Cicerone offers two to two-and-a-half-hour guided walking tours of the historic centre, the Alhambra and Generalife, the Albaicín, and the Capilla Real and Cathedral (tel: 670 541 669; website: www.ciceronegranada.com). Guías Granada also does an Albaicín and Historic Centre walking tour, plus several itineraries including transport from and back to your accommodation (tel: 958 225 245; website: www.guiasgranada.com). Both also offer private tours.

Granavision does English-language Alhambra and Generalife tours with transport included, and can combine that with a visit to a modern version of a Moorish bathhouse (tel: 902 330 002; website: www.visitargranada.com).

City Sightseeing Granada (website: www.city-sightseeing.com) operates two ‘hop-on, hop-off' sightseeing bus loops, with tickets valid for 24 hours. The Granada Romántica route is best if your focus is on the Alhambra, Albaicín and Capilla Real area, while the Tour Principal covers the historic centre, the Alhambra and sights west and south of the centre.
