambra, the most brilliant gem of Islamic civilization. A true World Heritage Site, strolling through the palace gardens is like wandering through the river of history.

The exterior is magnificent and rugged, but the interior is exquisite and magnificent. There is no Islamic architectural style, but a thorough Catholic church style. The Catholic Tomb of the Two Kings is next to the chapel, which requires additional tickets to visit.

San Nicolas Square (Plaza de San Nicolas) is a lively place any time of day, with craftsmen, flamenco dancers, and street musicians setting up along the paving stones to entertain visitors. At dusk, crowds of locals and tourists turn out to watch the sunset over the palace grounds before adjourning to restaurants and tea shops on nearby Elvira Street. 

This monastery is not the most famous one in Granada, but I think it is worth visiting. The entire scale is very large, especially its main building, which feels like a small palace.

Coming out of the Alham Palace Garden, the snowstorm was even stronger. I barely had a good look at the square, typical European-style exterior of the Carlos V Palace before rushing in. I was immediately shocked by the two-story Roman Colosseum-style circular building. I walked around it again and again, up and down, and took photos inside and out. Carlos V was built in 1527 by the architect Pedro Machuca of Toledo. It is a magnificent Renaissance palace and a very important building in the Spanish Renaissance. Looking down from the air, the whole is square, but it contains an amazing circular double courtyard supported by 32 columns. The palace can be viewed from different angles.

This Moorish building, located in the small city of Granada in southern Spain, is more than 800 years old. It has been built by several generations of kings to its current size. The Alcazaba Fortress overlooking the entire city and the snow-capped mountains, the Nasrid Palace that embodies the ultimate geometric beauty, and the Generalife Summer Palace with a maze-like waterscape courtyard, all have different styles but are equally beautiful, making me feel like I'm in a dream all day.
