Alhambra tickets for October visit
 

Can some one please advise me on the best way to get tickets for the Alhambra for an early October visit?

We got ours at a bank, I don't remember the name, but your hotel could
tell you. We were there in May about
4 years ago and we got the ticket
the day before w/o a problem.
Look on the Granada tourist website
there should be some info on it.

Call your hotel, they can reserve them for you, for pick-up at will call. Ours did, with no service charge at all.

I would advise you to get them online. We were there last Oct and it was very crowded. When you get them online, you just get a confirmation number that you take to the pick-up window at the site and they give you the actual tickets. There was a line at this window. Or, as the other poster said, your hotel could probably get them for you, but I wouldn't wait until getting to the hotel to ask them to reserve tickets. I would do it now.

The Bank is the BilbaoVizcaya one of the largest of Spain. You can buy through the internet , in person in the bank or by phone, international phone is
34 91 537 9178, better read first in the banks web site.

tHANKS EVERYONE FOR YOUR SUGGESTIONS. tHE CONTRACT WITH THE bANK EXPIRES IN jULY SO ONLINE SALES ARE NO LONGER POSSIBLE. i WILL CALL MY HOTEL UNLESS SOMEONE HAS ANOTHER SUGGESTION. .
