It is not "necessary" to stay overnight in Granada. The Alhambra is beautiful at night. But, if you do not have enough time, you could pass.

It depends on your tolerance for crowds and heat. In the daytime, the Alhambra is jam packed, and it is a large site with lots of hilly walking and only intermittent shade, so it can get very warm.

At night, the tourist population drops dramatically and so do the temps. The gardens can't be seen, however.

I think the ideal visit begins in the evening and ends before noon the next day.

You are trying to pack in too much if you add those destinations.

you've received 3 responses to your question in 3 days. The reason you haven't received 10 times that is because your title is really too generic. Could be asking anything about anywhere in Europe. I'd definitely follow TuckH's advice to re-post w/ a better/detailed title.
