The Alhambra (Arabic: الحمراء = Al-Ħamrā'; literally "the red") is a palace and fortress complex of the Moorish monarchs of Granada, in southern Spain (known as Al-Andalus when the fortress was constructed), occupying a hilly terrace on the south-eastern border of the city of Granada. It was the residence of the Muslim kings of Granada and their court, but is currently a museum exhibiting exquisite Islamic architecture. A Renaissance palace was also inserted by Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor.

As it said on the above article, the palace located in the hilly terrace. When we visited the place, we walked all the way to the top on foot, then by the time we finished had a look inside, we had no energy left to walked all the way down. Especially with a 4 yrs old son in tow.

I recommend you to arrive in the place in the morning around 10am-ish, made your ticket money worth, spend the whole day walking around and exploring the place.
