Visit the Royal Chapel of Granada
Mejor época para visitar
Best to come right after opening at 10:00, before organized groups arrive. Afternoons from Tuesday to Thursday are the quietest of the week.
Consejos para el presupuesto
A standard ticket costs about 5 euros, and a combined ticket with the nearby cathedral works out cheaper than separate entries. Admission is free on certain days of the year, so it is worth checking the calendar on the official website before planning your visit.
Recomendado para
History and monarchy enthusiasts, Tourists interested in Renaissance art, Travelers looking for atmospheric sacred interiors, Couples on a romantic weekend

Acerca de
Datos rápidos: Dos Reyes Católicos, Isabel y Fernando, están enterrados aquí en un sencillo ataúd de plomo que contrasta fuertemente con el ornamentado mausoleo de mármol que hay encima. Su hija Juana la Loca y su esposo Felipe el Hermoso también yacen aquí, con sus tumbas adornadas con intrincados tallados en alabastro de figuras reclinadas.
Destacados: Entra y mira hacia arriba: la impresionante reja plateresca de hierro que rodea las tumbas reales fue forjada con 3.000 kilogramos de plata traída de América. La cripta real inferior está casi a oscuras, donde puedes ver el sencillo ataúd de Isabel a través de un panel de vidrio, un humilde lugar de descanso final para la reina que financió a Colón.
Consejos de expertos
- Go down the stairs to the crypt, because that is where the royal sarcophagi are located, and most tourists only stop upstairs.
- Bring a 1 euro coin for the lighting in the sacristy display cases, otherwise the details of the golden reliquaries will remain in semi-darkness.
- Photography of the interior is allowed without flash, but the crypt is too dark for good photos, so focus on the altar and the Renaissance grilles.
- Combine the visit with a walk through Albaicín and the cathedral, since all three places are within a five-minute walk of each other.
