We were not completely satisfied. The reason is maybe that we visited also Alhambra (which is almost perfect ...). Alcazar is not very well maintained, is not perfectly cleaned and all the fountains were off!!! This fact was quite disappointing ... and if you see Generalife you'll understand why. The absence of water change completely the atmosphere in the gardens.... More

Peaceful and beautiful gardens and amazing palace. We waited till late afternoon to visit as there were no queues then

Unlike the Alhambra, which was quite scripted, we toured without a guide or headphones or even a plan--because it was that gnarly to figure out how to get such things. Probably would have been quite worthwhile to know more than I picked up from earlier and later reading and other people's guides.

Some say that this rivals the Alhambra in Granada. Such comparisons are invidious but this is a truly magnificent complex in which remnants of its Moorish past subsist with later post-re-conquest and Renaissance palaces. The gardens are fine too

A wonderful experience highlighting the Moorish influence on Spain. You will need 1/2 day to take it in.

What an amazing sight! I wouldn't miss this for the world. A great way to see the preservation of the Moors' architecture.

Rush through the first dozen rooms and slow down and enjoy once ou get to the tilted rooms and the gardens. Avoid busy times if you want to sit and enjoy a coffee as there are way to few seats.

A charming palace in the center of town. A place where you can breathe history of several centuries every moment

Certainly worth the money! Its very nice to visit the alcazar around noon as you can enjoy the shadow in the garden then.
