Best Time to Visit
The best time to visit Granada is during spring (March to May) and autumn (September to October) when temperatures are pleasant and crowds are moderate. However, each season offers unique experiences:
Winter (December-February) brings cool temperatures with occasional frost. This is an excellent time for exploring the Alhambra without summer crowds and enjoying the contrast of snow-capped Sierra Nevada mountains with the city's Moorish architecture. Winter is also perfect for visiting the city's historic hammams (Arab baths) and enjoying warming tapas in traditional bars.
Spring (March-May) offers perfect temperatures and blooming gardens. This is one of the most popular times to visit, especially during Holy Week celebrations. The Alhambra's gardens are particularly beautiful in spring, and the weather is ideal for exploring the historic Albaicín and Sacromonte neighborhoods on foot.
Summer (June-August) brings intense heat during the day, though the city's elevation helps temperatures cool significantly at night. Early morning or evening are the best times for sightseeing. Summer evenings come alive with outdoor concerts, especially during the International Festival of Music and Dance in June-July. The Alhambra is particularly magical during night visits in summer.
Autumn (September-November) sees temperatures becoming more comfortable with occasional rainfall. This is an excellent time for hiking in the nearby mountains, exploring the city's monuments, and enjoying the harvest season in local restaurants. The autumn light creates beautiful photography opportunities, especially during sunset at Mirador de San Nicolás.
