Alcazaba

Stunning castle on the hill overlooking the city and the port. Tickets can be bought from the machines and you can scan the QR codes to get a translated description and history on your phone. Walking around in the sunshine and finding the beautiful oasis' in the grounds. Fountains and pools and gorgeous carved stonework. Well worth a visit.

Really nice fortress above the city. Tickets are 3.5€ and they can be bought on the machines on the entrance. Take your earphones, scan QR code, and listen about the fortress while you are there. We came early, half an hour after opening and I recommend you do the same because there's a lot less people at that time. We were there for about an hour and a half and when we were going back down, there was a large crowd at the entrance.

Worth the visit but don't expect Seville or Granada! Incredibly cheap for pensioners 1.50euro !! Good walk to the top but manageable if you take it steady, we are in our 70s and arthritic but managed. Great views in all directions.

This is a beautiful site to visit. The walk to the top of the fort is challenging, but enjoyable. The paths are wide all the way to the top, and the views are amazing. There are places to stop and rest if you need. There is an accessible car park and entrance at the top if you want to go by car/taxi. You can pay for entrance when you get to the top if you want to go inside. There is a cafe in the fortress, toilets, and gardens with places to sit.

Beautiful fortress. Definitely worth to visit. Ticket price is more than fair. Gardens are magnificent. Recommend to come as soon as it opens to avoid long ques and waiting. It is amazing in the morning when there are few people.

So beautiful, took me about 1.5 hours to look around and see the whole thing. If anyone is wondering there are bathrooms inside and a small place to eat. The architecture is so stunning and I recommend downloading the audio guide (free) and listen to the stories! The Roman theater is free to see so if you don't wanna pay you'll see it no worries. I bought my tickets in advance but there was no line. Bare in mind I went during off peak season also the winter so obviously not as many people. Do buy your tickets in advance.

Really nice! We loved walking here since every corner was filled with beautiful architecture. The entrance was not expensive like, so I would absolutely recommend going here. The perfect mix of pretty buildings and nature :)

A stunning mix of history, architecture, and beautiful views. The Moorish design and peaceful gardens are amazing, and the panoramic city and port views are unforgettable. Tip: Get the combined ticket ( save time and book online ) to visit the nearby Gibralfaro Castle as well—both are incredible and great value! Visited on Tuesday 12.11.2024
