What to expect
Download the app before arrival and follow GPS-guided waypoints around Granada's streets bordering Alhambra. At each stop, you'll encounter a puzzle or question that unlocks fresh information about the monument's history and architecture. The challenges encourage closer observation—you'll notice details walking past that most tourists miss. Two hours is a realistic timeframe, though you can stretch or compress based on how deeply you engage. The route stays outside the palace's paid zones, so expect crowds on the adjoining streets but calm exploration of the puzzles themselves.
Good to know
Bring a charged phone and consider a portable charger. Sturdy walking shoes suit Granada's hilly terrain. The app works offline once downloaded. Service animals welcome. Those with spinal conditions or pregnant travellers should check the app route's inclines beforehand.
