Yes, Granada is built on hills, particularly the historic Albaicin neighborhood and areas around the Alhambra. Expect steep, narrow cobblestone streets that can be challenging for those with mobility issues. Comfortable walking shoes are essential.
Tipping in Granada is appreciated but not compulsory. At restaurants, leaving around 10% for good service is common practice. In tapas bars and cafes, rounding up the bill or leaving small change is typical. Always tip in cash when possible.
Spain uses the euro as its official currency. Credit cards are widely accepted at hotels, restaurants, and shops, though carrying some cash is recommended for smaller establishments, local markets, and traditional tapas bars throughout the city.
Spanish is the official language in Granada. The local Andalusian accent may be challenging even for Spanish speakers, as consonants are often softened or dropped entirely. English is spoken at major tourist sites and hotels, but less commonly in local neighborhoods.
Granada is famous for its traditional tapas culture where many bars still serve free tapas with each drink ordered. This custom allows you to experience multiple dishes affordably while bar-hopping through the historic neighborhoods, particularly around the Albaicin area.
Don't miss local specialties like habas con jamon (beans with ham), tortilla del Sacromonte (omelet with lamb brains and other organs), remojon granadino (orange and cod salad), and piononos (sweet pastries). The city also offers excellent Moorish-influenced cuisine with dishes featuring almonds and spices.
The ideal time to visit Granada is from April to June and September to October when temperatures are comfortable for exploring. Summer months can be very hot, while winter offers mild weather but can be cooler in the evenings due to the mountain location.

This stunning palace complex showcases the pinnacle of Islamic architecture in europe with intricate geometric patterns, beautiful gardens, and breathtaking views.
