Getting Around Granada
The different ways to get around the city of Granada.
Almost everything you’ll want to see in Granada fits into about 6 km²: the historic centre, the Alhambra and neighbourhoods such as the Realejo, the Albaicín and the Sacromonte, plus the Parque de las Ciencias (science museum), the railway station and the Palacio de Congresos (conference centre). That’s the area this Granada transport guide covers.
This map shows the main sights (coloured icons) and the zones closed to traffic (shaded, each in its own colour). Where you can drive, you’ll have to park in private car parks, so we’d advise against using a car unless you really have to. There are plenty of alternatives.
