Tickets and prices

The Archdiocese of Granada sells the tickets at ticketsgranadacristiana.com, its official shop, and the Cathedral’s and the Chapel’s own sites send buyers there. GetYourGuide resells single entries to these two for about €10 each with a booking fee, so buy from the shop.

• Reduced: students up to 25, large families (ticket office only) and visitors with a disability, all with proof. Children up to 12 with an adult are free, but not school or tour groups.
• Doors: the shop prints the doors closing at 18:45 at the Cathedral and 19:00 at the Chapel.
• The Kerygma exhibition runs in the Cathedral from 8 May to 28 November 2026, and the €10 price applies while it does.
• The combined ticket covers the Cathedral, the Royal Chapel, the Cartuja, San Jerónimo, the Sacromonte Abbey and San Nicolás. Any four of them cost at most €32 separately, so it can pay only from the fifth: see La Cartuja and San Jerónimo.
• The Granada Card includes both monuments: see the Granada Card sums.

Tours worth paying for

The audio guide in the ticket covers the buildings, so a guide pays if you want the history told. The two entries come to €17 until 28 November and €14 after. Prices are GetYourGuide’s lowest “from” prices, per person.

1. The Chapel. A royal decree of 1504 created it as the Catholic Monarchs’ burial place, and the Isabelline Gothic chapel was built between 1505 and 1517. At the crossing are the marble tombs of Isabella and Ferdinand, by Domenico Fancelli, and of their daughter Joanna and her husband Philip, by Bartolomé Ordóñez. A plain crypt below holds the lead coffins. The sacristy holds a museum, created in 1913. No photos.
2. The Cathedral. The cathedral was founded in 1492; work on the present building began in 1523 and the central vault was finished in 1704. The Archdiocese calls it a masterpiece of the Spanish Renaissance, with a façade by Alonso Cano and a circular presbytery. Photos are allowed if they do not disturb prayer.
3. The surroundings. The Alcaicería, the lanes of shops beside the Cathedral, and Plaza Bib-Rambla are a few steps away.

The order that works: the Chapel opens at 10:00 from Monday to Saturday and at 11:30 on Sundays, so on a Sunday take the Chapel in the morning and the Cathedral after 15:00. What to skip: the Cathedral on a Sunday morning, because it is shut.

Practical information

• Where: the Cathedral is at Gran Vía de Colón 5, which the shop gives as the Plaza de las Pasiegas; the Chapel is on Calle Oficios.
• Rules: silence and decorous dress, heads uncovered, no food or drink, no phones ringing. Travel suitcases and backpacks are not allowed into the Cathedral. Visits stop during services.
• Audio guide: an app, included in every ticket.
• The one thing that ruins a visit: arriving on a Sunday before 15:00 for the Cathedral, or lifting a camera in the Chapel.

The city centre walk takes in both monuments, the Madraza and the Corral del Carbón in one route. La Cartuja and San Jerónimo cover the other paid churches and the combined ticket. What to book before you go to Granada has the closed days for every sight, and things to do in Granada lists the prices side by side. The Granada Card covers both monuments, and Granada walking tours compares the guided walks. For a bed near the centre, see where to stay in Granada, and where to eat in Granada for lunch.
