Questions about this trip

Is 3 days enough for Seville, Córdoba and Granada?

Three days covers the main sites if you move between cities by train each afternoon. Book train tickets and Alhambra entry at least two weeks ahead.

Do I need to book Alhambra tickets in advance?

Yes. Buy Alhambra tickets on the official site several weeks ahead in busy months, as tickets are named and timed for the Nasrid Palaces. Morning entries sell out first.

How long is the train from Seville to Córdoba?

High-speed trains run from Seville to Córdoba in 45 minutes. Reserve seats on Renfe for the lowest fares and to secure your preferred departure.

Do I need to book the Alcázar of Seville ahead?

Book Alcázar tickets online the day before or earlier to avoid queues at the gate. Entry is by timed slot, which helps with crowd control.
